Photo Of The Day: Lake Louise

by Chris Owen on

This Photo of the Day comes from Gadling Flickr pool member James Wheeler who captured this image taken at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada, with a Nikon D-5000.

James captions the image:

“This must be one of the most photographed places in Canada. I didn’t get great weather for photos because it was cloudy when I was there but still an impressive place.”

Upload your best shots to the Gadling Group Pool on Flickr. Several times a week we choose our favorite images from the pool as Photos of the Day.

Tips for getting featured: in your Flickr account, check “Privacy and Permissions,” and check “yes” on “Allow others to share your stuff.” Adding information about your image does not hurt your chances either.

Where on Earth Week 21: Bow Lake, Alberta

by Martha Edwards on


I wasn’t sure if this picture had enough clues for anyone to get it, but you guys have definitely impressed me. Congratulation to Jim, who successfully guessed that this is a picture of Bow Lake, Alberta. I’ve visited this gorgeous spot several times in my life — it’s located along the picturesque Icefields Parkway, connecting Jasper to Lake Louise. If you’re planning a visit to the Rockies, I highly recommend at least a photo-stop at Bow Lake, and if you have time, stay over at Num-Ti-Jah Lodge, a charmingly rustic inn on the shores of this emerald lake.

By the way, this may have been taken in June, but it’s not always this snowy and miserable.When the sun’s out, you can see that the lake is the most amazing shade of green.
