Herbert Lake! Beauty shot. That’s the lake Louise group in the background too.

That's the one! (Thanks for the reminder. I genuinely couldn't remember exactly which lake.)

I can feel the stillness.

Whole time I was there, I could not get over how smooth the water was. Just no ripples at all.

Driven that route before. Would love to visit there again.

Yeah, it was on my bucket list before the trip. Now it's back on my bucket list!

Man that's a beautiful photo. Love the framing and the composition. Banff is just absolutely beautiful - would love to visit someday. Great photo man.

It's well worth it!

I thought this was the shining opening scene for a second

Aletayr OP t1_jawk0bw wrote on March 4, 2023 at 4:59 PM

Hadn't thought about that, but I kinda see it!

I was lucky enough to spend a few years working out there.

Oh man, that sounds awesome!

That water is incredibly still, beautiful shot!

Aletayr OP t1_jaw1gx1 wrote on March 4, 2023 at 2:49 PM

It was so still. I honestly couldn't get over it

Not that it matters a lot, but was this really October? There’s a distinct lack of snow and ice on those mountains.

Aletayr OP t1_jawjtmc wrote on March 4, 2023 at 4:58 PM

It was! Around the 10th I believe. Highs around 60F and lows a bit below freezing.
