I arrived at Terra Cotta and stepped out of my car, eager to start exploring. The sun was setting, casting an orange and golden glow over the park. The air was cool and crisp, and the leaves rustled softly in the breeze. I could hear the sounds of nature all around me, from the chirping of crickets to the distant calls of birds.
As I walked along the path, I couldn't help but be struck by the beauty of the park. The trees were tall and full, and I could see the light filtering through their branches, creating dappled patterns on the ground below. There were benches and picnic tables scattered throughout, perfect for taking a break and enjoying the peace and quiet of the park.
As I walked deeper into the park, I came across a small lake surrounded by willow trees. The water was calm, reflecting the sky and the trees around it like a mirror. I stood there for a moment, admiring the serene scene before me, and I took out my camera to capture it.
I adjusted my settings to ISO50, f/4.5 and 1/60th shutter speed, and took the shot. When I looked back at the image, I was thrilled with the results. The colors were rich and vibrant, and the details were sharp and clear. I could see the delicate lines of the willow branches, the gentle ripples on the water, and the faint reflection of the sky in the lake.
I took a few more shots of the lake, then continued on my exploration. Before I knew it, it was time to head back to the baseball field to pick up my wife. I walked back to my car, already making plans to visit Terra Cotta again, this time with more time to really explore and appreciate the beauty of the park.
