Panorama Maligne River, Rocky Mountains, Canada

Another photo of the Maligne River taken about 2pm. The mountain in the background reminds me of the Paramount mountain. It has not exactly the same shape but the sky, the foogy atmosphere, and the distant view create a picture as you know it from the Paramount logo. Taken by Rene Schwietzke.

I think the photo is actually of Medicine Lake, which is on the maligne river between Maligne Lake and the Athabasca river. Medicine Lake is named so because with each spring run-off, the lake fills and covers the path you see on the left of the picture; the lake then empties in the fall almost to lakebed. The name was from the Aboriginal Canadians who thought it was an unnatural phenomenon, or bad medicine.
