The beautiful glacial waters of Peyto Lake on Highway 93 in the Alberta Rockies.
Emerging from the Sulphur Mountain hot springs, this stream is one of the many natural springs feeding Vermillion Lakes in Banff National Park.
Few times in my life have I ever witnessed a sunrise as colourful as it was on this particular morning. I remember frantically driving down the highway as the sky lit up. Thankfully I was near an area I had scouted a few weeks prior so I pulled over and raced down to the river's edge. Unfortunately I just couldn't make the composition work from the riverbank. With only a few minutes left before the sunrise would be over, I made a quick call to get really wet. To get this shot I had to wade out into the water almost to my waist in a heavy current. I had to fight to keep my tripod locked onto the bottom of the river while not get swept away myself. As I look back, I am thankful I got the shot but oh my, that was one cold morning.
