This glacier included into 10 places that should definitely visit in the world. It located in eastern Alaska, USA and part of Yukon, Canada. It is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. The Glacial face is about 122 m (360 feet) high and its long is about 122 km (76 miles). It is an active glacier and one of the few glaciers in the world which is growing, it has been advancing for more than 100 years.
The glacier routinely calves off icebergs the size of a ten-story building.

Этот ледник включают в 10 мест, которые обязательно надо посетить на Земле. О размерах его можно судить по тому факту, что айсберги, которые откалываются от его фронта и с шумом врезаются в океан, достигают высоты 10-этажного дома. Это самый большой прибрежный ледник Аляски высотой 120 м и длиной 122 км.
Это растущий ледник, один их немногих в мире, которые увеличиваются. Неуклонный рост его продолжается последние сто лет.
Но главное впечатление - это, конечно, неповторимая красота его ...

The Hubbard Glacier, Disenchantment Bay, Alaska. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz filters.
Explored August 18, 2020
We started our trip on a Royal Caribbean cruise called the Radiance of the Seas out of Vancouver Canada. We made our way to Ketchikan, Icy Straight Point, Juneau, Skagway, then to the Hubbard Glacier shown in this picture. The cruise finally ended in Seward, AK.
If you look closely in the middle of this picture you can see a large piece of ice calving off from the glacier creating some huge waves. A small group of 150 boarded a little tour boat as we stopped a few miles back from the edge of the glacier.
Per Wiki...Hubbard Glacier is a glacier located in eastern Alaska and part of Yukon, Canada, and named after Gardiner Hubbard.
The longest source for Hubbard Glacier originates 122 kilometres (76 mi) from its snout and is located at about 61°00′N 140°09′W, approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) west of Mount Walsh with an elevation around 11,000 feet (3,400 m)
It takes about 400 years for ice to traverse the length of the glacier, meaning that the ice at the foot of the glacier is about 400 years old. The glacier routinely calves[3] off icebergs the size of a ten-story building. Where the glacier meets the bay, most of the ice is below the waterline, and newly calved icebergs can shoot up quite dramatically, so that ships must keep their distance from the edge of the glacier in Disenchantment Bay.
You might wonder why the glacier is blue, so did I. Here is what I found... Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier. Air bubbles are squeezed out and ice crystals enlarge, making the ice appear blue. ... The blue color is sometimes wrongly attributed to Rayleigh scattering, which is responsible for the color of the sky.
It is hard to say goodbye to the cheerful gold of the Gingko leaves as November tightens its grip and the long winter approaches.

In 1938, the writer Agatha Christie and her husband, the archaeologist Max Mallowan, were becoming disenchanted with their home in nearby Torquay. The town had changed in the previous years, and the once uninterrupted view of the sea from the house became obstructed with new buildings.Looking around south Devon, Christie saw Greenway was available. She had seen the property during her youth and always thought it "the most perfect of the various properties on the Dart". In her later autobiography she wrote:
One day we saw that a house was up for sale that I had known when I was young ... So we went over to Greenway, and very beautiful the house and grounds were. A white Georgian house of about 1780 or 90, with woods sweeping down to the Dart below, and a lot of fine shrubs and trees – the ideal house, a dream house.
The house was occupied by Christie and Mallowan until their deaths in 1976 and 1978 respectively, and featured, under various guises, in several of Christie's novels. Christie's daughter Rosalind Hicks and her husband Anthony lived in the house from 1968 until Rosalind's death in 2004.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann, 1948

The only clear day on a week long cruise...
I decided to try something different today. I selected objects from a number of photographs, transformed them to a posterized state of solid colors, did some trimming and manipulating, and assembled them to a collage.
Inspired by the Vertigo challenge sponsored by SURREALART, where the idea is to create an image brought to mind by the colorful and surreal writing of Lula Freire. Here I depict this reference: “In long deserts I passed through melted horizons thrown into the common ditch of disenchantment.”
And for the Extreme Weather contest at “seasoned 2”.
St. Kevin was born somewhere in the midlands of Ireland in 498 ad. He became a monk and decided to follow in the footsteps of St. Patrick. However, he became disenchanted and decided to take up a hermit`s life and spend his day in prayer and quite contemplation. He set out on a journey to look for a suitable place. He entered the Wicklow mountains near Blessington and travelled west for 30miles along this path through the valley till he came to Glendalough { The Glen of the two lakes } and there in a cave, overlooking the upper lake, he made his home.
The cave, called St Kevins Bed, is still there and still accesable.
Kevins fame spread, and people came to see him from far and wide. When he died in 617 ad, Glendalough quickly turned into a place of pilgrimage and a monastic city complete with 7 churches, a cathedral and a round tower was built. Pilgrims would travel along St Kevins Way and pray and do penance on the journey. The paving slabs on the path exist from that period.
It became a centre of learning until it was destroyed by a number of Viking raids in 835 ad. They were based in Dublin, which was a Viking city.
It wasn't until 1014, at the battle of Clontarf, that Brian Boru, drove them out of Ireland.
The ruins of the churches are still standing including the round tower and they are preserved and looked after through the wonderful work of the Office of Public works and the Wicklow National Parks and many volunteer organisations.
And there is no charge for visiting this wonderful unspoiled place!
Its amazingly beautiful and peaceful place. A major tourist attraction. I am not of a religious disposition, but it is the most moving, spiritual place I have ever visited.
I am so lucky to have it on my doorstep.
Many thanks to my great Flickr friends.
Pat.
Tettenweis (Passau district) from above, the snow depth this year at 55cm was unprecedented, it will be over again this weekend, rain will disenchant the winter wonderland again!
Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people.

