Vermillion Lakes
Week #5
Theme: Monochrome
Just got home tonight from a weekend in Banff. It was our first time staying in this part of the Rockies, so we had a great time exploring the area. The weather was awesome...temps above freezing...blue sky....it was just perfect. Yesterday, we spent the late afternoon out at Vermillion Lakes. I found this spot and loved some of the elements...the uprooted tree in the water...the rocks on the ice...the reflections. It's an interesting spot...although much of the lakes are frozen, parts of them are not frozen due to some hot springs running through. We stayed in this spot for a couple of hours, waiting until the light got really nice...I kind of "staked my claim" with my tripod lol. This shot was taken just after the sun went down.
Today we drove home through the Icefields Parkway...and it was breathtaking. And with seeing only a handful of cars for its almost 300 kilometres, it felt like we had those glorious mountains all to ourselves. :)
