From Glacier to River, A view of a Lost Iceage

A snap shot of the kids "gazing" down  vally to Gletch

(not very visible but in the 3rd " top window"

on the rail in front of the kids)

on the west side of Furka Pass at 2400m

This is where the  river Rhone starts it's journey to the 

Mediteranian Sea

On the eastern side the melting glacier gives "birth" 

to the river Rhine

  Above is a photo of The Rhone Glacier from 1857

taken from Gletch and up. Where the glacier start

cascading  over the edge and down the vally is the level of 

wher the kids are sitting looking down. You can just about 

see the road to the right on the old photo, leading up to

where the Hotel Belveder  was built in 1882 

Here is the glacier with the Belveder Hotel 

so still a lot of ice after 1882

 This is what it looks like today, no glacier

I know, this was supposed to be about a LO,

but a reminder to us all about global warming 

and how visible it is :(

Back to the LO, a few close ups

I made my journaling in a small book held by the

Scarecrow

The  Wild Ibex(Wild goat) was bought 

at the  Furka Glacier shop

here a close up 

 I used a lot of buttons on this LO, one is of the alpine 

flower Edelweiss (bottom right)

A few bits and bobs

Prima flowers, TH die cuts, Pebbles Inc text ribbon,
Dylusion Ink spray London Blue, Acrylic paint,

Pink Paislee tag, G45  Wizard of Oz paper,

a small coke bottle button from Dress it Up

I'm entering with this LO here
