sunlit stile

Out on a walk this afternoon I was about to cross this ladder stile when I noticed the sun behind it. Thought I might be able to photograph the stile, blocking the sun with the top section. Got some interesting results (and some failures).

It was a frosty, misty morning and the sun didn't appear until after lunch. Fortunately I didn't try the riverside walk. When I got a view down to it the path was submerged.
