The Fragile Beauty of the Blue Canadian Rockies" by David Greer describes a picturesque scene of snow-covered peaks reflected in calm turquoise lakes surrounded by pines. This view is noted to have inspired the romantic ballad “The Blue Canadian Rockies,” which tells the story of a man longing for a distant sweetheart who chooses to remain in the mountains she loves.
