Ponds is a suburb in Sydney (NSW, Australia), about 40 km from the CBD. The residential area is fairly new, with beautiful parks and a huge artificial lake called Ironbark Lake. The lake, which was originally a farm dam, has a walkway around it, a playground for toddlers and seating areas to watch the beautiful colors of sunset reflect on the water surface. You will also find a lot of birdlife like wood ducks swimming in the lake.
Here are some of the pictures I had taken on different visits.

Oh my god!! These pictures are absolutely stunning. Each one is better than the other. What a gorgeous place to spend some fun and relaxing time.The first two pictures need to be framed!!
Wow, these pictures are so beautiful. I love lakesides too. I love sitting by one and enjoying the breeze.
The photos are all like picture postcards, Raj. The one with you in it is lovely. How wonderful to see places thousands of miles away through your pictures. I can imagine how soothing it would be to sit and watch the water and the ducks.

Your photos look like paintings. Particularly the last one. It’s wonderful to capture the same site in different seasons – it looks like a different place!
To be truthful this is the first time i’m hearing about this lake. the place looks so calm and peacefull i hope you had a great time there. pics are beautiful.
Absolutely stunning, Rajlakshmi! Ironbark Lake looks like such a magnificent spot, if I lived in Sydney, I would also be a frequent visitor. Water has such a pull for me. These are such beautiful shots, you have really captured the essence of this dreamy place.
The lake and surroundings look beautiful. Well photographed!
LOVE the pictures!
Hello, beautiful views of the lake and sky. The reflections are lovely. Have a great day and happy weekend!
