In
Nara there is a pond called Sarusawa-no-ike. It's the first point of interest on the tourist walking route from station to
Nara Park (with the deer and the temple with the huge buddha.) For me the attraction of this pond is it's inhabitants. It is home to lots of turtles. Go there on a fine day and you will see logs in the pond crowded with sunbathers. I was there on a very hot day and there were even more turtles swimming in the murky olive water. Here are some of my photos. Check out the shot of the turtle and shrimp swimming side by side! Friendship or dinner?
