"Spit in Front of the Mountain"  - -  I hate that the title block has such limited characters 

I had an opportunity for a free glacier tour with Stan Steven's Glacier Tours so needless to say, I took them up on it.  The down side was that it was a completely overcast day so the wide angle landscape scenes were pretty dull.  Since one of the benefits of the tour is the wildlife, I also had the 100-400 with me so I decided to shoot telephoto landscapes instead.  This one is a small spit of land sticking out into the Columbia Bay with the still snow covered mountains and a small glacier in the background.  It was relatively cold with a strong breeze coming off the mountains and Columbia glacier which was rippling the water.  I liked the contrast of the dark, rich colors of the trees & grasses in contrast with the whites and blues of the distant mountains.  We couldn't get close enough to the Columbia Glacier to see any kind of a face because of the massive amount of ice floating in the bay (seen in the background of the photo) but it was still a pleasant cruise.
