Check out this snow crystal photo gallery. Capturing the fleeting beauty of snowflakes.

These pictures show real snow crystals that fell to earth in Northern Ontario, Alaska, Vermont, the Michigan Upper Peninsula, and the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. They were captured by Kenneth G. Libbrecht using a specially designed snowflake photomicroscope.

Hi,
Water crystals is a subject I love so I thought I'd share some of what I know about it. Many years ago I found some reasearch from a scientist from Japan called Masaru Emoto. He has worked out a technique to get water to form cryastals like snow and photograph them. What he has found by doing this is amazing. Water can be influenced by many different things which changes it's crystaline structure. A good example of this is by writing a word and sticking it to a bottle of water (facing insidde so it can "see" it). The water will then change crystal structure to harmonise with the word on the label. If the word was positive eg. love the crystal will be symetrical, detailed and beautiful, but if the word is negative eg. hate then no crystal forms and it's a horrible mess. This also works by showing the water pictures or playing it music.
On this planet we all have one thing in common, we are all 70% water. If water can be influenced in this way then so can we. To find out more about this goto:

There is lots more interesting experiments and lots of beautiful pictures.
This water crystal had a label saying "love and gratitude".
Happy :)
