Glacial River Project

Within the chaos of these rapids see order. I made these images in Banff National Park, in Alberta, Canada, along the glacially-fed Bow River. Very fine silt—the result of the glacier scrapping over bedrock—naturally suspends in the glacier’s meltwater. Sunlight refracts off the sediment causing glacially-fed rivers and lakes to be characteristically milky white or turquoise.

Included here are three of the images in the series: Vivace, Mellifluous and Cadence.
