Well done.

And yes Francios, I could have so easily done that and in so many ways, as it was blowing a hoolie, cold and the sun was just about to sink behind a cloud for only a moment or two just as I happened to be driving by. So I slammed on the brakes, threw on my 70/200, setup the shot on the tripod and fired off about half a dozen frames in probably less than a minute (or so), before the sun re-emerged and the moment was gone and then so was I.

So even though this shot might look both serene and peaceful, but if you could have seen me taking it, then I was rushing around like a demented bull in a china shop and totally relying on muscle memory alone just to get the shot :)
