Photographer's Note
Lake O'Hara is the name of a lake and alpine area on the western side of the Great Divide with the province of Alberta and Banff National Park to the east. The lake and the valley are accessible through a bus service or by a 11 km hike.
The area is known for its beautiful scenery as well as its world class alpine hiking. The number of people who access the area by bus has been limited in order to preserve the sensitive alpine environment. As such, it has become a very popular destination as a result of its exclusivity.
The day we spent in the area started very cloudy but became gorgeous just after lunch time.

Lake O’Hara est le nom d’un lac et d’une rιgion alpine situιe sur le versant ouest de la ligne de partage des eaux. La province de l’Alberta et le parc national de Banff se trouvent ΰ l’est. Le lac et la vallιe sont accessibles grβce ΰ un service de bus ou une marche de 11km.
La region est reconnue pour la beautι de ses paysages ainsi que pour son rιseau de sentiers alpins. Le nombre de personnes pouvant y accιder par bus est limitι afin de prιserver l’environnement alpin trθs dιlicat. En raison de cette forme d’exclusivitι, c’est devenu une destination trθs recherchιe.
La journιe que nous avons passιe dans la rιgion a dιbutι sous les nuages. Ce n’est qu’aprθs le repas de midi que le temps est devenu magnifique.

Hi Chris:
The All-Souls Alpine Route, eh? I wanted to do this one, but it wasn't recommended due to severe avalanche danger. Looks much better here. Looks like you had pretty good weather for this one. I love the lighting and the stormy clouds at the right. The image seems to be slightly tilted to the right--that could be an illusion though.

The clarity of the shot makes me wonder..........how did you get such absolute clarity?
I am just 15 inches away from my monitor and watching this shot with wide and wide and wide eyes.

Hi Chris
Fantastic. Crystal clear landscape. There are three water bodies in the photo; one is absolute blue (cyan) and the other two are greenish. Very interesting. Is it due to different types of soil?
with warm regards
Bala

Hello Chris,
Color of the lake and forest is really beautifully captured. Shadows of the clouds have made this photo more amazing, but someone might prefer that there is no shadow of the cloud on the lake.
Have a nice day, Hisashi
