Canoeing Lake Louise


Steven and Ben on Lake Louise


There is really no need for words here, except to say that this is not a doctored picture.  The water is really that color.  Lake Louise is a deep cold lake at the base of a glacier.  In spring, the water is a brilliant blue, but a dark blue.  By midsummer, the glacier has deposited "rock flour" into the lake, and the lake has changed color again, to a brilliant turquoise.
