Smile They stretch and touch the water

These are shots taken at the Taiping Lake Garden. I got the chance to visit this place last month. It's been a very long time since I last came here If I'm not mistaken, during the 80s). It is still as beautiful as I can remember. It got very crowded, though.

It took a while, but I finally got the gap I need to capture this shot without any vehicles coming towards me.
Branches covered road

One thing that's special about this place is how the branches of the trees, stretch over the road and touch the water.
It touches the water

You can take a boat tour around the lake if you like.

Just wonderful, Sparda! I love the way the trees arch over the road and bend down to the water. What a beautiful place it must be!

That is one long branch sparda stretching all the way over the road and into the water. Great shots. PAUL

Very unique trees Sparda, the Dutch Elm trees here in Gt Falls use to grow similar to that and would tower over the city streets. It looked if you were driving thru a tunnel. Since the Dutch Elm Disease many of them had to cut down. I however really like the 3rd shot, it has a warm color palette going and is beautiful.
