Imagine you go to London and you find yourself all alone on Trafalgar Square, in the middle of the day. Something similar happened to me when I stopped in Lake Louise to have a glance at the famous Moraine Lake: I had the luxury of having it absolutely for myself!

OK, maybe it was because the summer road was closed… and it was a 12km cross-country hike to get in. I even had to set in the tracks on the last 3km.
