PHOTO: Day at Lake Louise

"Day at Lake Lousie." HDR photo. July 2014

Two of my friends and I headed into Canada to Banff National Park. When we got to Lake Louise, I was in love. No wonder so many people come up to visit. Its beauty is truly breathtaking.

PHOTO: Ink Pots at Banff

"Stormy Day at Ink Pots"—HDR photo, Banff National Park, 2014

It took my friends and I a couple of hours to hike to the Ink Pots in Banff National Park. But they were well worth the trouble. The ink pots are seven mineral springs bubbling to the surface in an open meadow. What makes them fascinating is the color of the water, slightly green to turquoise. This HDR photo shows the unique color quite well. I love how this photo turned out.
