In
winter most lakes
in Banff National Park are frozen. In the perspective of photography
the white
lake surface is uninteresting. Nonetheless, a few lakes still have open
water,
such as Two Jack Lake and Vermillion Lake. Walking on these frozen
lakes could
be dangerous. Some layer looks solid but it might be very thin. While
taking
pictures at Vermillion Lake, I stepped in a thin layer and my left side
of the
body fell into the water. Fortunately another photographer grabbed my
right
hand, the one holding the camera, and pulled me out. The camera was
intact and
I continued the photography adventure with wet clothing.
