Into the Wild: Kinney Lake

It might have been a bit of a dull, wet and cloudy day when I took this picture earlier this month, however Kinney Lake in Mount Robson Park was anything but. Fine particles of ground rock (also known as glacier silt or glacier flour ) absorb and scatter light that can give this striking blue colour. My wife and I didn’t see much wildlife as we hiked along but we did spot a couple of mountain goats up on the cliffs at the end of the lake. /LEON LORENZ
