Mt. Edith Cavell glacial pond. As I stood amongst the high mountains and glaciers, I was trying to imagine what it looked like 400 years ago when the valley where I stood was covered with 1000ft of ice. Some of the glacier that remains is still estimated to be 1200ft thick.

Located few thousands of miles away in the same planet but this almost looks alien to me. Its amazing to know what a magnificent place our planet is. I like the sun which pumps life in to the scene.

joy is not in things, it's in us !!!
This image is so powerful, Darryl. You've got some nice, rich blacks in here that have retained the details well along with clean whites and dramatic composition! I have a Fav dir on my hard drive which is where this beauty will reside! I hope man wises up so it's still intact 400 yrs from now. - Patty

I completely agree with &kjh000 - this is high quality photography. Top notch composition and clarity. Excellent framing with the border matching the colors in the image. This must have high marks! Splenderific job, Darryl :^)

I'm going to be just browsing for images for awhile..I guess I'll be lurking. I need this break-to catch up on things.
nice image, i find the tonal range a little off, i would like to see higher contrast between the rock & snow in the background ie. darker rock. somehow it still works, although it doesnt really carry a punch. maybe thats part of this pictures effect.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Absolutely breathtaking! Beautiful place and you captured it awesomely at a good angle.

Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.

A very powerful shot. I wish I was there. Did you use a blue filter for this shot?

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
I was just reading an article in the NG concerning retreating glaciers. I think you'd better shoot some more wile you can. They may soon become a collectors item.
Anyway, great pic.
Anyway, great pic.

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
I love how the light captures the soft texture of the ice in the foreground. Stunning!
