Fading Away
While there’s a lot to be said about this next comparison photo, mostly I like to take in how beautiful this icy scene is in either decade. It’s a peaceful body of water, but it is amazing how much things have changed in a matter of years, isn’t it? It’s also frightening to see how much the environment has changed, and the effects of global warming.

The mountains seem an awful lot closer now than they did before, don’t they? While melting ice caps is an issue that needs addressing, I like to think about how calm the water remains, how quiet it must be there for the person in the boat. A bit of peace, despite the years and years of change.
