Silence before the storm at Moraine Lake

The famous and gorgeous Moraine Lake in Banff National Park. One of the most visited places in the Canadian Rockies. If you arrive early enough you'll get a chance to take a photo like this. Moments after the photo was taken, the tour buses started coming in and the place was packed with people.
