Lake Agnes in Winter I

Wanted to see Lake Agnes the waterfall and the view in winter-mode so one one of those glorious sunny winter days on which I had of I went with my snowshoes to do the hike.
I took pictures of this setting a thousand times and I continue to do so cause it is breathtaking and heart stopping beautiful.

My goal for the day. The foot of the Big Bee Hive where the Tea house is located.


My favourite sculpture - slowly melting and more beautiful then ever.


Wow.


Up through the trees to the Lake.


To document the fluffiness of the snow.



Looking behind me.


The trees with sugar icing. :)


Mt Fairview on the other side of frozen and snowed Lake Louise.


A root covered in snow.

Lake Agnes in Winter II

Being at Mirror Lake 2/3 of the way. Big bee Hive towering over the scene.

View over the valley with the Rockys in the back.

My motivation for the hike.


Up at Lake Agnes. Oh this roughness.


Back home on the parking lot. Intense beautiful winter sun.


Strips in the sky.


Hm.


View from the porch - oh well yeah some trees are in the way. ;)



Low clouds covering the Mountains up.


What a weird and special sight.
