Description
Recently visiting the Canadian Rockies, I made my way to Moraine Lake. The lakes around here are famous for their crystal clear water with a turquoise hue from the minerals flowing down from the mountains. For this shot, I decided to pursue a B&W image even though there was a lot of color. Sometimes the B&W tones really pop and I was very happy this was no exception. Although a 10 mile drive from Lake Louise, parking is virtually impossible. I waited until dusk in hopes of getting a decent sunset but the raging fires across Canada kept the sky pretty hazing most of the week. This night was the only night the haze wasn't a factor. It was mostly cloudy with an occasional ray of sunshine popping through the clouds. I waited while I could get a better sky but this is all I was rewarded with. There was a quick moment of direct sunlight through the clouds so I snapped away and this is the result.
