Glacier calving; the big, bluest chunk had just begun to hit the water:
Just to give you a sense of the scale of the place; the Holland-America cruise ship is *huge* but the face of this glacier is even taller.
If you want to visit Glacier Bay, don't do it on one of the big ships. Our ship, the Lindblad/National Geographic Sea Bird, spent the whole day in Glacier Bay (we had a 24-hour permit) and visited Johns Hopkins Inlet, Tarr Inlet, and Muir Inlet (3 major fjords). The H-A ship came in, performed a stately pirouette, and left again; this is probably the only glacier they got really close to.

Not that anyone could take a *bad* picture of a glacier, but these are really extraordinary.
Awesome photos ~ thanks for sharing!
Oh, getting so close and surrounded by all this must have been magical. Lots of inspiration for weaving??
ohh you've got to use those blues!
