Picture 1 The large photo is of Lake Moraine in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, about 14 kilometres from Lake Louise. Like Lake Louise, Lake Moraine is fed by glaciers and gets its unique blue colour from rock flour. The mountains behind the lake are in the Valley of Ten Peaks, and they are famous throughout Canada because for many years they were on the Canadian $20 bill. Though the lake can only be reached by hiking trail, it is one of the most photographed places in Canada.
