Moraine Lake, Banff National Park

#263 – Moments of Stillness

Painting by @jeffdillonfineart

Original Size: 30″ x 40″, Horizontal, Ratio: 3:4, Completed August 2023

This painting captures the essence of Moraine Lake in the tranquil afternoon light of Banff National Park. Light wisps of clouds gently skip along the horizon, casting a soft, diffused glow over the landscape. Towering mountains stand as guardians, casting their imposing shadows upon the foreground, veiling the pristine lake in an enchanting darkness. Moraine Lake, nestled outside the hamlet of Lake Louise, Alberta, emerges from its glacial slumber. It reveals its true beauty only in the middle to late June, when its waters finally reach their peak. At this moment, the lake mirrors the sky, displaying a mesmerizing shade of azure blue. This unique hue is a gift from the surrounding glaciers, as continuously deposited sediment refracts the light, creating a spectacle that leaves all in awe.

Location: Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 Tips: - You can no longer drive directly to the lake. You can only see the lake with a shuttle and timed entry ticket. -Book ahead through an approved operator such as Parks Canada or public transit. -Book tickets in advance so you get the time slot you want.
