THE ICEFIELDS PARKWAY II


The theme of this series of pictures is to show how small and fragile a human being is in the grandeur and vastness of nature like this photographing visitor on the edge of Bow Lake.

Climbing to the top, even the Parkway below besides the Bow lake and the Bow Glacier seems to be no more than a small ribbon just winding through the landscape.


The Columbia Icefield is with an area of about 200 square kilometers the largest of all Icefields alongside the Parkway. People are just tiny muppets between the vast sea of ice, the huge mountains and the blue sky.


Walking back to the parking you wonder how it is possible that such tiny creatures as we are got the power to intervene in nature as if we are gods.

This toilet on the side of the Columbia Glacier seems to make the point that we are unimportant and to a certain extent even ridiculous.


At the same time nature shows us the perfection of a small flower that even the greatest artist cannot match.
