Balcony rays

We spent a busy morning doing house chores and then a laid back in the pm. Around 4:00 I stepped outside our second floor balcony and so this view. I will confess to using Picnik in Flickr to play around with the exposure levels to get this like I saw it in my head. We live in an area with about 2000 people called Midori-dai or Green Hills. In front of our house is a park. Our street has no through traffic and the traffic in the whole area is not much. This means it is quiet.
