Taken through the dirty window of a de Havilland Beaver. I found the avalanche fans intriguing. B&W or color?

I think that the color photograph is more interesting. There is more drama in the color shot with the color-tinged clouds, the grey-blue bit of sky and the bits of white contrasting with the rugged darker browns of the rocks. Usually, the absence of color focuses the viewer on the shapes and forms of things, but here, for me, not much is going on in the black and white image.

Nice shots. I like the color. BTW- what are avalanche fans? Never heard of them. Are they in the picture somewhere?

Avalanche fans are the place where the avalanche stops. In this photo, the white streaks down the mountain side fan out at the base. Thats what he is referring to.
Have to agree with the rest of the comments. Good shot, good eye! Brings back my youth, spent many hours flying over mountains like these up there! Thanks for posting.

Usually I prefer color, but in this instance I think the B&W treatment is more effective.

Avalanches come down the gullies are contained by the gully walls until they reach the base of the mountains where they produce fan shaped snow fields
