As to the color... the sun 's first early morning rays are striking the trees from below a dense cloud (golden hour light)... there's a slight mist rising off the meadow in the foreground (gray-blue)... fall leaf color in the trees (greens-orange-brown)... forest tree trunks (grey-brown-black)... understory leaves on shrubs have not changed, yet (strong green base)... understory grape vines are changing color (splash of yellow)... In a nutshell, just a lucky shot, as the color was vivid for about 10 minutes. Once the sun rose above the cloud, all was "back to Fall normal"... a dull gray overcast morning.
