Description
This view lets you see the glacier and the lake below, sort of a combination of my previous to posts. From some viewpoints, this glacier looks like a body with outstretched wings, hence the name.
Jan-Carel asked about the horizontal lines in "Small Trees." They are layers in the rock. These mountains are sedimentary, so the layers are still visible, so many hundreds of millions of years after they were deposited.
Thanks for stopping by and any comments. I hope everyone has a great week.

I enjoy viewing your photography, and especially this series. I enjoy seeing parts of the world I've never seen before and you have shown me new areas and taught me about them as well.

I know you had a fair hike from the parking lot to get this beautiful shot...one that takes you up through the trees, into the alpine meadows and then into the snow and rock. As a child, I remember once staying at the Tea house/lodge(gone now) that used to be where the parking lot is today..at that time the glacier almost touched the bottom of the rock line. At times the valley was filled with a thunderous roar as massive chunks of the glacier would break off. Thanks for bringing back some old memories of Jasper National Park.

Beautiful capture of this glacier that starts in the basin up there, drops down on the unconnected icesheet and the melts entirely! Gorgeous impressions, thank you for explaining, Dennis! :)

I like the way the light falls on this scene - quite beautiful, seems like 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Calling attention to the strata made me notice that the uplifting appears uniformly horizontal, not something one often sees. Thanks for the presentation, Dennis, it is absolutely terrific.
