Over Thanksgiving, I was traveling from the Sierra Nevada foothills to Sacramento along the rural highway 16. The sun was just setting as I passed by this pond in the middle of some farmland that caught my attention. It was a two-lane highway, and the Thanksgiving traffic was crazy. I wanted to take a photo, but I had no safe place to pull over, so I decided to keep heading to Sacramento. I kept driving for another 2 miles when something inside compelled me to turn around. I eventually found a safe turn-off and headed back. I'm glad I did...
