Lake Louise

Posted on Oct 1, 2011 in photography

One of the prettier places in Banff National Park Canada is Lake Louis.  It is a small lake where people can go and canoe on the very calm and still water.  What makes the lake interesting is that the water is Turquoise blue.  The water gets is color from minerals that are deposited by the glacier above.  Right after I took this picture, I heard a loud roar and saw a huge avalanche on the glacier above.  It was quite awe inspiring.  What a peaceful and nice place this was to visit in the morning.  It was empty and no one was around.
