Medicine Lake in Jasper National Park, AB, Canada.
Medicine Lake is a geologic anomaly in the sense that it is not actually a lake but rather an area in which the Maligne River (flowing from Maligne Lake into the Athabasca River) backs up and suddenly disappears underground. (Wikipedia)
The view from the top of the Scenic Point Trail at Mt. Sinopah, Two Medicine Lake and Rising Wolf Mountain. Doesn't look like it from here but the lake is 2 miles long.
"The region was considered sacred ground by several Native American tribes including the Blackfeet and they performed Vision quests here. Aside from Chief Mountain, the Two Medicine area is the most sacred section of the park to the Blackfeet." Wiki
Have a wonderful Monday and week ahead!
An early morning shot of Mt. Sinopah rising nobly above Two Medicine Lake.
The Blackfeet Indians considered the Two Medicine area "The Backbone of the World! They used this portion of what would eventually become Glacier National Park for vision quests and spiritual celebrations.
It is indeed a special area. I agree as this is one of my favorite places to be. I'm overdue for a return....
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
Tried for something unique at the old Two
Medicine. I found that finding foreground was bit tough
here. Luckily there was this super beautiful old piece of
flotsam and close enough to the shore to plant my
camera right in front.
Let me know what you think!
Highlands there in Wyoming with nice late afternoon escaping through the clouds and over the new fallen snow that day.
