Wilanow Palace Lake, Warsaw


Yes, the Wilanow Palace Gardens are very beautiful and well worth a stroll round during summer, but I also really like the small lake at the back of the Gardens which serves as a nice retreat from both the hot weather and crowds at Wilanow during the summer:


However, if you're feeling energetic, you can also go for a boat ride on the small lake:



Never tried boating here, but I guess it's good fun. 

The small lake is also a good resting place for our friends the ducks, and the one in the picture below is having a nice mid-afternoon snooze, I guess you could call him (her) a 'dosey duck':



Of course, not all the ducks are knackered or bone idle, and one or two of them can be found swimming on the lake, especially if disturbed by humans:



Finally, the water lilies next to the riverbank make the small lake aesthetically complete:



Yes, the small lake is a special quiet place.
