Cold Water Lake Photography

DSC08237.jpeg

Our Canadian lakes are famous for their pristine scenery, fresh air, and Cold water! Trust me — it’s cold. Good thing I don’t do a whole lot of swimming in them. I’d much rather be hiking to them, or canoeing and kayaking on them. In the Canadian Rockies, a lot of lakes are glacially fed, which is why they are so cold. During the Summer, they naturally warm slightly, reaching their warmest point by approximately mid to late July. So there is your warning! If you are coming up here to enjoy the lakes and want to participate in water sports like swimming, then you now know when the water is at it’s warmest. Thanks for stopping by.

A view that never gets boring to enjoy. It's interesting, the big rock seems to act as a guardian of the place. The pine tree behind it is always ready to be the most beautiful background no matter what happens. The reflection in the water makes the atmosphere even cooler, the water is also calm.

Greetings over here 😁 well, definitely the water looks like a mirror; crystal clear and reflective. What I didn't know is that thing about the water being warm enough in certain seasons. In Venezuela there is a certain place where the water looks nice but if you get to touch, you'll notice it's a thermal. Nice pictures.

"Glacially fed" refers to water sources, like lakes or rivers, that are primarily supplied by meltwater from glaciers.

Glaciers are massive, persistent bodies of ice that slowly flow downhill under their own weight.

Today I learned something new, thanks to your text!

As usual, awesome photographs!

Very nice and beautiful pictures. You say that the water therein is cold, which means no one else will be able to swim inside the river because of its coldness, and it will be good to swim during the dry season when everywhere will be so hot.Ride on with your post,I am enjoying it to the fullest 👍♥️.

Great to see, not to use for swim 😅 it's already not very hot in Canada, if they are coming from snow becoming liquid they gonna be super cold

You caught some great reflections there, the other day the water was full green, now it's transparent and they are all very nice

The black and white photos look really good, they give a completely different perspective from the color photos by revealing what is under the water.

Yes, the B&W's reveal details that the colours typically do not. Thanks for stopping by.

The water looks so transparent from the views in the first picture, but Torquoise when you take a look from the angle in the last pictures. Great shots you have here.

What a beautiful view! The lakes formed by glaciers are always so beautiful, albeit very cold... That first view just makes me want to get a kayak in there, and be the only one of the lake! lol

Great shots you captured, great work!

Cold, but beautiful..no problem for me though, as I always prefer the hiking, canoeing over swimming anytime.

I feel like hiking to those lakes would be such a cool adventure (even if the water’s too cold for swimming)
