Post Bronica Photos... Any format. I just want to see Bronica photos

A few weeks ago, I took my power chair out by myself and met up with a friend to have a beer at a small, local beer joint. Before leaving, I had my mom put my Bronica ETR-Si around my neck, and since my hands don't work well, I had her preset the exposure to Sunny 16. It was still daylight when I left the house, and I managed to shoot one decent frame on the way. I met up with my friend, hung out for a few hours, had a few beers, and then headed home. The sun had just gone down behind the western hills, and it was just getting dark, but the sky was still fairly bright. Sure enough, I come this scene that I think will make a great photo, but now I'm by myself. I managed to wind the camera to the next frame, but my exposure is still at 1/250 and f/11 with Ektar in the camera. I didn't have any way to meter the scene, but I figured I needed f/8 and 1/125 at least for a good exposure. Well, I tried as hard as I could, for about 3 minutes, to change either the shutter or aperture luck before giving up, defeated. At this point I was quite frustrated and discouraged, but I decided I would take the photo anyway, and just hope for the best.
Here's the results. I figure this is at least 2 stops underexposed, but sometimes you have to take what your given.
