Going to a place is fun, especially to a place with a good view, that day I arrived at a reservoir in the area where I live, approximately 5 kilometers from my house, by riding a motorbike I left that day, after a few minutes of traveling I arrived at my destination, the road here is steep, I need to be careful going down the road, after arriving, I parked my motorbike, and I started taking pictures of the place, this place is a reservoir of river water, to then be channeled to the community's rice fields, and has an impact positive for society. After that I took a walk while enjoying the place, that day the weather was quite sunny, even though it was already afternoon.

This place was built in 2011, and completed in 2018, the construction period was quite long, this used to be a village community garden, because this area is located far from urban life, this place is quiet, because it is not a tourist spot so no one visits this reservoir. The reservoir water comes from the river at the end of the reservoir, the flowing water fills the reservoir area and accommodates it for agricultural purposes, most of the villagers depend on agriculture for their livelihood, and this sector is very important in providing good facilities for the community.

Today I was in this place for about an hour, with my friend who also enjoyed the scenery here, although we don't have a digital camera yet, but with a cell phone camera trying to take some photos of the reservoir area, if the resulting photo is not clear, but I have prepared some photos of the reservoir area.

The water in the reservoir that day was very cloudy, because it had been raining for the past few days, usually the water here is clear, from a distance you can see the sluice gate, a place to control the flow of water from the reservoir.

It seems that this area used to be a community garden and on the sides there are also community gardens, because it is a plantation area and also hills so it is suitable to build a reservoir, water can flow rushing into the rice fields, but this place has not been functioned as a tourist spot, do not know in the future how the program from the government for this reservoir.

In the past, this place also had a mystery story, because according to the story of the people in this reservoir it was inhabited by supernatural beings, which became a legend from time immemorial.
