**Hello Hivers**

Welcome to Quarry Lake, located in beautiful Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

Wow those are some pretty awesome shots. 

While that is a nice work done by the person in charge. Making this place little bit better than it was. While I must say a job well done. And also that is somewhere that anybody would definitely like to be at. 


A perfect place to enjoying the view, have a cup of tea and some music in the ear. Early morning or during the sunset would be perfect for the above scenario ;)

Thank you, I have a Nikkon 7200,  although it would be difficult to take a bad picture of a view like that... Yes an ugly mine turned into that oasis, he had a great vision and made it happen...
