The answer to the question is yes and no. This photo was taken using available light on September 4, 2010, at the St. Francis Winery…after sunset. The photo came off the camera without any additional editing, except to add a watermark.
The leaves in question were in fact green. The golden color was created by an orange floodlight illuminating the setting for a winemaker dinner at the winery in Sonoma County.

Frank I certainly do recognize the photo, and the beautiful setting you describe. It was one of my more memorable outside dining events.
