I have seen snowflake crystal shots before, but these just seemed especially magical, to me. I couldn't get done looking at them.

I did consider posting this thread in the Photography Group or even Science, but decided that they were so incredibly beautiful, maybe everyone should get a chance to view them. I'm hoping that putting "Russian" in the title makes them appropriate for General Discussion, ha!

Here's to Mother Nature and Alexey Kljatov!
