Description
Going further along the lake we can see the source of this lake better: the glacier (directly behind the lake) covered with rocks and sand that feeds this lake with fresh glacier-milk. There is so little wind in this serene landscape we can see the reflections now very well.
The crystalline rock offers no caves as we could see them in the limestone rocks. It's only wind, water and ice that continues to shape this world little by little since its original creation (and I would love to see a fast-motion movie to see the effects over centuries!).

Tough turf! Excellent composition and "lighting." It's always hard to tell from a compressed jpg, but it appears to have exceeded the exposure range of the film. some of the snow areas are just white areas with no detail in them and the large shadow area on the left is similarly featureless. Hopefully the original negative contains information in these areas and with appropriate printing will give a better picture. One way to tackle scenes with such extreme contrast is with pre-exposure. This would enable you to expose for the snow textures and still retain good shadow detail. HTH

Wow! look at those reflections!!! Beautiful!!!! I really love the POV in this one because i feel like i'm right in the middle of that glacier milk. Hmmm...you must have been right there on the edge of bank i guess! looks like you've reached a dead-end and we can go no further...unless, of course, the water is shallow there at the edges...might have to get wet feet to continue! i sure to love the yellow bank with its rocks and stones! fantastic scene, Jan-Carel! would love to see that movie too!

Classic mountain photography from the master once again... hats off to Jan. There was a natural history series on BBC recently that showed a time laps sequence of a glacier, amazing to watch it running down hill at speed. They also drilled down and put a microphone inside the ice.....very scary noises they make too. This is a brilliant shot, you are very lucky to have such clear views of this beautiful range, well done.
