retreat

Banff NP, Alberta

Hector Lake gets its colour from 'rock flour' carried down by glacial meltwater...alas, the glacier above is, like so many others, in serious retreat, likely dooming the lake's very existence

Marvelous towering rock mountains. Sad about the glacier.

Those mountains are so impressive and the lake colour contrasts beautifully. It would be interesting to come back 20 years from now ! V

It is sad how quickly things are changing and there isn’t the will to fix it. This is really beautiful and I am glad you captured it. V

What an impressive view. Like the color of the lake and the cloud and snow covered mountains in the background.

The color of the water and the gray in the mountains makes for a beautiful combination. So nicely composed and such a pretty area. V

The grand scale of this landscape is amazing. If I believed in praying (I do not) I'd pray for the future of this lake.

What a beautifully colored lake, shown so well in your shot. Frightening to think what might happen to it and others in the same situation.
