3. Lake Louise Banff

As an April Fools joke, Travel Alberta once sent out a press release, describing how the bottom of Lake Louise is painted each year to achieve the gorgeous shade, Lake Louise Turquoise Blue. Going so far as to release edited photos of a drained lake and painting underway, the internet went viral with the story.

I remember seeing the photo. The lake had been drained and a workman with a long handled roller brush was painting the bottom, rocks and all.
