Until this year, I've never taken the time to explore the trails behind the North Carolina Museum of Art. I found this beautiful tree next to a pond. The tree is green, but in infrared light, looks like it is glowing with light. Leaves and plants tend to reflect a lot of infrared light, giving them the appearance of being made of snow or ice.
Standing like solemn sentinels, the remains of the gutted engine peered out from the minivan's hood. But this minivan would not be going anywhere. Abandoned by an unknown owner, its engine compartment burned out, and its interior looted, the van waits for its last stop. As all things eventually must, it, too, must go to its grave.
