So sad, Gary. The texture and color of the glacier even look sorry to be melting away. This will be a great historical photo of how it used to be.

Very sad indeed. Even in a single exposure, it does look like it has seen better days.

I’d consider cloning over or otherwise reducing the bright area in the UL. The line of that ridge helps to pull the eye up there.

You captured this really beautifully in a sad sort of way. The darkness and fog adds to the mournful, reminiscent feel of the good old days.

Gary, this is a fine look at this glacier and it’s surroundings. The cloudy sky add well to a sense of starkness
