Canadian Reflections
Photographed and Narrated by Elsa Gasparian


Moraine Lake – Banff National Park, Alberta
Known as the Valley of the Ten Peaks, it has the third highest mountain in the Rockies.
At times the trails may be closed due to grizzly bears.


Lake Louise – Banff National Park, Alberta
According to archaeologists, humans discovered Banff in 11000 BC. The habitats are estimated to be: 2600 mountain goats, 80 grizzly bears and 50 wolves.


Hector Lake – Banff National Park, Alberta
Beautiful green waters, reflecting a lush forest.


Peyto Lake – Banff National Park, Alberta
In the summer, glacial rock flour flows into the lake giving the lake a bright, turquoise color.


Emerald Lake - Yoho National Park, British Columbia
It was first discovered in 1882 by the legendary guide Tom Wilson during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.


Tofino – Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Many people visit Tofino in the winter to watch storms on the water.


  Elsa Gasparian has developed a soft spot for adventure when she first travelled to Portugal. Far away from photography, she is passionately involved in cake decorations and sugar flower creations.
