Thanks, everyone!
That pix is of Benton Crossing Road in the Eastern Sierra. I used a flash so that the "55" sign would reflect and illuminate the way it is there. The picture was taken after sunset, when the sky and pretty much everything else was some shade of blue. Applying a red filter is what gave the light the strange look.
The color version? Pretty ordinary looking!
