On a trip to the Canadian Rockies in 1991 with a
friend the sheer beauty of the mountains, glaciers, forests, lakes and
waterfalls stunned me.
Now, more than 20 years later I travelled to Banff
and Jasper with my parents and once again, the sheer beauty of the
Canadian Rockies astonished me.

Medicine Lake - a lake that isn't a lake. During the summer, the lake is filled with glacial melt water which slowly disappears underground into a complex cave system. The water reappears further down in Maligne Canyon.
