One of the prettier things I love about the Canadian Rockies (and foothills) are the turquoise lakes and rivers. This “special effect” is created by the glacial rock powder suspended in the water, met with sunlight. Therefore on an overcast cloudy day, this special effect will be less prominent. Who’s ready to do some fly-fishing or panning for gold? I think I will try a bit of panning, how about you? Thanks for stopping by.

Awesome pictures! The third and first ones are gorgeous. It makes the long drive to get there all the more worth while isn't it? If I can find the time and energy I may try to get to one of my secret spots to metal detect and pan for some gold this weekend. It's a very long drive unfortunately!
I need to test out the !DUO bot out, it was down so let's see if it works!

As the price of gold is definitely rising, it may be worthwhile to try your luck! Thanks as always.
Wow it's look amazing. Ever since I started seeing your posts, you have shared with us some very beautiful and captivating scenes of nature, scenes that I had never seen before. Your style of photography is very high and excellent. You tell a complete story in a single picture.
Appreciate the kind words! Sometimes a picture is worth a hundred words.
Absolutely I'm totally agree with you.
Turquoise looks very cool even though I haven't seen it in real life lol. The area surrounding the lakes is such a beautiful sight. You get inspired to take great pictures
Our Canadian Rockies are really quite stunning, and I am happy to live around here.
A special effect created by glacial rock powder suspended in the water very amazing, thank you so much for sharing my friend and have a great day ♥️
Interesting factoid right? Thanks and have a good weekend.
I think I would rather opt for the panning with you...lol! I can see what you mean about the turquoise colour of the water. It's stunning, but I believe even better when you can see this in real life! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Let's go panning!
Always better in real life!!
😊👍
I love turquoise too! Transparent turquoise is pretty cool and gives also a clean feeling
Can you find gold there if you pan? I would try for sure!
Probably if there was any, it would likely have been panned out already, but it would be fun to give it a go.
Panning for gold.
Cane up successful?😂😂
A rainbird river huh...
Seems like a fairytale kind of something ♥️
Lovely pics man!!
If I stop posting, then you know I was successful lol.
😂
I didn’t know that this stunning color comes from rock flour suspended in the water, truly an amazing fact.
Crazy how that works!
The river is really very beautiful with its turquoise color shining.
Nice photos my brother. Greetings :)
Thanks for stopping by.
You're welcome my brother :)
The river is very beautiful with its colour, but it is not all that like ocean. Is the water drinkable may looking at the colour? God is omniscience and wonderful in all his creatures. Your post is always giving me joy, ride on 👍♥️.
Yeah, it is drinkable, but you would need a water filter for sure. Thanks.
Okay, your welcome.
The area and the water is really clean, that's great.!
Loved these captures they are absolutely amazing and stunning.!
Thanks @cryptofairy.
This should be the first river I've seen to have a turquoise colors. It's very beautiful. Thanks for sharing it here.
Lots of these in the Canadian Rockies. Thanks.
Yess, they should title them Turquoise , rul nice photo graphs
Thanks bos.
Looks like a good place to pan for gold.
Someday will actually need to give it a try.
We have found lots of gold out there in BC.
Nice will need to do a deeper dive into panning at some point.
I bought a bunch of cheap pans on Amazon.ca and I go panning for gold with my kids every weekend now.
It’s a great retirement hobby . And we have found a lot of gold.
You are in the heart of River Gold Land out there in BC and Yukon.

We have a buddy with a Claim there…it has both Gold and Platinum.

Nature always looks beautiful 😍
These pictures are very beautiful.
You done great work ✨
Nature makes it rather easy.
