Hendie 139 Posted August 25, 2004 nooooo, but you are forgiven for that mistake. Many refer to it as Lake Louise without the chateau. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CPU 0 Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) CANADA LAKE # 2 LAKE MINNEWANKA, BANFF NATIONAL PARK, AB Apparently there is an old mining town submerged in this Lake, and the water is crystal clear. Edited September 4, 2004 by Hendie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hendie 139 Posted August 26, 2004 #2 must be Lake Minnewanka just outside Banff in the Rockies ...Lake Minnewanka is the largest body of water in Banff National Park and is the only hydroelectric reservoir in a Canadian national park. Dams were built and the lake level was raised 25 m and this lengthened the lake by 8 km inundating large tracts of meadow and forest. The reservoir submerged a reach of the Cascade River and the village of Minnewanka Landing. Scuba divers often explore the ruins. Lake Minnewanka is the only lake on which gas-powered motor boats may be launched in Banff National Park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolla 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Pragtige mere Hendie. Baie dankie vir die mooi foto's. Die maklikste ene is sekerlik # 3 = Lake Louise. Ons was n week gelede weer daar en ek was geskok om te sien in watter swak toestand die eens mooie tuine om die Chateau nou hierdie tyd van die jaar met so baie toeriste daar, is. Plek plek groei die kweek net so hoog soos die enkele blommetjies wat probeer blom. Selfs die gras daar is lanklaas gesny met onkruid tussen in. Dis so n wereldberoemde meer en die hotel is wereldklas, ek kan nie dink wat die somer daar fout gegaan het nie. Die parkeerterreine laas Vrydag toe ons daar was, was so vol, ons moes wag vir n parkeerplek, ek het Lake Louise nog nooit so besig gesien nie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loerie 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Is #7 dalk Emerald Lake?Hendie, hoewel ek nog nooit by # 10 was nie, sal ek dit herken nav die foto wat jy reeds hier geplaas het. Die derde foto (manne in Oom Schalk se kano) is vir my een van die mooiste foto's op hierdie forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hendie 139 Posted September 4, 2004 In die kol .... Kolla! en ja, Loerie, dit ís Emerald Lake. Jy't noggie #10 se naam gegee nie, so hy wag nog.Ek sit sommer dit name van die mere by die oorspronklike foto soos ons hulle name kry. Dan kan julle sommer maklik sien watter het nognie naam nie.Dit mag dalk interessant wees vir dié wat nognie weet juis wáárom die mere in die Rockies so 'n pragtige smaraggroen kleur is nie. Wel, soos wat die gletsers smelt, los daar klein partikels van die verpoeierde rots onder die gletsers (allerweë bekend as rotsmeel) in die water op. Hierdie rotsmeel maak die water troebel, maar pragtig van kleur. En glo my vry, daai fotos is nie gedokter nie, dit lyk régtig so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry 52 Posted September 6, 2004 Hendie!My probleem is dat daar net eenvoudig te veel mere is om te onthou. Ek het so pas deur die Canadian Shield area gery en daar is derduisende mere. Nommer 4 : Ek herken die "apostels" aan die suidekant (as ek dit nie mis het nie) maar ek is nie seker van die naam nie. Dis elk geval vrek na aan Lake Lousie. My geld is op Moraine Lake. My kaarte toon nie een van die mere nie, maar ek glo ek weet waar hy is. Ek is egter sleg met die name.Nommer 6: Is dit Peyto Lake?Wat nommer 1 betref, het ek gedog dis dalk Emerald Lake, maar nou weet ek nie meer nie, want ek sien jy het Emerald Lake later gepos.

Hendie 139 Posted September 6, 2004 Innie kol met #4 en #6 Harry, geweet ek kan op jou staatmaak! Kom aan daar's nog 'n paar oor mense. (en julle kan maar julle fotos van ander mere ook plaas!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
