In photography, depth of field (DOF), also called focus range, is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

Sometimes snow falls so high in the mountains that it never melts, even in the summer. Over time, layer upon layer, the snow pack builds. Soon the weight of the snow in the upper layers presses down on the layers beneath. Eventually some of the layers morph into solid ice allowing the whole thing to slide. That’s when you have a glacier! Alaska is full of them, each one different and magnificent!

Lots of transient elements to this photo: snow in the mountains, the play of sunlight on the hills, reflections of the sky and bridge captured in water, the fresh green of a new Spring! A fleeting moment saved forever in a photo!
