This morning I was up bright & early and after my colleague Layla picked me up we headed down to Vermillion Lakes, just outside Banff to watch the sunrise.
As we pulled up beside the first lake, the sky above Banff turned bright pink and purple. 
An incredible sight with the calm icy water of the lake in the foreground and the magnificent Mount Rundle in the background. A few minutes later orange and yellow were added to the hue and the scene changed dramatically. 
We moved around the lakeshore to get a few different shots of the amazing landscape it was simply breathtaking.
We really do live in Paradise. 
A year or 2 in Canada....
