How to tone down sun spots

[DJ <delphitech@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi gimp-user,

I'm not sure what they are called in photographic terminology, but I
have a picture of a long winding road with sunspots. The sun shines
through the trees and is so bright that the eye immediately goes to
those spots. They are pretty big at the beginning of the road. I need
to brighten the picture, but how do I tone down those spots on a
gravel road. They appear almost white.

I've played around with a couple of processes, but nothing looks
realistic or addresses the problem.  Any suggestions?

Thank you.
