Description
Yesterday's zoom was not finished yet, but I could not put all the pictures in one collage at this size so I decided to conclude the zoom today. The upper one shows the melt-water along the glacier where the glacier - apparently - is not covering the rocks. The bottom picture is a cropped version of the top picture, because I wanted to show the splashing water with all the drops that fly through the sky now and then.
Yesterday's question about the blue color of the ice of the glacier made me think. The blue color is caused both by the absorption of the spectral colors with relatively little energy, mainly red and yellow, leaving the colors with more energy, like green and especially blue as we see that here. More explanations at http://webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/5C.html (blue ice) and http://webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/5B.html (blue water).
Initially I thought this would be the last one of the series, but yesterday's mistake about the red dots made me aware I have to add something to complete this series (but that will remain a surprise... :).

Fantastic shots Jan-Carel ! and always more close-up... the blu colors of the ice is incredible, like the iceberg, and it's easy here to see the different age of the glacier. And with this small river, it's... magic and gorgious ! Magico !!!! V
