Image Description

This image was taken on the top of Titlis Glacier in Switzerland. It’s amazing experience to be able to see and go into this ancient ice.

Went with b/w to give it a minimalist look.

Upon initially clicking on the image, it kind of made me wonder if it was a small scene or a larger landscape…am I looking at rocks or mountains? Very interesting.
