Moraine Lake, in Banff National Park, Alberta Canada. I've been here a couple of times and it's the prettiest lake I've seen.

  Two comments, so far, and two Fav's! Not bad! :D Ken, I have never seen the Valley of the Ten Peaks look more beautiful than this. You know, it's really a tough lake at times. Moraine often has cloudy sky that blow out the light and it's hard to level, (for me at least!), but when you get it just right, it's magic!

You have magic here! You were also a mountain climber to get to this spot. I know. I have survived that "rock climb" myself! Lol...Did you have a frozen beard by the time you got back down the hill?? :D HeeHee...

Once again you have done Canada proud!

  You are (for me) at the top of the tall pile of great landscape photographers, Ken. If your heart says this is the most beautiful lake, your PHOTO is your heart on your sleeve.
