Peyto Lake, Alberta, Canada


     What is it about water that makes us take out the camera? Is it the reflection or maybe the color? Almost every body of water has a different color. The Gulf of Mexico is really the same water as the Pacific Ocean off of California, but they look very different. Peyto Lake in Canada is water with glacier dust held in suspension. But, so is Lake Louise or Lake Moraine and they all are different.
     The photo above was taken in the summer and those are glaciers that are white. The movement of the glaciers make a "U" shaped area whereas a stream cuts a "V". The slide areas at the bottom of the cliffs are what is left of the glacier that came through.
