I hope you have a huge print of this one! Very well done. The larger photo is a must see.

Real nice pano, Gary! That glacial terminus is just fantastic. I love it as is, but i bet a boat/ship in the frame would give this some added dimension and scale (plus more sales!). :smile:

An impressive wall of ice! I agree, a dinky kayak for scale would make it even more impressive.

Well, since there weren't any other craft of any type around when I shot this I guess I'll just have to borrow that tiny little kayaker from my last post. If anyone asks, I'll just have to tell them Stan and Bill made me do it :wink:
