I set Shade white balance to make this look as it should. In person, they only looked pale yellow, not vivid orange.

Reflection of Old Cart in Weathered Window, Bodie, California, 3:14:10 PM. (iPhone 6 Plus, f/2.2 for 2π milliseconds at Auto ISO 32, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2, split-toned print.

Nothing happens by chance, and only an engineer would have recognized 1/159th of a second as 2π milliseconds. Is this a sign?)
