Hi Sweet SSKiki! I am so happy that you are the first one here. And now Ron should be along any time now I hope! Lol...How I wish we could all stand here together in person. Each BPer and Visitor that comes along to enjoy viewing these images. OKAY. LET'S PRETEND. Can you feel the sun and the breeze? It's warm and the air is more fresh than almost anywhere else on the earth. And thank you so much for all you said! Night night!

Thanks for explaining what causes the extraordinary blue color of the lake, Pom. Both views are spectacular!! I hope you drew (at LEAST)four or five dozen breaths of the mountain air for those of us surrounded by smog, or duststorms, or whatever else "civilization" has done to the land and atmosphere.

Beautiful. Like Glacial runoff streams in Alaska that are silt heavy I'm guessing there are NO FISH in the lake. Trust us the HIKE WAS WORTH THE RESULTING CAPTURE. Jack

This is more beautiful than I remembered it Laura and what a vacation you had to enjoy all these emerald green, turquoise or whatever color this is. It is just overwhelming. The last time we were there, I was still shooting using film. Gotta go back and explore with digital. Fabulous work here Laura, thanks for sharing!

I had a feeling this one would catch your eye, Chris! The lake is really this color, too! Can you believe it? It's caused from "mineral dust" in the glacier water from the soil! This is a very famous spot and a very tough (paved) hike straight up the Mtn top but worth it. So glad you saw this one! YES! PEYTO LAKE is a MUST! And with your expert shooting you can come here and do it even more justice than I did. Please go to Kirsten Kjaer's gallery and see the one she shot when she came to visit from Denmark. It's the most beautiful image of Petyo I have ever seen! Her gallery link is on this thread. -Laura :)