To all the other dreamers out there, don't ever stop or let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and the right people, anything is possible.
Adam Greene
It's important to surround yourself with good people, interesting people, young people, young ideas. Go places, learn new stuff. Look at the world with wonder - don't be tired about it.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the way these two turned out. I took them several hours apart and didn't know they would speak to each other, but they really do.

The presence of something beyond...the "natural" is more palpable and immediate, one might say, physical, in an enchanted age. The sacred in the strong sense, which marks out certain people, times, places and actions, in distinction to all others as profane, is by its very nature localizable, and it place is clearly marked out in ritual and sacred geography. This is what we sense, and often regret in passing of, when we contemplate the mediaeval cathedral. God-forsakenness is an experience of those whose ancestral culture has been transformed and repressed by a relentless process of disenchantment, whose deprivations can still be keenly felt.

Hubbard Glacier - the largest tidewater glacier in North America, measures 76 miles (122 km) long and plunges 1,200 feet (366 m) into the depths of the bay.
This east Alaskan glacier is rapidly advancing toward the Gulf of Alaska into a pristine area known as Disenchantment Bay.
Its immense beauty and phenomenal blue hues are enchanting ...

Hubbard Glacier, Disenchantment Bay, Alaska
An absolutely spectacular sight, the Hubbard Glacier is located at the end of Disenchantment Bay in Alaska. The furthest source from the sea is approximately 122km inland and is at an elevation of 3400m. In places, the ice wall is up to 100m in height.
Ice traverses the length of the glacier in approximately 400 years, meaning that the ice at the foot of the glacier is about 400 years old.
Almost looking apocalyptic, the views from this room are amazing. Along with fellow Flickr friend Wayne Moran , we made our way to the 9th floor of the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. The amber tint on the windows gives an interesting look to photos taken from the amber box we were standing in which protrudes off the side of the building.
The room also has a glass section in the floor and ceiling which also has the amber tint which you can see straight down many stories below. It's kind of creepy for those with acrophobia.
Per Wiki..."The Guthrie Theater, founded in 1963, is a center for theater performance, production, education, and professional training in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The concept of the theater was born in 1959 in a series of discussions among Sir Tyrone Guthrie, Oliver Rea and Peter Zeisler. Disenchanted with Broadway, they intended to form a theater with a resident acting company, to perform classic plays in rotating repertory, while maintaining the highest professional standards."
Early morning in the wonderful Glendalough Valley located in the Wicklow Mountains National Park. It stretches across almost 23,000 hectares south of Dublin. The largest of Ireland’s National Parks and the only one in the East Wicklow, it features wide-open vistas, winding mountain roads and fast-flowing streams that descend into the deep lakes of the wooded valleys, including St Kevin’s monastic settlement at Glendalough.
Ochre-coloured mountains, hauntingly beautiful forests, gushing streams and placid lakes – the Wicklow Mountains in County Wicklow boast some of the most striking landscapes on the island of Ireland.
Situated surprisingly close to Dublin city, and yet with an otherworldly atmosphere, the mountains’ unique landscapes have been an inspiration for poets and painters, as well as filmmakers, with major productions including Braveheart, Barry Lyndon, The Green Knight and Disenchanted all filmed here.
A true flavour of Ireland’s ancient wilderness awaits you in the park. Come visit Ireland

drifting sea ice, Disenchantment Bay, near the Hubbard glacier, Alaska
This is the south face of the Hubbard Glacier where it meets the sea in Disenchantment Bay, Alaska. The excursion boat in the foreground has two observation levels and can accommodate about 150 people. The bay is full of chunks of ice that have broken off from the glacier. For some time we could barely see the glacier, but for a short while the fog lifted enough to reveal the blue color of the ice. Glacier ice appears blue because the extreme pressure caused by the thick ice compresses the ice crystals until only blue wavelengths of light can escape. The glacier is 1,200 ft (366 meters) thick on average and as deep as 2,000 ft (610 meters) in places. At the sea face you see here, the ice is 250 to 300 meters thick, most of the ice is below the surface. Large pieces often break off below the surface and pop up unexpectedly making it very dangerous to get too close.

“Disenchantment Bay extends southwest for 16 km from the mouth of Russell Fiord to Point Latouche, at the head of Yakutat Bay in Alaska.
Named "Puerto del Desengano", Spanish for "bay of disenchantment", by Alessandro Malaspina in 1792, upon finding that the bay was not the entrance to the legendary Northwest Passage. He sailed up the bay as far as Haenke Island, before discovering the passage blocked by ice.
During the earthquake of September 10, 1899, parts of Disenchantment Bay were raised 14.43 metres. This is the greatest recorded vertical displacement by an earthquake.”
