Hi Betty,
Will wonders never cease! You finally posted some photos of a cloudy day and the photos I have of the same location in "03 are sunny. I was compairing your first picture of the entire front of Portage Glacier with one I took from almost the same location. My photos were taken on July 1st, so the time of the year was almost the same. It appears the the face of the glacier is in about the same location, but the height has decreased a little bit. Did they make any comments about this at the visitor center?
When you get to Exit Glacier, be sure and post one of it also. There they have makers showing how much the glacier is receding.
Have you ever tried to stand in one location and just turn your head from left to right and hold the camera at the same elevation. When done with about a 50% overlap with the previous picture, you can get a great panorama--sometimes. If you want to try it, go to www.autostich.net and download a free program to assemble the photos into one panorama. I'll post a couple that I have done in the photography section of the forum.
