2013 01 Jan 11 Sunset Beach Moss Macro Hyperfocal 04a

If you look closely enough at the beached logs of English Bay Beach in downtown Vancouver you'll find numerous micro-glaciers. Parts of the log that during the winter do not get sunshine even at high noon.

This shot was taken mid afternoon today and shows how frost's made-in-the-shade nature makes it related to glaciation. Stay stuck in shadows long enough and 'ancient' ice gets created.

Not so much in this micro case of course but you get the idea. :)
