Capturing the dynamic range of the scene at that time of day is beyond what a normal camera is capable of rendering without:
1. multiple exposures and blending in post-processing
2. adding light, which, based on posts in other sections, a lot of people on this site are afraid of doing.
See twowindsbear's post for what is, in my opinion, the best solution without resorting to lighitng it up like a movie set.
I like the idea of making it an outing and trying out our ideas.
We haven't heard from the original poster again, have we?

Yep - - it's the exposure. I also think the white balance is off quite a bit - would be better if you had the RAW data to recompose. And finally - recommend auto-bracketing at +2eV, then running the three shots judiciously through Photomatix (HDR) - free to try (with watermarking) - reasonable to buy.Took this shot on a tripod.
