This is the road leading to Rhododendron State Park in NH.
Some one was burning wood and it made this effect while driving down the road I had to stop and jump out of my car and take this picture.
I thought it was one of the prettiest road shots I have seen.
It did not come out as awesome as it looked in person though.
But it's close enough ^_^

That's what made me stop the car and jump out lol I was amazed at the lighting there ^_^
It was really impressive and I was worried that I wouldnt get the camera and tripod set up before the sun went away or the smoke dissipated.
Glad i did though it looks awesome, but seeing it in person was really amazing, it was like lasers from the sun lol

This makes me think of Stephen King. It's like one of those odd places between worlds, where anything could come out of those trees, or you might go down the road and find yourself not in Maine, but in Gilead. On the Path of the Beam. Or maybe walking down the road on your way to Boulder, and you meet the Walkin' Dude here. (not a good thing)
It's actually the remains of a stone fence on top of a rise (the road was cut in) The stone fences are all over NH, ME, VT and if you're lucky you might find some in MA. They are unique to the region and were built by colonists as they build farmsteads in new England. The trouble is that from glacier movement NE is COVERED in boulders (Mt. Washington isn't called 'the rockpile' for nothing). As the families tried to clear cut, plow fields, etc. they continuously ran into the boulders. They were used in basement walls as well as property markers. They held sheep into pens, and an inspector had to come out and ok your 'fence' to decide who's fault it was that the sheep ate your neighbors garden. (was it yours for not maintaining or their bad luck?)
In the 1700's-1860's NE was about 70% deforested. In the 1880's however the farms were largely abandoned and the woods reclaimed their former ground in a lot of areas, and hence we get what we see above- an abandoned and decaying stone wall. It's not unusual to find them seemingly in the middle of the woods.
