Moraine Lake

When I first saw pictures of Moraine Lake I was drawn to its striking blue waters, I felt an undeniable pull to experience it in person. In 2021 my dreams came to fruition when we embarked on a lengthy road trip from SLC to Banff. We arrived in the park in a moment near the end of COVID where only US citizens could enter Canada, giving us a peaceful visit without the usual crowds. As I captured the lake on film, its vibrant blue color exceeded my expectations. Arriving just before sunset, we hastily embarked on a hike to catch the fading light, reaching viewpoints that offered stunning panoramas of the surrounding landscape. Moraine Lake, bathed in the warm glow of twilight, revealed its natural beauty in a truly unforgettable moment. [Shot on Portra 400 taken with a Mamiya 645 + with a Canon 5D Mark II]
