Photographer's Note
"Crowfoot Glacier is located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, 32 km (20 miles) northwest of Lake Louise, and can be viewed from the Icefields Parkway.
Crowfoot Glacier is east of the Continental divide, and runoff from the glacier supplies water to the Bow River. The glacier has retreated since the end of the Little ice age and now has lost one entire lobe; it therefore no longer resembles the glacier which early explorers named. The glacier was measured to be 1.5 km² (0.58 miles²). The Crowfoot glacier was once connected to the Wapta Icefield, and in the 1980s and was considered to be part of a smaller icefield of 5 km² (1.9 mi²)."

And yes, the sky & glacier were white, because it was SNOWING. I've never seen grey snow.

Hello Chris.
The trees give many important vertical items to the shot.
The snowy mountains are a magnificent background.
Great contrast between white, grey and green paints.
Best regards.
Bobo.

Good Morning Chris,
The misty horizon captures the chilly mood of this shot well. Excellent use of the horizontal layers of contrasting colours and textures to build up a fine composition.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,
The trees are a natural frame to the glacier. The point of view takes our eyes toward the Crowgfoot Glacier which is giving depth to the photo. The light fog is hiding some colors of the glacier and is giving a good contrast to the colors of the trees. Have a nice day.
