Hasn't voted | It looks like the glaciers have retreated a lot in just five years. These were both taken in August. Maybe 1999 had more snow that season, but it looks like actual glacial retreat. Great shots in any case, and an interesting idea. | | Posted Dec 27, 2004 10:48 pm |

Hasn't voted | Nelson,
I'm glad you appreciated my idea.
Unfortunately last summer I didn't get the opportunity to return at Money bivouac, where I went also previously, in 1991: I should scan my old slides from Money alpage made in 1985 ( I put a question into the thread open by Brenta, but I didn't get any answer) for a more interesting comparison...
I had posted also the pano from the intermediate Pian Tournetta, for a further comparson.
Take into account that the 2003 summer was really scorching andgave the finishing blow to many glaciers already retreating.
Cheers! | | Posted Dec 28, 2004 3:35 pm |
