Thank you Jim. The reflections in the water that day were amazing. I only had about twenty minutes around the lake while my wife was taking a quick dip in the Banff Hot Springs pool.

The Rocky Mountains and the Nathional Parks are well worth a visit.  I love it when the snow is on the mountain peaks.

Thank you Trafford.
