LAKE LOUISE DAY 2

Ian set off after breakfast to do the Agnes Lake walk to the Tea House and continued on around the Lake and up to Big Beehive.  This was about a five and a half  hourwalk, mostly uphill which he was very happy to have completed. 
I kept myself occupied wandering around the hotel shops (there are plenty of these) had lunch in the Deli and taking short walks around the hotel grounds and Lake. 
It has been very cold today with the wind coming of the snow.  There was a fresh powder shower last night and everything looked dusted in white this morning on the higher peaks. 
We both wandered around the lake again this afternoon.

Some of the images Ian took and his walk today.

Tonight we had dinner in the Lake View Restuarant looking through big picture windows at the lake and mountains.  After dinner we walked down to the edge of the water and I chattered with a couple who were set up waiting to photograph the sunset over the mountains which didn't happen.  They were from a camera club in Tennessee and were on a trip around Canada and plan on going to the Canyons on the way home.  The lady gave me a few names of places worth visiting.
