Snow-capped mountains with a partly cloudy sky and a bright blue alpine lake at the base surrounded by forest.

Lake Louise, one of the turquoise gems of the Canadian Rockies, is backdropped by Fairweather Mountain and Mount Aberdeen in this image. This photo was taken from the Little Beehive, a moderate hike that leaves from the shores of beautiful Lake Louise. I shot this scene early in the summer season, hence the significant snowpack remaining on the mountains. The lake color is a beautiful aquamarine color. Later in the summer, as the glaciers above the lake melt at a faster rate, the lake becomes a brighter, milkier shade of blue.
