Part 4


Columbia Icefield Mountains at Sunrise
For what human ill does not dawn seem to be an alleviation? - Thornton Wilder
Another early morning. I left for the famous Columbia Icefield, something National Geographic says is a "must see", around 6:30am. I stopped about two-thirds of the way there to capture what I thought would be a decent sunrise photo.

A glitter of sunlight on mountain.
While shooting the above photo in ZERO degrees my cable release started to stiffen
up and frost started creeping over my camera. I wasn't very cold but my camera
sure told me it was.
I made it to the Icefield around eight am. The thing was massive and supposedly even
large 100 years ago. They claim global warming due to man has made it recede.
I don't know about that (only the deity knows).

Where it was in 1992
