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.

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.

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.

A pano view of Moraine Lake - consider the time of the day when you’ll visit. Photographers will advise you to make sure to go there during the golden hours, after sunrise or before sunset, of the day to catch the best lighting. The sun’s light gives a glow to the mountains and the lake that make the place look glorious. However when we arrived at 8am, the parking lot was full and no vehicle can enter as the staff stops you to enter from the main road. I was told by the staff if you want to go in the morning to see sunrise, visitors need to arrive even earlier than 5:30am. Therefore we went there again only in the afternoon although the view was no way to compare in the morning sunrise.

Onneto Lake is a part of Akan National Park in Ashoro, Hokkaido. "Onneto" means old pond or big pond in the aboriginal Ainu language. The lake with a circumference of 2.5 km was created when the river was dammed up due to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Meakan-dake. Due to high acidity levels, fish can’t live in the lake but ezo salamander and crawfish can.
Since the surface of Lake Onneto beautifully changes color from light blue to green and dark blue, depending on the time of day or the season, the lake is also called Goshikinuma.
