Description
Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada is one of the most photographed places in Canada, if not the world! Visitors from all over the world travel to see this magnificent lake in Banff National Park. I took this photo early in the morning, as canoeists were beginning to paddle in the red canoes to the far end, right under Victoria Glacier. The view from that end, back toward the famous hotel, must be breathtaking.
The reflections from the mountain slope are echoed in the lake. One canoe is reflected in the clear, turquoise glacial waters. Trees and gravel form wedges of color in the water. It would not be wise to fall into the water as it is a cold 41 degrees temperature. Snow can and has fallen every month of the year. It is the highest permanent settlement in Canada at 5,680 feet elevation.
