I've never seen a blue like this! True, I've only seen it in pictures and video. Crater Lake in Oregon comes close (there's a place I have been to); but this is truly Crystal Blue Pursausion! Lake Louise is located in the Canadian provence of Alberta, in Bamf National Park. The lake is apparently named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848-1939), the fourth child of England's Queen Victoria, and also the wife of Sir John Campbell, who was Governor General of Canada from 1878-1883.
