Bridge Reflections - Project 365 - Day 71 of 365


"Bridge Reflections"

Day 71 of 365

It was a really nice, warm, spring day today but nice weather equals too many people in my favourite park, and too many people equals no wildlife...so once again my photo for today is a reflection in the ever growing puddles. This reflection is of the high level bridge in Indian Battle Park in Lethbridge, Alberta.

Snow at Mirror Lake - Photo of the Day - March 9th, 2011

"Snow at Mirror Lake"

A photo of Mirror Lake, above Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, taken on a nice crisp spring day. Mirror Lake is accessible from the Lake Agnes Trail in Lake Louise.

As you walk along the shoreline of Lake Louise, the trail to Lake Agnes branches right just beyond the hotel, then climbs steadily through dense subalpine forest. After 1.7 kilometres (1.1 miles), the first switchback marks a break in the trees where you have a clear view down to the pale turquoise water of Lake Louise. Another one kilometre (0.6 miles) of forest-enclosed climbing brings you to Mirror Lake, a tiny lake with dark, layered cliffs of the Big Beehive looming above. The two trails leading off in opposite directions from Mirror Lake both converge at Lake Agnes.
