A glacier is moving, a glacier is alive.
That's what you have to remember when you decide to be on one of the longest in Europe in the early morning...
The last snows of the season have frozen the small streams and waterfalls on the monster's flat lands. A fresh snow that hides crevasses several dozen meters deep... time to be vigilant!
This story is about a glacier, any glacier, whatever its name. Global warming is gradually cutting out the glacier tongues and it's easy to see how we can all tell it apart.
Turquoise blue as only nature can make it, it flows slowly towards the valleys; it seems frozen, extinct; then suddenly falls. A few rocks grated by its slow movement rise to its surface to remind us that after it there is nothing left.
This world is a historical chaos. This world is disappearing.
I know that this photograph will have no look-alike, that a few hours after my camera is fired something will have changed, moved. I know that this photograph is already a reflection of the past.
