Herdsman Lake

Not long time ago I've posted few photos from Lake Monger which is very close from my house. Interesting thing is that's not the only lake that's within walking distance from my place, the other one is Herdsman Lake. Did I also mention I walk to work every day and live less than 10 minutes by train from the city center? Not a bad spot in a 1.6 million people city, is it? :) But coming back to Herdsman Lake. It probably takes me around 20 minutes to walk there and to be honest I'm not there that often but every now and then I'll ride my bike around it. Have a look at few photos from my last ride.

1. There's few small jetties around and most of the time you're going to be alone there which
is pretty cool considering how close to the city center you are

2. Plenty of trees growing in the water around

3. At the top of the hill, looking south

4. This time looking west

5. South again, city center in the background

6. There's more than one track going around the lake

7. Of course black swans are here as well, sometimes you can also spot little ones

8. You can either go on the paved track along the main road or closer to water

9. Some places can be pretty scary, especially at dusk

10. But during the day it looks cool

And that's where Herdsman Lake is:
