Reflection Hunters Contest -Week #50 - Beauty of Nature!!

Reflections always intrigue me in how they can be the perfect mirror reflections the wonders of the world at the times I see reflections I often just stare at them in amazement and then walk away forgetting to take a photo but this time I did not do that I was draw to these beautiful reflections in the abandon mining town of Phuket which they have now turned into a mining museum with this gorgeous, beautiful lake and trees surrounding the tin mine with the look alike pine trees around the lake, it reminded me of the lakes you see in the national parks of American.

This Tin mining museum is set around 170 acres of mountain land with this huge lake surrounding the museum which shows all the traditional methods of Tin mining in Phuket from way back. Tin mining was an very important industry in Phuket since the 18th century it was the turning point for Phuket City and grew to what it is today unfortunately it all came to a end when the last tin mine was closed in 1992.

The surrounding lake was so photogenic by day it was so very lush looking, as we were walking around the lake we were getting a nice refreshing sensation from the whole scenery.

And by night as the sun set over the lake it looked ever more beautiful. There are little cafes and little restaurants along by the lake were you can sit and enjoy the evening sunset over the lake while having dinner.
