Lake Louise is a mountain lake in Banff National Park with its blue-green water set against the stark backdrop of Victoria Glacier. The actual location of the lake is in the hamlet of Lake Louise about a half hour north of the town of Banff. Chateau Lake Louise, a resort hotel, borders one end of the lake. The lake is one of the most beloved and photographed scenes in the Canadian Rockies.
This particular morning, I gathered my camera and tripod up and walked to the lake well before dawn. There were only a few people up at this hour, mostly other photographers. The light was phenomenal and the reflections of the mountains contrasting with the bright red boats caught my eye. One of my favorite places.
