A snowflake that doesn’t know what it wants to be! This intriguing snowflake has a shape that is battling between branches and a solid plate shape, and you can clearly see where the lines of battle have been drawn. View large!
As you’ve seen so far in this series, the tiniest snowflakes always have a way of being enigmatic and interesting. Maybe it’s the lack of complexity that allows us to focus on specific features, or maybe it’s that smaller snowflakes contain smaller details that we can more easily see and be curious about. In this case, there’s a mystery to solve!
The upper-right-most branch holds the story of the branching while the lower-left tells us how the crystal stays as a plate. In the former, we can identify a crystal split. The snowflake divides itself into two new planes when a cavity forms in the ice, a very common occurrence. What’s odd here is that the bottom plate grows the branch at the tip, but the rest of the bottom plate falls behind the top plate in growth. This might be a case where the knife-edge instability comes into play.
I don’t fully understand the physics (I’m a geeky photographer, not a physicist), but when a snowflake is incredibly thin, the growth can accelerate. If the bubble/cavity that cut the snowflake in half changed its thickness just at the tip, it could propel the tip into a branch-like growth without causing the same rapid growth to the rest of the crystal facets. It’s unusual, but not the first time I’ve seen it – something must behave slightly differently at the corner to evoke this behaviour.
On the other side of the snowflake, we see a very solid hexagonal shape, but the ghosts of branches are hidden closer to the center. How does this happen? Again, I’m not entirely sure. I love these mysteries! I believe the best explanation would be this: As the branches began to form, the growth of the top plate was keeping pace, likely due to the direction that the snowflake was falling. The same physics that made the branch grow faster than the edges of the underside are at play, but with more water vapour building up the top plate, it kept pace with the branching, and eventually overpowered it. As soon as any one plane of growth as the advantage of growing farther out, it chokes out the growth of the competition.
Again, my ideas are just the theories of a man who has studied snowflake growth for the fun of it, and has witnessed many thousands of these crystals to see how they grow. It’s open to interpretation – and I welcome yours!
For more musings on snowflakes and the most detailed photographic tutorial on the subject you’ll ever see, consider a copy of Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - it’s a great winter companion for any photographer or naturalist. Winter can be more tolerable when you ponder the mysteries in a single snowflake.

The moor of Lostmarc’h on the Crozon Peninsula provides some breathtaking landscapes and seascapes. When I took this photo, it was a very dark, damp and desolate end of afternoon in December, and I didn't have much hope as I walked the moor towards the lone standing stone that remains of the alignment that once stood there, millennia ago.
I was quite alone, as the weather was truly miserable, but suddenly, a miraculous swath of sunlight cut through the thick clouds and shone over the ocean in the bay, providing a very nice background. I quickly set up an off–camera cobra flash on the ground to provide some fill–in light on the stone face, and took the shot.
Thirty seconds thereafter, as on a well–set timer, the clouds closed in again and the light was gone. It began to rain (again), and I could but walk back to the car.
This is a recent black-and-white interpretation of the original photo. I will also, some day, upload the color one taken in December 2018.

When I took this photo about a year ago, I had no idea of its significance other than a leaf from a tree had fallen and had been stuck between the steels of a fence.
I did not think this photo would come to life one day in my dream. It was not about the fence itself but rather the lack of it.
I dreamed the other day that all the fences in my backyard were dug out and removed leaving nothing but deep trenches along the property line. I think there is a very powerful message behind this image to what my dream represents.
My book of dreams tells me that the fence represents some kind of barrier or obstacle. Since it is at my backyard, most likely it is at home. Its removal means a division or obstacle is removed. Now it is open for many interpretations? What is your interpretation?
The name “Tybee,” like the history of the Island itself, has many interpretations. Most historians believe “Tybee” is derived from the Native American Euchee word for “salt” – one of many local, natural resources that played important roles in the Island’s history. Spanish explorers were searching for riches in the New World, and in 1520, Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon laid claim to Tybee as part of Spain’s “La Florida” –- an area that extended from the Bahamas to Nova Scotia.

Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".

Organized by two Presbyterian ministers in 1785 or '86, the first church was built on this site in 1793. The Presbyterian congregation moved nearby to Washington in 1820 and offered the property to the Methodists.

This is one of those images, I think, that is subject to the viewer's interpretation. I'd really love to know what anyone has to say or thinks about it. (:
Another lith re-interpretation of an older negative. I love how this one turned out, very colorful and nice tones overall!
The paper used here was ancient Revue BS 13 RC stock that was completely fogged. I couldn't even make a test strip as it would simply turn 100% black in normal developer. I ended up eyeballing/guesstimating the exposure time instead.
The print has a slight texture of microscopic black dots all over it. You can hardly see it on this upload.
I like this print much better than the direct negative scan I uploaded to Flickr a while ago.

