In 2003, we visited Switzerland for our holiday and on a day trip from Montreux, Lake Geneva, we visited the French town of Chamonix. This is La Mer de Glace which was reached by mountain railway.At first we thought the glacier had melted and our trip was in vain but as we looked closly we were seeing the rock and debris of its journey down the mountain.
The scale was bigger than we thought and there were steps to take you down and INTO the glacier.
The Ice Sculptures there were amazing!
As the Glacier moves down the mountain, a new cavern is carved out of the ice and new sculpures are created.
Well, there's improvement going on here, all change.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a tale told as well, but folk ought to know that if they click on the photo - it enlarges and you see so much more detail in the photos.
Keep up the good work BH, but dont keep changing as I keep having to type my comments all over again.lol.
Ye Gads, Ive posted comments, lol
ReplyDeleteMany thank to Imac for his help and encouragement over the weekend. It is a steep learning curve, but one that in time I will master. Thanks also to Sis for her help and comments, without which I may have bottled out. (not that she’s an enthusiast of blogs) Thanks. BH

Beautiful photos BH! Don't worry, it gets easier and you'll see, blogging is a blast! Welcome to our world :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging, we're a friendly crew and thank you for commenting at my place. Then I visited your prolific commenter above and he sent me over. Very nice piccies, those ice sculptures were amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing this. That's awesome that you can go into the glacier! Love the photo of the road with showing that great 'S' curve.
ReplyDeleteLet me be the first to tell you that you just took me to see a piece of Switzerland that I otherwise would not have known. Since travel to faraway places for me are done through books, blogs and many other such means, you have just 'taken me away' on a lovely trip. Thanks for sharing and have fun in 'blogland'.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless

Looks like a lot of steps to get down to the ice cave! Great shots BH, and enlarging the shots really helps see the glacier.
ReplyDeleteWe have an ice sculpture exposition each year in Bruges. This year the tent collapsed on Dec 24 under the snow ! all sculptures had to be destroyed, that was really sad.
ReplyDeleteDear All, Thank you so much for your fantastic welcome to blogging. I have earmarked (is that the right term?) at least one of every ones blog to follow and hopefully, in the next few days, I will drop by and leave my comments. There is SO much variety and so little time to linger.

I feel that you have got the hang of it, and with Imac as a mentor this venture will go very well.
ReplyDeleteHey BH this will become very addicting for you! It is so fun to share with people around the world! Of which you will find me in a beautiful desert setting in southern Utah USA! The glacier is amazing! I have been fortunate to see a beautiful glacier in Alaska! unbelievable!
