Lake Louise
This turqoise color is the actual color of the lake. It was taken around six o' clock in the morning, the only time (with the evening) that you can have a reflection in these lakes.
-Some explanation from Wikipedia for the color.
Rock flour consists of clay-sized particles of rock, generated by glacial erosion or by artificial grinding to a similar size. Because the material is very small, it is suspended in river water making the water appear cloudy. If the river flows into a glacial lake, the lake may appear turqoise in color as a result.
