An Autumn Jasper Gem

This large stand of golden aspens adds much to this classic view of Pyramid Peak reflected in Patricia Lake. One of the treasures close to Jasper Alberta.

 

A Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my dear Canadian friends!

 

"The lake’s history is a fascinating one. Due to its remote location, it played an important role in World War II as the site for the top secret Project Habbakuk. This was an attempt by the the Allied Forces to create an unsinkable aircraft carrier out of a special material that contained pulp and seawater. The ‘Pykekrete‘ was to be frozen solid so it would float. The experiment was a failure and the remains of the first model was left to sink in the lake. In summer it is possible to scuba dive down and see the wreck." Expedia.com

 

Enjoy your Sunday and have a wonderful week ahead!
