As I have been looking my archives, I have been able to revisit some great memories. I think the ones that resonate with me the most are the ones that remind me of the tranquility and peace that I felt when I was there. This is particularly helpful through this period of unrest and fear. When I came across this photo of Herbert Lake, I knew that I needed to post it. For me, this lake is one of the most peaceful places that I have shot at. I have been there mostly in the early mornings before sunrise when the waters are calm and the light is great. Even at other times in the day, it is a place that is peaceful. There are usually only a few people there despite its closeness to the Icefields Parkway (mere steps). There are other great lakes in the area that draw crowds like magnets (Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Bow Lake), all of them beautiful but not as peaceful. They are lakes that must be visited on any excursion to Banff. If you want to enjoy some peace and solitude, make sure that Herbert Lake is on your itinerary.
