Description
Swiss, Jungfrauregion, Unterer Gletscher von Grindelwald
Closeup of the lower glacier of Grindelwald with a paraglider.
Maybe one of the last images we could take from a glacier because they are getting smaller and smaller.
I will show you later in this series how bad it is just now and there is so less ice left in both of the glaciers around Grindelwald.
Have a great sunday! ;o)

lovely capture
SUPERBE !!!
A gorgeous perspective!! I've seen this glacier about 25 years ago, it was large and had a "ice-cave".
hiya Boris, was there 17 years ago and it also has changed a lot! nothing to see from an ice cave now! ;o(
Very impressive!! Perfect POV and light!! 5+
Wow, beautiful shot!
Excellent capture.
Amazing scenery.
Wow ... gorgeous shot! I love this closer view. And I see the paraglider! I would have missed him. :)
Outstanding photography in every way! congratulations!!
It is a beautiful picture and place. I will look forward to the others you post.
Just digging in my archives here. And yes, I still have something: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=949087 (with additional links to websites offering information about the two Grindelwald glaciers) http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=745804 (closer look to the Oberer Grindelwald glacier) This one shows still an icy one, and although it takes some time, in this pace lots of glaciers in the Alps will disappear most unfortunately. This one, however, is frozen in your archives! Well done, Rita! :)
I see you are back here at RR after such a long time...lovely image
Very beautiful scene and capture!
Wow!!great capture! Very impressive nature!
Stunning!! Makes me feel real small. :)
Like a frozen river; a beautiful capture by you!
Such beauty Sossy, the pines surrounded by the mountains, the stark beauty of nature. It's a shame what we've done to create the global warming that is taking that from us. You've shared a bit of it with us and for that I'm so grateful.
Wonderful capture has something of the power of the elements to it.
Amazing shot you sharing with us. Beautiful raw nature. Feels like Im right there on this alpine trip.
Simply Beautiful..... Aloha
Mybe we are the last generation to see glaciers GORGEOUS SHOT HERE !!
Fantastic view of a glacier!
So sad to see so many amazing glaciers go. I wish that I could see them in person to see the power of these places, but I am grateful that you have captured them so we have a chance too. Beautiful image!
What an awesome place to paraglide!!! Did you go??? I would in a heartbeat!!! This is another beautiful shot!!!
Another shot, over which you have taken so much care, Rita. You show your love of the landscape, especially the disappearing, soon to be gone, landscape. Thanks for sharing this shot, and it is nice to see Jan-Carel commenting too. Just like old times. Warm regards, John.
