As night fell on US 50, the straight road leading west from Orlando seemed to stretch endlessly. Giant oak trees, adorned with Spanish moss like Christmas tinsel, lined the sides. The road lit up in a warm orange glow as I continued westward.
In the distance, a breathtaking canvas of orange and purple hues painted the sky, as if God himself had taken a brush to it. The oversized sun gracefully stretched over the road, its edges reaching beyond the trees that flanked the route.
Regret lingered as I realized I left my camera's SD card behind. I yearned to capture the scene, yet the beauty I witnessed surpassed any photograph. Despite Florida's quirks with drivers and inflated prices, the awe-inspiring spectacle of Mother Nature never failed to leave me spellbound.
In that moment, cruising down US 50, I couldn't help but feel like I was living a scene from a movie.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone photos.
