	Mount Rundle is a favourite of nature landscape photographers. These people are looking for the reflection onto the lake's surface....	... but they don't know that in a lake not far from there the water is perfectly still!
	These are the "Vermillion Lakes".They are situated near the tonw of Banff.	A sudden september snowfall dramatically changed the scenery in the same day the other pics were taken !
	The famous Lake Louise shortly after the snowfall.	Canoeists paddle on Lake Louise. Look at the stunning water color (no Photoshop was used !!!)
Curiosity: Lake Louise waters, charachterised by its astonishingly blue color, are one of the most widely photographed spots of Canada. This color comes from a prolonged contact with limestone (rock containing calcium). Banff, Yoho and Kootenay parks are cut by the Trans-Canada HighWay, the most important highway connecting the two ocean edges of Canada. Long before the highway was built, by the '20s railroad had already reached the park area. The true miracle was accomplished during the World War II, when the 2400 km (1400 miles) of Alaska Highway were built in 9 months only because of fear of a Russian invasion in Alaska.
	A view of Lake Louise taken from a nearby hiking trail.	The park valley shows off its unspoiled charachter. But you can still spot the Highway and railroad line crossing the woods.
	Although the park is crossed by the Trans-Canada highway, traffic is light, as you can see from the picture.	Cascade Amphitheatre. If you're not willing to hike and camp... there's plenty of natural beauties easily accessible by car!
	Emerald Lake. The origins of its name are quite obvious!	A torrent near Lake Louise.
