Lake Louise

Just a quick Friday afternoon post before the start of the weekend.
Lake Louise is a lake in Alberta, Canada. The glacial lake is located in Banff National Park of which the eastern shore of the lake is dominated by Chateau Lake Louise, one of Canada’s grand railway hotels, a luxury resort hotel built in the early decades of the 20th century by the Canadian Pacific Railway. This hotel is now owned by the Fairmont hotel group.

As you can see on the pictures, the weather wasn’t too great, spoiling the reflections on the lake…

[Ine]: I would like to add something. Just to make it a bit more exciting :) .

A few weeks ago, a girl from Antwerp (who’s living in Canada) was mauled there by a black bear. She was jogging not far from the lake, and she wasn’t carrying bear spray. Lately I’ve read a lot of stories about people being mauled by bears. I think it’s mainly because the bear’s hibernation is over. But since bear stories are a topicality, I’ll try to write something, in the near future, about the things I’ve discovered about bears.

    Grizzly's, cougars, black bears are still being killed by trophy hunters, for the sport... These animals have feelings, family members get shot, they memorize and I belief in them taking revenge for what happened to their loved once. Canadian government still allows this. Generally, these animals are scared of us! Being chased,hunted and skinned for years!!! They are afraid of us! I wouldn't be to worried about it Kris, cities are way more dangerous:)

    Hey Renaat, thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply, things are rather hectic nowadays. The sport hunting is indeed something I cannot and will never understand. In my opinion the only reason it still exists is because of rich people with a lot of influence. Congratulations with your new website, it looks really great and provides a good overview of your superb artwork!
