Top down view of the Langtauferer outflow section of the valley, showing a patch work of different textures/rocks and colors from grassy slopes, talus fields in shades of gray, orange, beige, rust. The milky grey glacier creek meandering through it all from left to right. A small pool of crystal clear intensely green-blue water nearby. The entire scene feels like an abstract painting

Abstract looking photo of a section of the south-western edge the Gepatschferner (Austria's second largest glacier), which used to be connected here (as a major ice fall) to the Langtauferer glacier. Now only several large waterfalls are remaining, dropping over the exposed rock faces 300 meters down into the valley. The ice is pale blue with large seracs (approx. 50-100 meters thick at the edge). Some snow patches are a pale pink/orange, traces of Sahara sand...

Close up view (from a few hundred meters above) of the Langtauferer glacier gate and a beautiful river delta of the milky blueish-gray creek of another glacier (next image) which terminates higher up by now. The ice is characteristically blue, heavily crevassed and crumbling at the front. A word about scale: One of the larger detached ice fragments is ~2.5 meters tall.

Photo of the upper part of a glacial valley with large mountain peaks (some 3700+ meters) and remaining glaciers and icefields. The vivid colors are purely the result of the polarization filter used, but also nicely show the variety of rock types and minerals (rock colors vary from pale gray to orange, deep rust, black). The main arm of the glacier is curving down in the left side of the image, it's gate visible (a close up in the next image). In the front a fragment of the semi-eroded old side moraine, now slowly overgrown with grass. Creeks and waterfalls on the other side of the valley, exposing large sections of bed rock, smoothed by millennia of glacial activity. Deep blue sky.

Photograph of the windblown rippled surface of Clear Creek. The creek is about 1-2 ft deep and it's normally clear but the wind distorts the surface leaving most of the bed obscured except for a few locations where the creek bed and object on the bottom are visible. The upper third of the frame is sunlit & the water is a clear brownish-yellow or a light amber while the lower third is shaded & the water is a yellow-brown or dark amber. Light catches the upper edge of each wave and creates twisted streaks of brighter color over the surface while the troughs appear darker by comparison.
