Making my way across the Kootenay river to begin the hike to Dog lake. I suppose the trailhead actually began before the river, but that is neither here nor there. On one side of the bridge the river water has a nice turquoise look to it, but on the opposite side the colour is less pronounced, probably has something to do with the angle of the sun. As mentioned before, I have stopped using my smartphone to photograph the outdoors, and exclusively use only my Sony now. A decision that I am happy with. In fact I hardly ever use the iPhone pro anymore, what’s the point?! Thanks for stopping by.
Camera: Sony A7R III

That turquoise color really prompts you to go and take a swim! It's hard to resist
Even not turquoise it's still cool
If I had more time I would have dove in for a swim, maybe next time!
Some part of the area looks very swampy, the side where the water is not completely covering the land areas, but it's a very beautiful place if you ask me. You get to gave everywhere to yourself with no one disturbing you
I was there in September so the river was on the lower side. During June/July it will be much higher due to snow melt coming off the mountains. Would love to come back at that time!
An incredibly beautiful sight. The color combination between the water and the surrounding forest is truly stunning, looking so contrasting.
Yes, nature at it's finest. Thanks.
Seeing you ditch the iPhone Pro for a Sony A7R III is a power move, especially when the turquoise river looks like it was pulled straight out of a movie scene. As a Bangalore accountant just getting my feet wet on Hive, I’m already vibing with that raw, lens‑only aesthetic you brag about. The way the sun hits the water on one side while the other stays muted is pure visual chemistry, no filter needed. Honestly, most people worship their phones like holy relics, so watching you trash the iPhone feels like a tiny rebellion. Keep throwing that boldness into the wild and let the pixels do the talking 🌊📸
And I will!
How about yourself, going to be throwing some blogs up? I noticed you have been commenting up a storm.
Thanks for stopping by.
