Many of the Lakes and Rivers have that amazing colour because of the run off/melt from the glaciers, which has all sorts of different minerals and things in it.   So we were told.

Not hard to frame a shot with those sites BP.  But I admit alot of the photos were Chris' not mine.  He had the better camera.  It's too heavy for me but he got lovely photos.
