Photograph Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies

“I have said it once but it bears repeating - you can NOT take photographs that do justice to the natural beauty of the place. It has to be seen to be believed that such a place exists. Lake Louise is often termed as the most photographed place in Canada. And it's not hard to see why. There is a perfect spot on the pier where you stand, and you can see directly opposite you - it's where two mountains meet. Behind it, there's another two mountains meeting. And so on ... the illusion is of several mountains meeting in layers. All of it in front of a glacier in the background. The clouds curve above along the mountains and reflect the colours of the sky and the aqua blue colours of the lake. And then a crimson red canoe slowly drifts in front of you, complimenting the natural colours.”

“We were up early this morning, and at the parking lot by 6:00 a.m. It's only a 15 minute drive from our camping spot, but we were amazed to see how full the parking lot was that early! We gathered up our backpacks and hit the trail as the sun was rising and lighting up the Victoria Glacier on the far end of the lake. We are planning to see the lake from many angles today, and this was our first angle of the day. Denisa got in the middle of that magical setting, just to prove that we were there, and had a view of the lake almost to ourselves.”
