A couple weeks ago I had insomnia one night and was awake at sunrise. I was making coffee when I saw out the window that my Japanese Maple tree was glowing. I went out to take some pictures and my neighbor’s truck was right there. So, here’s Red Maple, Black Truck. It’s nothing special but I wanted to play. 😀 [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/qobpJvY.jpeg "Imgur: The magic of the Internet") ](https://imgur.com/qobpJvY) ---

Shooting to the brief again but it was extra hard this time since I’m not at home and didn’t have much time. Best I could do is this view of Thames River traffic taken from the Tower Bridge (the warship, HMS Belfast, doesn’t move though - that’s a floating museum now).
