spent last Saturday cruising the North Cascades and wound up in the Methow Valley in eastern Washington. it's a very rural area - the only two towns in the valley have a combined population of about 1500. it's dotted with farms, deer abound, and birches, aspens, and lodgepole pines line the river banks. one of those pastoral places i would love to live in when i retire... 
anyway, i was driving down this one-lane dirt road, saw this scene, and pulled over... the light was about gone, and the road and trees were in deep shadow, so i shot 3 frames, +1/0/-1, and blended the exposures in Photomatix. this is the result... kinda makes me want to just start walking, listening to the crunch of gravel under my shoes, enjoying the sights and smells of autumn... 40D, tammy 17-35 @ 17mm, nominal exposure 1/3.3 @ f/14...

Nice autumn capture! Although I kinda wonder how it would look if you from a lower perspective.
