The motorway - a thing of beauty?

The autumn colours are so dramatic at the moment that even the motorway can be a delight for the eyes! I'm doing a lot of stuff in London this week (and lots of love to Esther Rantzen who's minding the show this week on BBC Radio Berkshire) and so I'm having to do a lot of motorway driving.

Usually it's pretty mind-numbing but the autumn colours were simply fantastic today, with this sort of display lining both sides of the route. Obviously its difficult and dangerous to stop and take any sort of photo that would do justice to the sight. But my passenger snatched this view with my mobile phone. Stunning, isn't it? This was on the M40 in Buckinghamshire.
