Moraine Lake in the rain
This was taken on 9 September 2012, when I went with friends from England to the Banff area, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake (seen in the image above). We had some sunshine at the beginning of our trip, but it poured with rain for the rest of the day. Took a few photos, anyway, and some seem to have come out reasonably, despite the weather and very low cloud cover. Surprisingly, the colour of the lake still looked turquoise, which is part of the magic of this very popular destination. Had a great day, though, thanks to Linda and Tony! I don't usually take people in my photos, but wasn't going to wait any longer in pouring rain - and I always love a red jacket.
"Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in Banff National Park, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 6,183 feet (1,885 m). The lake has a surface area of .5 square kilometres (0.19 sq mi).
The lake, being glacially fed, does not reach its crest until mid to late June. When it is full, it reflects a distinct shade of blue. The color is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis." From Wikipedia.
