Weekend Fun: Some Random Older Photos

-

I've been rummaging around in the blog, and find that I never finished my report on our trip to Patagonia in 2020. That's not surprising (I was actually more surprised to find that I'd done any posts at all, as that was the last trip I did with my husband, and he was killed just weeks after returning home). I'm not going to do a report, but I think I'll share some of Dave's fantastic photos from the parts of that trip I didn't report on. 

On one day, we did a cruise on Lago Argentina, which included cruising by the Perito Moreno Glacier, which we'd visited the previous day from the land side. This glacier has been in the news because at that point, it was one of very few worldwide that was still advancing--and it is now in retreat. Read more about that at Karen Grove's excellent Landscapes Revealed blog. 

Meanwhile, enjoy some of Dave's photos. He was a much better photographer than I am.




We're way up an arm of the lake, and I think that we are looking at part of the South Patagonia Ice Sheet.






 
 
 
IIRC, this face was a couple hundred feet high.
 

Looking at the closest point between the end of the glacier and the land--which is now about 10x farther.

I'm posting this morning with the Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays blog hop. The hop is sponsored by  Greg Pattridge of Always in the Middle . Check out Greg's blog for a list of additional middle grade reviews.    After reading Three Blue Hearts , by Lynne Kelly, I decided to give her other works a look.
