"Stop the car!" I urged my husband as we were driving in the Trinity Mountains of Northern California. Fortunately, there was a pull-out just beyond the bridge and I was able to get some great photos of this scene. The rays of light slanting through the dense forest behind lent the scene a mysterious vibe to the realms behind the spotlighted center stage of the glowing trees along the river bank.
