Vermilion Lakes III
Directions
Vermilion Lakes is a short 5 minute drive NW of Banff. Take Mount Norquay Rd from downtown towards Highway 1. Then turn left at Vermilion Lakes Drive.
Story
November is one of my favorite times of year to take photos, as the lakes have just begun to freeze and there is plenty of foreground interest.
This is the sunrise from the 3rd Vermilion Lake at the end of Vermilion Lakes Drive.
This is the sunset from the second lake, with Rundle in the distance.
spectacular photos….the colors in the reflections are gorgeous
amazing, as always
Great shots. Love the colours.
beautiful – love the softness and details in the first picture and I like the reflection in the second one. Crazy to think you’ll be freezing your butt just as we starting getting our first 30C days of summer!
Lovely Patrick
Beautiful photography… You should make a coffee table book or calendar, but I’m sure you’re probably busy with selling the prints. They are truly stunning… you have an amazing gift!
These colors are amazing! Great composition!
Breathtaking!
Love that first one, Patrick. Serenity.
I often don;t comment … I mean how many different ways can I say “stunning” (or some version of that). In case you never tire of hearing it: your work is beautiful!
The light, the composition, the sweeping vistas–truly lovely.
They’re gorgeous shots, and I have to add that it’s refreshing to see natural looking colors – no exagerated, contrasty, grab-your-attention processing here. Thanks for showing us an extraordinary place only a few minutes from a city – cool!
Stunners, the pair. Oh, the reflections in the first one.
Stunning! Every time I am just agog with how impressive your photography is the scenes! You are more into fall/winter than we are! We have spring time temperatures in Ohio!
Breathtaking
Our world is BEAUTIFUL, dispite it’s reputation, this is what you see.
that view with Rundle in the background is one of my favorites in Banff, but I’ve not seen it in the winter. Your photos are very beautiful..
Beautiful photographs as always
Thank you for sharing them.

Beautiful photos!
You take better photo’s than anybody I’ve ever seen. Can I post one on my site? I will put a link to your page on the photo.
These are incredible – surreal x
Love the light on the mountain tops. I’m a sucker for that curve of water. Oh, and brrrr!
Stunningly beautiful!

Too beautiful!
I can’t stand the cold weather, but it would be worth it to see these wonderful places. I was hoping to snap some fall pics this weekend and wasn’t able to get it done.
Wow, incredible collection! Love the colours and makes me want to go for a hiking trip
So beautiful!
Oh wow… so beautifully composed!
amazing. I like swinging by your blog so much just for photos like these.
Incredible color!
We are all so lucky to have a photographer like you, who is willing to get out so early, in the cold, to show us these beautiful scenes! Thank you!!
Not bad at all. Well… you know… it´s fantastic.
Thanks for sharing the Moment!
gives me chills and warmth at the same time

Beautiful shots! You have such amazing landscapes over there.
Great photos. Interested to know how long you spend out there on your shoots? do you camp for a few weeks, or just in and out in a day?
I’ll spend the weekend in Canmore, and drive to locations in the morning and at sunset. I will spend anywhere between 1 hour and 2 hours shooting at each location and time. Depending on conditions I will do day hikes, I am hoping to do some overnight winter camping in some more remote locations this year though.
Patrick, beautiful photos. I’m especially drawn to the wisps of frozen branches in the foreground of the first photo… so graceful and sad against the haunting mixture of blue and pink reflected in the water.
Can fill the chill and hear the silence. Stunning.
Beautiful! and wow – you do get around!

In the first photograph…I see a construct of chill and warmth that only nature could devise..both breathtakingly beautiful…
Spectacular photos! I can’t imagine standing before this scene – in person! I can almost hear the quiet . . .
Marvelous !!!

This is my blog post about what I’m looking for in a camera if you want to stop by: http://ashleynicolebooks.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/the-perfect-shot/
Breathtaking!!!
Stunning! I love looking at all your beautiful photos and they make me realise how much there is to see
i could help it .. i took the second picture as desktop wallpaper on my pc … all rights are reserved to you
)))))))
very clever work
Breathtaking! This is why I love nature photography.
I love how the ice is just forming (especially in the first photo), These are beautiful
Just beautiful.
Very serene. The photo takes me there!
This is beautiful
WOW ! That’s all I can seem to say when I see your work – WOW!!
Wow…those look fantastic. I view them as almost a paradox: they show nature’s serenity and calm, but they below the surface they represent a world of chaos. The one I love most is the second one, where a stream silently snakes its ways through the frozen surroundings. It’s serene, and gives one a sense of such awe. I love it.
these are awesome- great composition!
Amazingly beautiful photography:) We hiked Vermillion lakes on our honeymoon! Such a magical place, thanks for sharing.
AAh, the Vermillion Lakes. I recall taking a canoe out on the lake, the worry the lakes were disappearing. The erosion of time. And the Mighty Rundle, scrambling along the backside. These are good memory prompts Patrick. Your photographs are wonderfilled.
Patrick,
Your work is truly stunning. Wish I could go to some of these places, even despite the cold.
Might I ask how you found my blog?
Thanks for liking my posts — I wasn’t aware that anyone but family and friends kept track. I just write to write.
Be well,
Lauren
