Reflection Hunters Contest ~ Round 145 | Reflections of the Lower Pond
Hello, friends.
Today for the Reflection Hunters Contest I want to present reflections in the mirror surface of the Lower Pond, located in the city of Kaliningrad.
The Lower Pond, or its second name, the Lower Lake, has a length of about a kilometer, and a width in various areas from fifty to one hundred meters. The Lower Pond is located in the very center of the city of Kaliningrad; water enters the Lower Pond through a cascade from the Upper Pond. A stream called the Cat Stream flows out of the Lower Pond and flows into the Pregol River. True, you won’t be able to see Cat Stream flows; at the beginning of the 20th century, it was enclosed in a pipe.
The history of the Lower Pond goes back to knightly times. It was created in 1256 by the knights of the Teutonic Order to fill the fortress moats with water and protect the castle of Königsberg. The Lower Pond is the oldest man-made structure in Kaliningrad that has survived to this day.
Currently, there is a green recreational area around the Lower Pond, with pedestrian and bicycle paths. You can take a leisurely stroll along the shore or sit on one of the many benches, watching the ducks and swans swimming in the pond. You can cross from one bank to the other via two pedestrian bridges or by walking around the perimeter of the pond.

thank you very much ))
Extraordinary. The water in this pool seems quite clear like a mirror. The shadow of the building is similar to the original.
@juliansokto this happens when there is complete calm, thank you very much for your attention
Yes, you are welcome
What a beautiful lake, I love how big it is@irvet
I love seeing period buildings, especially when they project beautiful reflections on the surface of a lake.
Beautiful shots, you had excellent topography
May you enjoy the weekend
@jlufer I like this lake too, thank you for your attention
Wow! That's amazing to know that this is a man made pond that survived for such a long time. And the reflections are incredible and so clear.
Historians say that about seven hundred years ago, there was a mill on the pond and it was called the Mill Pond, then the city grew around the castle and the pond and the pond began to be called the Castle Pond, but now it is simply called the Lower Pond or more often the Lower Lake
