Worth getting up for
This is old news, no doubt, to painters and cinematographers, but there are some colors that exist only fleetingly, under certain conditions of light, background, air quality, etc.
For example, the color in the newly budding trees across the street, with very low angled dawn light against a dark cloud, in clear early spring air. Five minutes later it was totally different.
Sidenote: even committed as I am to not mucking about overmuch with physical reality, my first thought on seeing the picture was that it would be relatively easy for someone with Photoshop skills to get rid of those pesky power lines.
