Moraine Lake by jazzbeaunola

Here's a vertical view of the turquoise jewel Moraine Lake. This aspect may be gained by a short hike from the main parking area. Best viewed on black, of course, and thanks for your kind visit! via 500px http://ift.tt/ZXek11

Lake Louise Glow by miketlim

Driving down to Lake Louise from Banff today. Lake Louise is definitely one of my top 3 favourite places to visit in Banff National Park. Hoping for better light tomorrow than I experienced today at sunrise. It was completely overcast in Banff but as they say, tomorrow is a new day. Early morning sun hits the peaks and glacier surrounding Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada. via 500px http://ift.tt/1mFqnKb

Moraine Lake Sunset by miketlim

Keeping with the recent theme.....am on my way to visit Moraine Lake today. Here's another shot from last year. Weather report is looking good for today so I'm definitely excited for some "Moraine Magic". It took a 2nd visit to Moraine to get the glow I wanted in the mountains and tree-line surrounding the lake but I loved the results. Moraine's distinct shade of blue is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis by the glaciers surrounding it. This photo was manually blended using Photoshop CC from 3 different bracketed exposures. via 500px http://ift.tt/1sEKqLb
