When in Banff one should enjoy the easily accessible Bow Falls. Located below the Banff Springs Hotel. While it doesn't drop far (30 ft) it does it over a long rumbling length. See below for more of the flow.

Deep in County Durham, overlooking the undulating hills of Cumbria and North Yorkshire sits a large and imposing French chateau. With its pale, golden stone and deep lead roof it looks as if it has been lifted by a giant hand from the Tuileries in Paris and set down in an alien landscape. It is the result of a love story and a passion for collecting that bordered on obsession.
The man who gave his name to the treasure house within the distinctively French exterior is John Bowes, a wealthy Durham landowner, horse breeder and coal magnate who never threw off the taint of his illegitimacy. In 1848 he moved to Paris where he bought a theatre and met the woman who was to be the love of his life, an actress called Josephine Chevalier. Bowes rescued her from a life treading the boards, which is perhaps just as well; one waspish critic described her as having, ‘an impossible voice, impossible figure and ... sings down her nose.”
She shared with Bowes his love of fine art and collecting; together they dreamt up the idea of creating a museum at Barnard Castle in his native Teesdale. And that is what makes the place so unusual. It’s not a former stately home that has been adapted to display the possessions of an aristocratic family no longer able to afford the inheritance tax. It is purpose built to house a collection that was amassed with one idea in mind: to create a place where the local people of County Durham could come to marvel at some of the world’s finest treasures.
The previous image was taken by the parking lot strip. After a few shots I changed lens and walked down to the shore to take some wide angle images.
During our stay in Banff, we went by this lake several times however, only once we were able to see the breathtaking reflection of the mountains, because we came at the right time, when the water was still and clear.
Thank you for your comments,
Gemma

This is looking up at the Bow in downtown Calgary. I love symmetry and this one worked out well. The Bow is a 158,000-square-metre (1.7 million sq ft) office building for the headquarters of Encana Corporation and Cenovus Energy, in downtown Calgary, Alberta. The building is currently the tallest office tower in Calgary, and tallest in Canada outside Toronto.

This is part of a card I made for a wedding. The bow is very small, less than 1/2 cm on the bride heart. The dickie bow I cut from card for the groom.
Early morning at Bow Lake in Banff National Park Alberta.
It's been a year since this trip, but it feels like we were just there.
Bow falls is in Banff National Park. The spring thaw has not quite started yet so the water level is quite low. Usually the water level is quite high making a more dramatic falls. I took this in HDR to try and capture more of the shaded canyon walls on the left side.

We took an evening visit to Bow Lake in the hope of getting a nice sunset. Sadly it wasn't to be but I had a chance to play with long exposures for the first time and I like the effect it creates. My thanks to Justin Minns - www.flickr.com/photos/justinminns/ our tutor for the course for his help, guidance and enthusiasm to impart knowledge.
Constructive criticism is always welcome.
We walked from Findochty to Portknockie when we were on holiday in Scotland a few weeks back .....while we were at Portknockie we just had to go round to Bow Fiddle Rock ......a wonderful location
Last year in the Rockies, there were a few days that people could observe beautiful aurora borealis, and bow lake is definitely a great place to be.
From earlier this summer my Welsh Terrier Fudge standing proud with Dickie bow and ball on Borth beach in Wales!
The rainbow was starting to quickly fade as I took this exposure there looking down Middle River towards the end of Wilson Point. With the extra low tide the sea grass there in the river can be seen at the water's surface in this extended exposure too. Making for some interesting details there in the water foreground.

A look at Portal Peak and Mount Thompson reflecting off the surface of Bow Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. The Bow Glacier, which is part of the Wapta Icefield and is the source of Bow Lake's water, can be seen.
Mt. Ishbel, just one of the many impressive peaks of the Sawback Range, rises majestically above Hilldale Meadow as seen from the Bow Valley Parkway on a wonderful autumn day.
Thanks for the look!
A closer view of this iconic falls basically in Banff township as it rumbles 30 feet over a low-gradient pitch of channeled bedrock.
Different perspectives in comments.
The Bow river begins 60 miles upstream as meltwater from the Bow Glacier, flowing south through Banff en route to the prairies and Hudson Bay far beyond.
The 1953 Marilyn Monroe film River of No Return featured the falls (the actual River of No Return is the Salmon river in Idaho).
Have a wonderful Friday and week ahead.
