Now, some of you may be wondering, Is the water really that color, or is it just a trick of photoshop? It is really that incredible turquoise color, and relates to the fact that the water come from glaciers melting. As can be seen in these photographs, taken from lakes near the Columbia Ice Fields, the water comes straight from the glaciers, and, as such, it contains what is referred to as glacial flour, or glacial silt, which, because of the minerals trapped within the water gives the water its peculiar and beautiful color. For those of us from far away, it was just one more magnificent thing to admire about the Canadian Rockies.
Oh yeah, the colour is real. When I was there in Spring of this this year you could see the turquoise tinge in the thick layers of ice. So beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so ethereal... I wish to go there one day =)

ReplyDeleteShades of blue from the sky to the lake view. I love the way they go together.
ReplyDeleteWould be nice in a book. Or a vid like a slide show. You can use picasa to make slide shows for a widget.
