This is another picture of our visit to Maligne Lake.
I took it from another angle because I liked the vegetation here. It was very cloudy but the sun was trying to get back out again, as the left side of the picture shows.

From Wikipedia:

Maligne Lake is a popular destination in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. The lake is fed entirely by glacial water, and is claimed locally as the second-largest such lake in the world, after Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia.

Maligne Lake is approximately 22.5 km long and between 100 and 120 m in depth. It sits at approximately 1,670 m asl. It boasts a resident self sustaining population of rainbow trout and brook trout. The largest rainbow trout in Alberta was caught in this lake (20 lbs, 4 oz.) by means of sportfishing. The record fish was mounted and is currently owned by Currie's Guiding and Tackle, Jasper, Alberta, Canada. The third largest brook trout in the world was also sportfished from this lake as well and is owned by David Robson of Hinton, Alberta, Canada.

The lake was discovered by Mary Schaffer, a female explorer of the region and local icon, after Samson Beaver, a local native, sketched a rough map for her.

Wildlife is surprisingly abundant along this high altitude oligotrophic lake. Grizzly bear, black bear, mule deer, caribou, wolves, moose, and mountain sheep are some of the larger mammals that frequent the lake area during the summer season. Bald eagles and osprey also frequent the area and live off the fish populations.

Hoi Nel,
Wat een mooi sfeer foto. Ondanks de iets overbelichte lucht is de rest van de foto perfect belicht. Vooral het detail in de wolken is perfect. Erg mooie kleuren, en die bergen zijn echt prachtig.
Groeten,
Niek

Buena presentación y detalles.

Hello Nel,
Dramatic sky, with difficult light conditgions!
Image is well composed, and the special atmosphere is well captured...

Howdy Nel,
