Moraine Lake from the Rockpile
Moraine Lake, at an altitude of 6,181 ft/1885 m in the Canadian Rockies, gets its distinctive
turquoise color from the powdery moraine content ("rock flour") of its glacier-fed waters.
Located in the Banff region of the Canadian Rockies near Lake Louise,
it is surrounded by the towering Wenchemna Peaks.
This view is from the Rockpile, which is part of the moraine that dams the lake.
The scene was captured on a September afternoon on Kodak Royal Gold-25 film
through a Canon L-Series 28-80mm lens with polarizing filter on my Canon EOS-RT.
