Hall Road, near Elsenham Hall Road is a minor road through north Essex countryside.

This image was taken on a sunny day in late October.  The sun was low in the sky, so the hedge on the opposite side of the road casts a long shadow.  Trees were turning golden brown and starting to shed their leaves as winter approaches.
