Lake Louise: Upon first sighting the sparkling turquoise Lake Louise, the actual lake itself, it is difficult not to gasp in awe. The beautiful, milky-blue lake rests at the foot of Victoria Glacier, which rises majestically behind it, capped by snow and ice year round. First sighted by Europeans in 1882, the magnificent Lake Louise has become one of Canada’s best-loved and most-visited attractions. Lake Louise is world famous for its turquoise lakes, the Victoria Glacier, soaring mountain backdrop, palatial hotel, and incredible hiking and skiing. Surrounded by a lifetime’s worth of jaw-dropping sights and adventures, Lake Louise is a rare place that must be experienced to be believed. Lake Louise (named Ho-run-num-nay (Lake of the Little Fishes) by the Stoney Nakota First Nations people) is a glacial lake within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. It is located 5 km (3.1 mi) west of the Hamlet of Lake Louise and the Trans-Canada Highway
The lake is surrounded by mountains of the President Range, Mount Burgess and Wapta Mountain. In the image, you can also see the Emerald Lake Lodge, a long foot bridge and the canoe rentals. The canoes are not cheap to rent, but if you have deep pockets it’s a peaceful way to enjoy the lake. Currently the rates are $70 for a one hour rental.
Natural Bridge was an attraction that I’m deeming to be a waterfall attraction because the Kicking Horse River actually disappeared before re-emerging through its span.
However, depending on your viewing angle, the span kind of seemed more like rocks being wedged together than a legitimate natural bridge. That color in the water, which seemed to be typical of the watercourses and lakes in this area, was a result of minerals and other deposits injected by glaciers prevalent in the area.
Growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled.
Beautiful fall colour was seen this year in Ontario north in Canada. Beside there are many many lakes big and small in this area. The lake provide reflection of the brilliant coulur of foliage.

Crowfoot Glacier is east of the continental divide, and runoff from the glacier supplies water to the Bow River. The glacier has retreated since the end of the Little Ice Age and now has lost one entire lobe; it therefore no longer resembles the glacier which early explorers named. The Crowfoot Glacier is on the left while the Crowfoot Mountain is at the center. The Bow Lake is at the bottom. I shot this photo from Icefields Parkway.
To captured this image, I have bracketed 9 shots and merged them to a HRD-Pano image.
At Emerald Lake, you can enjoy the viewing of all mountain peak around it. Here, he was looking at the Mount King which is 2,868M high and highest peak of Mount Deville.
This beautiful scene although not a well-known tourist spot was captured along the Bow River at the Cascades of Time Gardens and beside the Banff Ave bridge.
Cascade Mountain is a mountain located in the Bow River Valley of Banff National Park, adjacent to the town of Banff. The mountain has also been called Stoney Chief, which is related to the name of the smaller neighbouring mountain Stoney Squaw, which is still in use. Cascade is the highest mountain adjacent to the townsite.
The lakefront trail leads to the back of the Lake Louise, where meltwater trickles down the mountainsides and fills this glacially-carved basin. At the lake's upper end is a beach of silt that you can walk out on.
This is the very fine sediment eroded by glaciers that suspends in the water to give its turquoise color.
The back of the lake is guarded by a steep climb and then a descent, but the work is brief and rewarding. The view across the lake toward the Fairmont Chateau and Lake Louise Ski Resort is beautiful, especially in evening light. In this area near the end of the trail, you may also see rock climbers scaling the cliffs above, using ropes and harnesses and other gear for safety. Enjoy this 4.5-km out-and-back trail near Lake Louise, Alberta. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 10 min to complete. This is a very popular area for birding, snowshoeing, and trail running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
This image was captured at the end of the frontfront trail at the back of the lake.
Chubetsu Lake is a lake sitting on the border of Higashikawa Town and Biei Town on the northeastern side of the Daisetsuzan Range in central Hokkaido, just south of Asahikawa City. The most straight forward access to the lake for canoeing is from the Shinsui Park at the northeastern end of the lake on the Higashikawa Town side.
It was a sunny day after almost a week of rain. There was no cloud in the sky. The strong contrast wasn't too good however it gave a excellent reflection of both the snow at top of the mountain as well as the autumn colour from the closest hill.
Mistaya Canyon is a canyon in the western part of the Canadian province of Alberta. It is formed by the Mistaya River. The Mistaya river originates in Peyto Lake, 30 km north of this spot near the Bow Summit. Mistaya originates from the Stoney word for "much wind." The river runs through the valley and a series of long narrow lakes including Mistaya Lake and Waterfowl Lake.
The vast majority of the valley in which it the river flows has been cut by a glacier like all the other valleys in Banff National Park, but water is starting to do it's work as well. The river has cut a very narrow and very curvy slot canyon through the limestone in this spot.
