These photographs fall into my category of “Drive by Shootings”! You see something as you driving along and you throw the car onto the verge so that you can grab your camera and run back to shoot it.

The main shot here was taken directly into the sunlight and you can see almost a complete circle of flare from the setting sun. The HDR treatment allows me to put some of the detail back into the tree trunk and the grass and nettles (yes, I was standing in a patch of nettle to take this shot) in the foreground of the shot.
The tree looked great from all angles and these are some of the other shots I took.
