Blue Jack - a photo on Flickriver

Blue Jack

            Blue hour at Banff's Two Jack Lake.  It often pays to beat the sun.

"The blue hour occurs when the Sun is far enough below the horizon so that the sunlight's blue wavelengths dominate due to the Chappuis absorption caused by ozone.  Since the term is colloquial, it lacks an official definition similar to dawn, dusk, and the three stages of twilight. Rather, it refers to a state of natural lighting that usually occurs around the nautical stage of the twilight period (at dawn or dusk)."  Wikipedia

The lake is named after Jack Stanley, who operated a boat concession on lake Minnewanka at one time, and Jack Watters, who worked for the mines in Bankhead, a town which flourished at the base of Cascade Mountain just after the turn of the century.

Thanks for taking  a look.  

Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
