Lake Haridas

The water on the lake is gently moved by a soft breeze blowing in from the east. The sun is sinking behind the horizon. Overhead, birds of varying shapes and sizes glide onto the water to drink their fill, and perch themselves on nearby tress. They create a symphony of sound to gently encircle you. A lake is a body of relatively still water of considerable size, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land apart from a river, stream, or other form of moving water that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes are inland and not part of the ocean and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are larger and deeper than ponds. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.
