Peyto Lake in Banff National Park

Peyto Lake is a lake fed by a glacier the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada. It gets its color from the mineral sediments floating in the water and reflecting back largely the blue spectrum of light. It's one of those places where you don't necessarily have to wait for the golden hour to get a decent image.

Oh yeah, lots of hiking. This viewpoint fairly short. You'd have to go to other trails in the interior of the Park.

Nice picture. I always learned not to use a polarized filter in combination with a to wide focal point, can cause some weird stuff with colors, especially in the skies with the blues as in going from quite dark in one end of the picture to quite bright in the other end. But it certainly didn't hurt this photo. Nice job. Feel free to check out my photos!
