After He's Gone.(Chosen for #TextureTuesday, but also as addendum for the recent #WorldDayOfGlaciers...)"He" is referring here to the Gepatschferner (masculine in German), one of the once largest glaciers in the central Alps (and still Austria's 2nd largest), but so severely reduced by now and for at least 10 years the fastest shrinking glacier in Austria, losing up to ~120 meters (360 feet) per year!Walking in terrain like this is an incredibly moving experience, even if visually stunning!#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Glacier #Alps #Mountains #Rocks
