Cropped

My camera was accidentally set on "artistic effect" and I noticed sunbeams coming through the clouds in several areas. Leaving a gas station, I pointed my camera in the direction of the sunbeams and clicked...but I was watching the road and didn't know what I had captured until I got home.

Some stark winter trees seem to be surrendering to the powerful beam of light from above; the camera setting gives a mysterious effect to the overall scene.
