Naraka Fengandu …


Hello ...
Went to Laamu Atoll in the weekend …
Had to do some work there …
Good place … lotsa land … an airport …
Surrounded by a shallow lagoon …
That can be easily reclaimed … if the need be …
Saw lotsa potential in that place …
After my work was done … went sight seeing a bit …
The most interesting was … Naraka Fen'gandu …
That's hell pond for non-maldivians …
It was a pond in the middle of jungle …
It wasn't salt water …  it wasn't fresh water either …
Some kinda mix I guess …  dunno for sure …
When approached from the pathway …
It seemed like a mirror was laid flat on ground …
The water was so still …  not a single ripple on it …
That the reflection of trees surrounding it …
Had a very kewl effect off it …
Not much fish or life in it …
There was a big fallen tree near the pond …
It is said that this tree is more than 100 years old …
Both the pond and the tree made a very nice feature …
All in all …  it was a good trip …
Laterx ...

I think that kind of pond is called a brackish water. Mix of both fresh and salt water.

Glad you enjoyed the trip bro.

the pool of water is reputed to be three to four fishing line rolls deep, and coconuts (written on, for control) dropped in the water have been known to resurface miles out at sea!
