Contre-Jour

 

There’s something very dramatic about viewing something “against the light”, or from the shadow side with light seeping around the edges. And I rather like dramatic.

This is another scene from Church Lane, in Witley, Surrey. The lane is less sunken here, near the top of the hill, and the rocky sides have largely given way to earthen banks, but the trees are still wonderful.
