Photo Getting closer to the gap by Jim Griffin

Lake O'hara, Yoho National Park....We've now been hiking upward for almost 2 hours and the terrain is getting steeper as we make it toward the gap. We are well above tree line and the views just continue to get even more outstanding as we gain elevation. We are now within about 15 minutes of our destination for the first leg of this hike which is Wiwaxy Gap. This leg of our hike showing the starting point and Wiwaxy gap will be seen in the variant. Not much farther now and we'll take a much needed rest at the gap. As one can tell from the blue color of the water, the lake is fed by glacial meltwater.

it could be a grate photo... sorry but it's to bad montage... but any way ++ can U show us an original?

Not sure by what you mean montage. Perhaps you mean color palette? If so, keep in mind that the lake is this blue color due to it being fed by glacial meltdown. Also, keep in mind that you get this deep blue sky at high altitude.
