Sights on My Morning Walk - Lake Front Park

It was an early start to the day and I thought I could walk at Tank Bund. It was a rather foggy day with little chances of seeing the sunrise, so I parked near Eat Street, and walked along the road towards Sanjeevaiah Park detouring into the side parks every now and then.

Foggy day


An intimidating entrance

Passed Jala Vihar and then I came upon this weird structure with a board - Lake Front Park which had an entry of some 50 bucks I think. There were two severe looking lady guards who looked like they would not let a fly in without the requisite paperwork. Anyway curiosity got the better of me and I went in. The first thing that catches your eye is the the metal bridges that are painted red which are flying all over the park - taking off from here and landing there with no real purpose at all. 

Bridge to nowhere


The monstrosity

One step on to the metal bridge which is full of dew and you realise that there is a great chance of slipping and falling because the metal has no grip. Falling on the bridge can be a painful experience so I walked gingerly until i got off the bridge. I walked on terra firma the rest of my visit there and just walked to all corners - nothing much. The bushes there are some wild variety and unless you fancy a walk around desert type of environments there's nothing much.

Cute canteen

Some creative landscaping

A cute canteen though which was shut. A few couple, a few boys who were discussing films, a couple of old gentlemen, and that is it. I'd give it a miss.
