The last time I went for hiking was nearly a month ago. That was at the Air Itam Dam. It must has been ages since my last visit as I can’t recall how the place looks like. I even forget the usual place I park my car near the foot hill years ago. End up parked my car at Kek Lok Si compound. From there, we hiked up using the tar road.
The road leading up to Air Itam dam is a breeze until we came across the steep road just before we reached Air Itam Dam. Along the way, I noticed cars and bikes going up and down the hill. Not bad for a Sunday morning.
Occasionally I saw some mountain bikers cycled up the hill. More and more people are cycling nowadays. During weekend morning you can see a number of mountain bikers around Sungai Ara, Relau, Air Itam and Tanjung Bungah area.
We reached the dam not long after that.
I really cannot recall Air Itam Dam is such a beautiful place to hang around in the morning until I saw the hills surrounding it.
After enjoying the view, I walked across to the other side to enjoy a better view from the top.
The place makes me so relax. Every time, I am in touch with nature, I get mentaly peaceful.
I took some time to snap some nice tree branches with blue sky in the background.
Don’t really know why, I love to admire such scenery. 
And this one too. I can just stand there and admire the beauty without thinking of a single thing. Peace of mind.
If you are living in Penang, do some exercise during the weekend morning at Air Itam Dam; either hiking or jogging around the dam.
Sam, this place is sure a nice place for a walk or jog. I was there last weekend and I will go there again soon.
