True Canadians enjoy swimming in the summer in Lake Louise. Just let me refresh, the water temperature in summer here is only 4 degrees per Celsius. Yes, water freezes at 0..

Cottonwood Flats - Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta
2019-07-01
Ancient, disheveled Cottonwood tree in infrared. Images are the same tree from different perspectives.
Images captured with a Canon 5DMII modified camera and a 830nm filter.
In the backlog of processing I've developed this summer, I've finally made a dent in shots from my trip to Banff in July. My wife and I spent a week here. It was so overwhelmingly beautiful. I've been oogling over shots from this place for years, and no picture does this place any justice. We arrived at our campsite in Lake Louise in the middle of the night. The light the next morning revealed incredible views. We drove to Bow Lake for sunrise and had the place all to ourselves. Such an amazing way to start our trip.
Wow! Lots of new friends and followers from yesterday's Reddit craziness. Lots of new photographers to check out. I'll be busy all day.
Taking it way back to earlier this year when I visited Banff, Alberta on tour with Josh Ritter. Only a couple times in my life, during all my traveling, have I been so taken with a place that I obsess over it. Banff is certainly one of those few places. Even in January with sub-zero temperatures. This shot is of the beautiful Fairmont Banff Spring Hotel. A hug castle looking place, built into the mountainside. It looks like something straight out of a Disney movie.
I'm already planning a return visit to Banff. It's drawing me in, I can feel it.

Canoes at beautiful Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
About this photo: The plan for that day was to visit Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park to rent a canoe, but were too late for that on that evening. We went for a nice walk instead and enjoyed the views there. After that we figured we might as well go to Moraine Lake only to find out that the road was closed due to a full parking lot. We continued on to Lake Louise as it was close by. On the way back to our hotel in Field an hour and some later the road to Moraine Lake was still closed!
We went to bed on time that evening and were up fairly early the next day and were going to try and hit the road to be at Moraine Lake before 7am. It was a cloudy day and rain was in the forecast. We arrived at the Moraine Lake road about 6.20am and thankfully the road was still open and we were able to find parking. It is a small parking lot which gets full pretty quickly. We walked to the top of the Rock Pile to get the amazing view you can see on this photo. Sadly enough I wasn't able to capture the feeling you get by standing there and looking at that blue lake surrounded by these majestic mountains. We stayed dry for most of the time, it started to rain a couple hours later when we were on our out. By then the road to Moraine Lake was closed already!

Some information about Moraine Lake and the Canadian Rockies: Moraine Lake is a glacially fed lake in Banff National Park located int he province of Alberta. It is about 14km (8.7mi) outside the Village of Lake Louise and situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks at an elevation of approximately 6,183 feet (1,885 m).
Morain Lake is part of the Canadian Rockies which are located about 800km (500 miles) east of Vancouver on the border of the province of British Columbia and Alberta. There are 7 National Parks that belong to the Canadian Rockies which strectches out over an area of 25,000 square km (15,625 square miles).
These are the National Parks that belong to the Canadian Rocky Mountains: Mount Revelstoke National Park, Glacier National Park, Kootenay National Park and Yoho National Park which are located in British Columbia and there is Banff National Park, Jasper National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park which are located in Alberta. This amazing area is known for its beautiful blue-green lakes surrounded by mountains, glaciers, rivers, waterfalls and a diversity of wildlife. One can enjoy the endless views and there is a great variety on walking/hiking trails for everybody to enjoy.
You might wonder how these lakes have such a colours. Well, here's a short explanation for that: These lakes are can thank their brilliant blue-green colour to the light filtering effect of rock flour (a powdery substance that the glaciers grind off the mountain rocks) in the glacial runoff (meltwater). The rock flour that is suspended in the water filters out much of the light spectrum except for blues and greens leaving this remarkable turquoise blue color.
The rock flour might also leave that milky look to the water. That's why each lake looks different and each lake might look different on the same day. For example, on a calm morning or evening, the lake might look like a mirror and the colours is barely visible. But on other times of the day the lake is blue. It all depends on the weather conditions and how much rock flour is present in the water.
There are days, in which you want to come back, but not to fix or change anything, just to live and feel the same emotions. Reise, Reise...

Alberta, you are something special. Sadly, our 8 day road trip wrapped up yesterday but my mind is overflowing with amazing sights and memories. Although I lived in Alberta when I was a kid, seeing it through a new 'lens' was incredible. Thanks for having us! #explorealberta #stayandwander instagram.com/p/p2fv6TSZ8-/
I still can't believe this place exists. I think back often to the first sunrise I shot in Banff. My wife and I arrived at our campsite in Lake Louise late the night before. When we woke up and started driving North on the Icefields Parkway, we were blown away by the endless rugged mountains. We drove right to the shore of Bow Lake and enjoyed this amazingly long sunrise in solitude.
