Hello, what an amazing view! Definitely, if you are going to be late for work, this view may be the most valid reason :D This road you use on your way to work is a very lucky route :) You said that there is no filter in the photo, the wonderful colors of nature danced. I don't know if you paint but if you are interested in painting you can paint this photo :)

P.S. The view and colors are beautiful but don't be unfair to yourself, your shooting angles are very successful :) By the way, if you want, you can participate @axeman's photography contests in the WOX community. There is a great community of photographers out there :)
