Puddle reflection on my commute looked like a Rothko painting

Drove past the same gas station puddle for a year before I parked and actually looked at it. The oil slick and sky made this perfect orange and grey rectangle, like something you'd see in a gallery. Turns out the angle of the sun and the cracked asphalt created it, but only for about 20 minutes after rain. Anyone else ever had a random everyday scene stop you cold because it looked intentional?

Hell yeah, that's the whole trick of good art. It's hiding in plain sight till you actually stop and look.
