Morraine Lake/Banff

If you have not been to the Banff area of Alberta, Canada, please make the effort to go. I did not realize there was such a beautiful place on earth and it isn't just this lake. Beauty is everywhere. The water is glacier water and is really this color, and in some areas it's a pale green or a more intense blue. It's impossible to take a photograph of this lake without getting evergreen trees in the foreground, but every time I started to put in the trees my husband would say, "Please don't put anything in the foreground." It's also impossible to get all of the peaks at Morraine Lake in the same photograph though I did try.
