An Old Friend

We have been here at our favorite lunch spot near the glacier many times in the past 4 years. It is always an awesome site. (more photos posted earlier) If you look into the cave where the Carbon River begins, you can see a large hunk of ice that has fallen from the roof. My best guess is that the top of the cave is around 30 ft. tall. The face is over 100 ft. tall and it used to stretch across the valley from one mountainside to the other. Now it has pulled away from the sides and has receded a lot. I guess it is the way of nature, but I can't help but think it's a sign of the times. I wonder what it will look like 10 years from now. The second shot is looking down stream to Mother Mt. We never did see the top of it... Thanks for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the hike!!

Very cool subject... the stone is unusual. Where is this?

Artist Reply: Hi Angel, This is ice, not stone. The Carbon Glacier is one of 16 glaciers on Mt. Rainier, in Washington State, USA. It's actually the longest glacier on the mountain and the beginning of the Carbon River. If you can, take a look at a few other photos posted last spring. There is more info and you can see some of the changes in the past few years. Thanks for viewing my site and for your kind comment. It's very much appreciated!!
