The first snow already covered the mountains in the alps (for a short time), so let me post another snow-free glacier image until the next snow blankets even the Big Aletsch Glacier.
This photo shows my favourite model coming from our Aletschhorn climb, walking down the Mittelaletsch valley. The Mittelaletsch valley is only accessible via glaciers and mountains. I really liked the visual compression of the scene, it doesn’t reveal the width of the glacier which is 2 km / 1.25 miles. It also reminded me on a floating river, amplified by the colour of the ice. So let me sing “Going down to the river”…
Thanks!

6 Sep 2012A river it is. And then there are all the little (audible but invisible) streams under the ice too.

7 Sep 2012I absolutely love the three layers you have captured in this beautiful photo my friend! I also see that frozen river which looks like a cold wind blew upon it as it was rushing through and over many rocks only to be frozen solidly in place. Luckily there were no boats upon these rough waters when they froze. 🙂 The bluish tones in that frozen River are wonderful as well. Wilfried Haferland Great job! This is an amazing photo!

11 Sep 2012It indeed has to be viewed large Wilfried Haferland! The three layers are very nice. The contrast between the glacier and the green is quite surreal 🙂
Wilfried Haferland
12 Sep 2012Johan Peijnenburg – Thanks Johan. This is indeed an image that reveals its content only when viewed enlarged. The thumbnail doesn&39;t appeal, but honestly, I thought it would more ;-). Thanks!
Johan Peijnenburg
12 Sep 2012Wilfried Haferland: it is fast-paced here Wilfried. If the thumbnail isn&39;t appealing enough …

12 Sep 2012A frozen tongue between the grass and the rock ( the 3 layers ). Yes, great composition without forgetting the scale ! I really appreciate your work 🙂

13 Oct 2012Tolle Aufnahme. Ist da keine Lawinengefahr?
Wilfried Haferland
15 Oct 2012Viktor Peschel – Nein, keine. Ohne Schnee gibt es allenfalls die Gefahr von herabbrechenden Eisblöcken, dies aber nur in steilen Seraczonen. Beim Grossen Aletschgletscher gibt es kaum welche. Aber jetzt, mit dem Neuschnee dieser Tage, da gibt es schon stellenweise Lawinengefahr. Man muss nur wissen, was man tut 🙂 Vielen Dank!!
Viktor Peschel
15 Oct 2012Oh ich wüsste es nicht. Allerdings kann S-Bahn fahren in Berlin, auch sehr gefährlich sein. 😉
Wilfried Haferland
15 Oct 2012Viktor Peschel – 🙂 Ich weiss. Neben direkten Entgleisungen gibt es aber auch immer wieder solche, die der Abteilung "Service" zuzuschreiben sind. Ich muss nämlich manchmal auch Berliner S-Bahn fahren 🙂
Viktor Peschel
15 Oct 2012Echt wann denn?
Wilfried Haferland
15 Oct 2012Viktor Peschel – Ein paar Mal im Jahr, wenn ich Leute besuche in Berlin. A propos…? 🙂
