Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen

Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

Another impressive shot and not an easy terrain to walk on. Looks like the clouds are moving over head on you. Excellent shot. Aloha

Glaciers are impressive as they are like very big Ice rivers. Thanks for sharing JC, Wish you a nice day, G.

The shadows really does it in this one. It still looks surreal to me as if it was a Terragen after all. Beautiful work JC. Have a wonderful humpday. #:O)

JC, I see the latteral moraine starting at the top of the picture and swooping off to the left. But grass? Is there grass on those bare rock ledges above the moraine? To answer PeeWee, the angle of repose in loosened rock is usually about 30 degrees. Steeper than that in loose stuff, a slope becomes unstable and subject to slump or landslide. Less than 30 degrees, weathering (disaggregation) of the material is at play. But when you throw in moving ice, all bets are off. -- Dick

It makes me feel dizzy just looking at the photgraph. In reality, it must be terrifyingly steep. You have a splendid angle here. Very interesting contrast between the glacial ice and the brown hillside.

To play where the glaciers are blue is a rare treat. Looking into the eye of the glacier more than one lost climber or flyer has been found intact.
