Two Sides of the Road

I was driving through some pretty typical Oxfordshire countryside one afternoon, as I am wont to do, and was very much struck by the quality of the light that day. I tried to capture something of the day's atmosphere with my camera.

However, having lost the manual which came with this camera, I am never sure what I'm doing with it. I KNOW I'm not getting the best out of it.

Hence: One side of the road looked like this.
And the other side like this.

Obviously, I know it's not a great idea to point your camera towards the sun. Though this photo has some redeeming qualities, but I wish I'd known which knobs to twiddle to have got a slightly better picture.

Then you'd have seen the flock heavily pregnant sheep in the foreground! {vbg}
