This photo is taken in Hanoi Vietnam. The lake is Hoan Kiem which translated means Lake of the Returned Sword and is named after a local myth. I recently read that the lake is only about one and a half metres deep but there is a layer of 5 to 6 metres of toxic sludge on the bottom. Efforts are underway to clean the lake up which reportedly holds a giant 200 kg turtle.
