Lake Louise, greatest hockey rink in the world

By Rich Shulman

I grew up playing hockey on frozen rivers in northern New York State, so I was particularly taken by this scene on Lake Louise. There is something surreal about the goal sitting in the middle of this dramatic mountain scene.

    I have always felt Lake Louise is the prettiest places I have ever visited . I was there in the summer and it is beautiful.

         Even in the quietest moments.

        This is very surreal; sort of like out of a dreamscape.  This pic reminds me of the album cover for a Supertramp album titled "Even in the Quietest Moments".  I've never been to Lake Louise, I turned left and went back to Vancouver, pining the whole way to go East, into those terrific Canadian Rockies.

        I say put a Snowman in for goal keeper.
