Sunset at Osborndale State Park, Derby CT

Cheryl and I had never been to Osborndale State Park in Derby before so we decided to give it a go. It was a cold winters day and very few people were there. We parked in the designated parking area and it was a one minute walk to the pond. We were hoping to see ducks and geese but nothing.

Cheryl wanted to photograph birds and headed over to the woods adjacent to the pond and waited. She came away with a nice red winged black bird and a woodpecker shot. I had a short zoom on my camera which was not conducive to birding so I tried to find a shot with what I had. Frankly the area seemed pretty desolate and all I could come up with was this one big tree with a setting sun behind it glimmering off the ponds surface.

Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 f2.8 GM II lens at 27mm.
