Reflection: Tasik Biru

Assalamu'alaikum w.b.t.
 
It was a long time since my last entry as I am a bit busy recently. However, I will try to make a room for updating this blog whenever possible.
 
Today, I would like to share some photos of Tasik Biru or Blue Lake, located at Kundang, Rawang. The following is the excerpt from Wikipedia
 
'Tasik Biru Seri Kundang is a lake located at Seri Kundang, Rawang, Selangor. It is an ex-mining lake that used to be developed long time ago during the British period. During its olden days, the lake was used to be the biggest mining area in Rawang district, and one of the biggest in Selangor as well. It is about 25 km to the north from Kuala Lumpur.
 
After the colonial time, Tasik Biru is set to be a water sports and recreation centre for the local and foreign tourists. The area surrounding the lake, encompassing about 32 hectares (80 acres) would be upgraded with a recreation area and a jogging track around the lake'
 
Wow!! It seems that this Tasik Biru is one of the famous spots in Malaysia! However, now Tasik Biru is being developed and we can see housing estate starts to emerge near the surrounding.
 
The photos below were captured from 17 storey apartment building, standing tall beside the lake. The sky was a bit cloudy but still good for photography. The calm weather and absence of water activities in the lake enable us to see good reflection on the surface of water. Maybe this is how the lake got its name.
 
Anyway, please enjoy the photos.
