Clouds: Nature’s most fascinating architect
Snow has always amazed me. Made of small, intricate crystals falling from the sky, it has always been fascinating to observe the snowflake’s beauty. I recently got a new macro lens, capable of extremely up-close photography. Perfect for capturing the near microscopic detail in your average snowflake:
There are about 1 quintillion water molecules in your average snowflake. That’s a million million, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. So small, but always unique in its formation and appearance that no two snowflake are ever alike. Snowflakes are almost always 6-sided and form only at specific temperatures in the sky. About -10 to -15 C is when the largest and most beautiful ones form. These ones are smaller, as the temperature that day was warmer, around -5 C. Even still, they fascinate me to no end:
Next time it’s snowing, and trillions of snowflakes are falling through the sky, take a moment and reflect on the beauty held within each one. You’ll find the world just might become a more beautiful place.
