My Hideaway Spot - A Communist "Relic"

in #photography8 years ago

When you have a lot in your mind and you want to treat away from people, what do you do? Where do you go?
My hideaway spot is the Artifical Lake of Tirana. It's another communist "artifact", built around 1950. It's one of the few spaces not ruined in the last 26 years of transitional "democracy". Although, no one is doing maintenance. The park's area is 1 569 337 m2 while the Artificial Lake's area is 450 000 m2. (I know, it's not so small). My walks do not last less than 1 h and a half.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Amazing place, i wish im living in this of place. Away from the busy traffic in the city and a bit close to nature.

it's just the park not busy with traffic. The city is quite crowded.

Beautiful

Wonderful :) Why do you hate the D3000 btw? I own a D3300 which I really like.

"but who would build the artificial lakes without the government!"

Because it's not mine and i don't know how to use it properly hahahaha
