Chasing the Sun

To follow my post from last week here is another image I made just down the road in Banff National Park. A short hike in from Highway 93 in Alberta, Canada, is Glacier Lake. We camped here one night, on the shore of this frigid lake, in the fresh spring air of May. The skies were clear, the sun was shining, the icy surface had melted and the snows higher up were now before us. It didn't stop us however from shedding our clothes and skinny dipping in the icy waters, plunging into that chest clenching cold, and freezing our buns off! Come sunset we were greeted by these beautiful colors and calm waters. The serenity was magical and one I'll never forget.
