Lake Louise was our destination today. I have been wanting to get up to this spot since we moved here - Pete had the chance to come up and stay here for some meetings back in September. In the summer the glacier water is aqua blue. In the winter, as you can see from the pictures, it is transformed into a dazzling white landscape. This amazingly beautiful place is only about a 2 hour drive from our house. We traversed up the mountain in negative degree weather, navigated icy, snowy roads, and endured one screaming child (part of the way) - but it was way worth it!
Once we arrived, we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the famous Hotel Fairmont, and we got to admire the beautiful landscape from inside.
We then went outside for a few minutes to take in the view - the pictures really don't do it justice - unbelievable white and blue colors.
On the way home the moon was unbelievably bright and crisp - especially against the white mountains. It was hard to capture on film - especially while driving - this is the best shot I could get.
