let's get wet @ cijin.....

....

hello everyone it's wednesday again time is running so fast that i can't almost feel the day and date....this photos were taken @ cijin beach one rainy sunday afternoon....i enjoyed clicking thought it is already raining because i don't want to miss any single opportunity to catch those lovely waves and to enjoy the scenery in front of me....on sunny day a lot of foreigners and locals were here to freshen up and others to enjoy surfing,i may post it next time i just need to be confident putting those foreigners picture here without their permission lol!

"a person should go out on the water on a fine day to a small distance from a beautiful coast, if he would see Nature really smile.  Never does she look so delightful, as when the sun is brightly reflected by the water, while the waves are gently rippling, and the prospect receives life and animation from the glancing transit of an occasional row-boat, and the quieter motion of a few small vessels.  But the land must be well in sight; not only for its own sake, but because the immensity and awfulness of a mere sea-view would ill accord with the other parts of the glittering and joyous scene.  ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers"

i took these photos using my cellfone when i went to cheng ching lake for a walk...it's been so long sitting on my cellfone and as i was browsing my photos i accidentally saw these two photos and think that it's time for them to be feature-there is nothing special about these photos only the fact that this lake was one of the biggest source of our water here in kaohsiung and the first photo shows how  clean and well maintained the cheng ching lake is-i just love the scenery here so peaceful and calm......

click the photo to view the fountain

cheng ching lake-

“Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.”

....a lake for a cause????

Cheng ching Lake, formerly named Dabei Lake, is located in Niaosong Township in Kaohsiung County where i lived. It is the largest lake in  Kaohsiung and one of the most popular tourist attractions in southern Taiwan. It was originally developed from wetlands into a reservoir to meet the need for water for industrial use. Later the lake focused on its landscaping and opened to the public as a tourist destination in 1960.According to my boss when Chiang kai shek was still alive he used to lived at cheng ching lake and no one is allowed to enter the place.There are many attractions within the lake. Two main attractions are the nine-cornered bridge   and Jhongsing (Restoration) pagoda (i will try to get a decent photo of it next time)...... here are some of the views of the man-made lake...