The famous enface photography of Nick Cave by Anton Corbijn (at Rotterdam's museum)
I took these two photographs of it from the extremely right and left angle.
I was fascinated by the original photography and was trying to find out why... then... those angles opened up the magical layers of it.
Damp and misty mornings make very good seittings for woodlands.
i try to replicate 'what the eye can see' because with a single exposure cannot do this, however good your camera is.
The human eye captures so much detail, highlights and contrast at the same time.
I use PS for what it was meant to be used for, and that is 'to replicate what the eye can see.
My interpretation of the blue ZET "Uspinjaca" funicular railway from my hometown in Zagreb, Croatia. Apparently the shortest funicular rail in the world. It connects the urban city centre with the historical upper-town. It is now a protected monument, still in operation. (more on wikipedia).
This is my first larger scale LEGO model. The tracks and upper station are supported on Technic beams. A single M motor connected to a train speed regulator runs both spools through a worm gear. An automatic switch installed under the tracks switches direction.
The cars have a hidden boat weight to decrease jittering and lower the center of gravity.
Only LEGO parts were used, including the string / cable.
This is an artistic interpretation edit. The original shot was taken at midday in Statthes harbour on a chilly grey day. This year I have taught myself luminosity masking in PS and decided to let my imagination run wild as I love this composition.
This early morning scene was terribly backlit and I initially thought the file was destined for the trash. Recently, I decided to try another approach in processing the image. I abandoned any traditional aviation photography conventions. Instead, I decided to seek an interpretation that represents the feeling I had of this "Hawg" as is came out of the morning sun and cut loose with its 30 mm Avenger Gatling cannon. The backlighting of the smoke and the pastel colors of the morning held sway in my minds eye - thus the strong purple hue.

I almost didn't put this up. The angle of attack is all wrong given the background bridge. It is A.I.'s interpretation of what I wished to achieve. Not bad, but maybe I'll wait for DALL-E 4
This small collection is made of different interpretations of the same image. I was experimenting with arty looks.
The source image is an in-camera multiple-exposure of beach loungers at Koukanaries Beach on Skiathos in Greece. This subject gave me a lot of fun when we were there earlier in the year. The beach is very popular with the tourists as you can tell from the loungers, but rather than having row upon row of tourist hotels behind it, it has some protected pine forests. I just hope they haven’t burnt down in a wildfire!
The multiple exposure is made of two ICMs using horizontal and vertical swipe movements. The colour version of the scene is the closest to the original. It’s only been lightly processed with Nik Color Efex.
The monochrome version is for the Donnerstagsmonocrom group today and was created using black and white solarisation, also in Color Efex. It’s been lightly toned in deep blue (selenium). Quite a lot of work went into it (messing around and tweaking this and that) trying to get some interesting arty textures from the underlying image.
The third is a triptych using Nik Analog Efex. I’ve never really used this particular filter before (multi-lens) so it was a bit of an experiment. It was quite interesting to try and create a balanced composition with the rotations and stretches - I’m not sure I made it there but this is where I abandoned the endeavour. You can play spot-the-original-source with each of the blocks I guess .
Thanks for taking the time to look and read. I hope you enjoy the images. Happy Thursday :)

One of The Four Seasons by contemporary American sculptor Philip Haas at RHS Garden Wisley, in Surrey.
Nearly 5m tall, the fibreglass figures are 3-D interpretations of paintings by 16th-century Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. The figures represent Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter in human form, decorated with exuberant arrangements of seasonal fruit, vegetables, flowers and crops.
Interpretations and contemplations, be free and let the thoughts wander. Like footsteps in the sand, forge your own path, be in the moment, for the winds of change will shift the sands and the moment will pass.
Artist Jon Laidacker composes pictures within pictures in Interpretations of Oakland, located at the heart of the Oakland community on Forbes Avenue. The first layer of this piece is a depiction of the Strand Building, the very site of the mural as it would have been seen in the 1930s. Superimposed on this black and white image are the portraits of two of Oakland’s key historical figures: Fred Rogers and Mary Schenley.
The prominent image of Fred Rogers, better known to the world as Mister Rogers, occupies the center right portion of the mural. From 1968 to 2001, Mister Rogers broadcast his legendary children’s television program from PBS station WQED located on Fifth Avenue in Oakland, only a short distance from the mural. In 1889, Schenley bequeathed a large portion of her family estate overlooking central Oakland to the City of Pittsburgh; it is known today as Schenley Park. Finally, a collection of snapshots give us a view of contemporary Oakland and its varied residents and attractions. From the businesses lining Forbes Avenue to the Carnegie Museums, the universities and the restaurants—Oakland has it all, and it’s all here in the mural.
Une interprétation photographique de la chanson de Maxime Leforestier « Comme un arbre dans la ville «
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Je suis né dans le béton
Coincé entre deux maisons
Sans abri sans domicile
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J’ai grandi loin des futaies
Où mes frères des forêts
Ont fondé une famille
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Entre béton et bitume
Pour pousser je me débats
Mais mes branches volent bas
Si près des autos qui fument
Entre béton et bitume
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J’ai la fumée des usines
Pour prison, et mes racines
On les recouvre de grilles
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J’ai des chansons sur mes feuilles
Qui s’envoleront sous l’œil
De vos fenêtres serviles
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Entre béton et bitume
On m’arrachera des rues
Pour bâtir où j’ai vécu
Des parkings d’honneur posthume
Entre béton et bitume
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Ami, fais après ma mort
Barricades de mon corps
Et du feu de mes brindilles
Comme un arbre dans la ville

A photographic interpretation of Maxime Leforestier's song "Like a tree in the city"
Like a tree in the city
I was born in concrete
Stuck between two houses
Homeless homeless
Like a tree in the city
Like a tree in the city
I grew up far from the forest
Where my forest brothers
Founded a family
Like a tree in the city
Between concrete and bitumen
To push I struggle
But my branches fly low
So close to the cars that smoke
Between concrete and bitumen
Like a tree in the city
I have the smoke from the factories
For prison, and my roots
We cover them with gates
Like a tree in the city
Like a tree in the city
I have songs on my sheets
Which will fly away under the eye
From your servile windows
Like a tree in the city
Between concrete and bitumen
I will be torn from the streets
To build where I lived
Posthumous honor parking lots
Between concrete and bitumen
Like a tree in the city
Friend, do after my death
Barricades of my body
And the fire of my twigs
Like a tree in the city
