Bow Lake's Dramatic Summer Skies

Bow Lake's Dramatic Summer Skies

Location: Bow Lake, Banff National Park, Canada How amazing is Bow Lake at night? The Milky Way lined up perfectly over Crowfoot Mountain on this night in late June. You wouldn't have guessed it from the blue in the sky, but this photo was actually taken after 1am; even though the sun sets, it is close enough to the northern horizon that the sky stays in a constant state of faint twilight at this time of year.
