A study in impermanence
I am endlessly fascinated by ice, water, and clouds. Eternally changing shape and form – solid, liquid, gas, we can see it transform in real time.
Where would we be without it?

I am going to have to open a gallery to house all of my Enz glacier pictures.
Does St. Bonaventure have a gallery? Maybe they are interested in a larger exhibit…
I’m going to use the word ‘gorgeous’ again. I’m so curious about what causes the different blue colors, especially in the water where it doesn’t seem to be from reflections.
The color of the water is often caused by the ice that is below the water surface. The ice is stark white and the water is shallow, so the effect is luminous blue or green water. The color also reflects from the underwater ice bouncing off the exposed ice (above the water). Depending on where you are, glacier melt creates rock dust that turns the water gray-blue. If that is mixed in, there is a whole different palette of blues and greens. I am sure there are other (Probably more accurate) reasons but this is what I saw.
