On our last day in Banff, Stephanie and I spent a few years in and around scenic Lake Louise. We started the day by taking a gondola ride high above town before heading back to the lake itself for a few final shots.
The mountain behind the lake is called Mt. Victoria, and the glacier on its northern face is called Victoria Glacier. At the base of the mountain, there is some more snow and then gravely rock angling to the lake. To give you a sense of scale, the distance from the lake shore to the point where the base of Mt. Victoria meets the gravel and snow is an almost unbelievable six miles.

This shot is awesome. I love the color of the water and the flowers. Just cool!
The lakes up there all have these incredible hues. It's from sediment in the glaciers that feed these lakes. As a result, I'm left to assume that the lakes will change color over the next century.
