Briksdalsbreen Glacier remembered

Briksdalsbreen Glacier remembered
A look at Briksdalsbreen Glacier and its lake in Norway, taken in Aug 2005. We travelled to this from Olden, on Nordfjord and was astounded by the beauty of it. See PiP
Unfortunately, we see it here before its impending death! - I was astonished to see yesterday, that this view has almost disappeared in the 14 years since we were here, due presumably to global warming. I did in fact manage to get underneath the ice here too. Only the very top is now visible as ice but the modern visitor have a few splendid waterfalls from the melting top of this in Summer.
See the decline of the glacier here.
Another from my Panoramio collection.
PIP. Enjoy full size.

Hi Keith. Quite amazing what this little Canon Ixus could do, and I still have it here -almost redundant now. It was quite a trip with a few spectacular captures taken. I loved the greeny blue ice and water reflections here. I also scrambled up part of the glacier and ducked underneath at one point but sadly did not take a photo of that event -or at any case -kept one. Yes, it was sad to see the demise of this on the latest Internet photos of it. Maybe one day it will be like this again but unlikely in our lifetime. Glad you enjoyed the pip.

Cheers, Herb

Very sad indeed Nora. Every day, I read and hear of other similar events around the word and also here in Britain.

Hi Janet, great to see you here again. yes when one sees our beautiful nature dying like this, it is heartbreaking. In that, we are together in being upset when we see and read about such things my friend. Very happy though that you have enjoyed these two photos which are getting old now.

So sorry about divulging that I had not read your 'War & Peace' blog with your spectacular photos. In fact I told a little lie, inasmuch, I do in fact read much of what you write and it is always most informative and often amusing. As you will have seen, I can hardly say too much about long descriptions nor comments as, as many of my visitors would also say, I write much to much perhaps :) So don't let me discourage you from your writings of which I wonder if you publish elsewhere too. Carry on the good work.

Best Wishes, Herb

Two stunning images Herb. I fear that many of us have taken/are taking images that will never be replicated. Daily I'm reminded that grandson's future will probably be very difficult - glad I'm the age I am ...

In your comment, we share our lives and thoughts Maggs. Many of my older captures spots have changed almost beyond recognition. We too fear for the World of our grandchildren and their offspring. - Glad you liked these images just the same.
Cheers, Herb
