Beautiful Taiping Lake

Despite the morning sun, we continued our morning walk along the Lake Gardens... along the way, we talked to some elderly local people who were very friendly. They told us what we did not know about this place, where to climb up the hill at one section. Too bad we had no time to venture further... just taking this long walk claimed almost one hour... but it was good.. great to sweat....

very neat row of trees on each side...

this reminds me of those ancient chinese series...

the water lilies...

too bad my handphone cannot focus much..

one of the bestest shot I can take.. hahaha...

I love this reflection...
though just one colour
GREEN-soothing to the eyes....
