Banff

After 10 years, i finally got to see the beauty of the rocky mountains in Canada. My parents and i met up in Calgary and rented a car for the week. we started in Calgary and drove all the way up to Jasper and back. I didn't know the flight up to Canada was only 2 hours and 10 min. which was a good surprise, since i hate airplanes..
the beauty of the mountains and the lakes are beyond what i can describe. the mountains are so grand; it stretches all along the highway. it felt like i was being protected by two rows of huge walls. The water in the lakes has a deep blue/green hue from a distance. but when i stood next to it, it looked clean enough to drink. everything look almost a little fake because it's just so picture perfect. =)
here are few of my favorite places that i visited..

this is the famous Banff Springs Hotel. it's a beautiful castle in the morning, but it's kind of spooky looking at night especially with that kind of sky light...supposely, one of the ballroom in there is haunted... the paintings in that room are pictures of train crashes and unfortunate events...
