A simple star snowflake, but with a very interesting center. Notice that the very center is solid? That’s an odd and wonderful feature that leads to layers! Imagine a hexagonal prism – it has a hexag...

I love the center of this snowflake, I just wish I found it sooner. This is a fantastic example of layered geometry in the center, but also a textbook example of sublimation. It doesn’t take long for ...

This is something special. It may have been difficult to notice the prismatic colours in the fully focus-stacked version of this snowflake (seen here: flickr.com/photos/donkom/55032219125/ ), but here...

Happy New Year! I feel like I need a vacation from the holidays. Not that it’s a bad thing, not at all – many wonderful visits with family, friends, and traditions kept alive, new ones made (duck is ...
