| Lake Louise, Banff National Park. This sunrise view of Lake Louise ranks high on the list of Earth's most magnificent visual spectacles. On mornings like this, as slack-jawed groups of tourists gaze across the reflective waters of this glacial lake, a hushed silence envelopes everyone as few can find the words to describe the scene before them as the first rays of light turn the icy slopes of 11,362-foot Mount Victoria a rosy magenta. As the centerpiece of Banff National Park, Lake Louise draws crowds from the world over. Even for those of us fortunate enough to have spent a lifetime wandering through some of the most beautiful places on this planet, a scene like this can still bring tears to the eyes. All photos in these galleries may be ordered as fine art framed prints or for stock photography usage. |
