Trying my hand at some landscape shots! 😊
You know I scream in my dreams like an animal
I know it feels like it's wrong to be something else
We know those thoughts live with us
sunk down, them nerves much thinner
I crawl, you sob
No sanctuary found
When daylight finally falls
Until the morning comes
My eyes can't see
But I can feel
What is it?
Whenever the sun gets obscured by the clouds, the humans step back.
But there are people who are curious and stubborn, and want to figure out how things work, even risking their life in the past.
Meanwhile the Galileo’s Middle Finger is exhibited in the science museum of Florence... Clouds will never win over the light ;p

A 4:30am alarm with a quick stop at the Dunkin drive-thru got me to the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning in time to experience what it takes to unfurl, inflate and fly a hot air balloon. It's been years since I've done this and it was a beautiful morning to be amongst all the dedication and skill these crews have.
On another note, felt like it was time to update my profile pic. As much as I liked the old one, it looked more like a high school yearbook pic at this point. Lol!
Reflections of some of the buildings of the Institut für Physik (institute for physics) at the technical university in Darmstadt, Germany. This shot was too good to pass by. It may look like there a lot of notes here, but they are in fact the windows frames (danke Sabine für den Wink).

I love when I capture a snowflake that makes me think “starburst”, and this one most definitely fits the bill. It’s a beautiful crystal on many levels, so please view large!
This snowflake had humble beginnings as a simple plate, but immediately after growing beyond the very center, it becomes a mystery. The star-like shape is on a different level that gives way to ridges running down the branches, very reminiscent of a “skeletal form” type crystal which is rarely seen. The top plate’s growth is hindered by the bottom plate’s dominance, creating a framework that is supported by the ridges as they continue between the two layers of ice towards the middle.
The branches are also peculiar, right near the center, it’s as if branches tried to form, but fused back together into a full plate which would label it as a “sectored plate” type crystal. These types of snowflakes usually have clearly define lines running 30 degrees from each corner where the “branches” meet each-other, but here that’s replaced with pairs of small branches that appear as twins at the 30-degree offset mark.
The outer branches make this a “broad dendrite” crystal with the trident tips, which likely formed as the snowflake began to fall to Earth and entered a layer of more humid atmosphere. There are many classifications for snowflakes, but few of these crystals belong to just one category of growth. There are layers of complexity and dynamic shifts in atmospheric variables that make snowflakes change from one pattern to another. Personally, I find that if these patterns shift and the snowflake retains its symmetry it becomes among the most beautiful snowflakes I capture.
This image was shot at roughly 8:1 magnification and is a combination of 35 separate images focus-stacked together. As with all of my snowflake images, it’s photographed outside on a home-made black mitten and shot entirely handheld. The handheld process is essential for me to work quickly and get the best images of the snowflake before it starts to fade away, and it allows me to rotate the camera around the snowflake as the center of rotation quickly. This is needed to hit the “sweet spot” for lighting where the ring flash reflects as glare back to the camera and illuminates the flat surface of the snowflake. There are a lot of variables that need to come together quickly to make an image like this possible!
If you’re curious about all types of snowflakes and how they form, or if you just want to learn all of my techniques in-depth to create images like this yourself, you’ll absolutely want to pick up a copy of Sky Crystals – www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - 304pg hardcover book that covers everything you could ever want to know about snowflake physics and photography!

Just my luck! Not many snowstorms create colourful snowflakes, and when they do they are usually smaller hexagonal gems. I was thrilled to encounter this vibrant flower in a slightly large crystal!
The colour here is well understood, but still magical. It’s not colour in the same sense as you would paint with (the paint would absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, you see the reflected light), but rather generated through optical interference. This is the same physics that generates colours in soap bubbles, but in a snowflake is often much more structured.
One way or another, a bubble forms in the ice. The thickness of this bubble dictates the thickness of the ice on either side of it, and shifts in this thickness will change the resulting colours. Light bounces off of reflective surfaces, but a snowflake is ice, not a mirror; some light still enters the snowflake and reflects back off of the additional boundaries between ice and air. When light passes through a denser material (ice), it slows down, and when it reflects back out, it speeds up again. This is critical. If the distance traveled through the ice is small enough, the two rays of light will rejoin, but half of it will be “out of sync”. This causes some wavelengths to cancel out while others are added together, generating specific colours from otherwise white light. Very similar principals apply to sound waves and interference.
Once the bubble is completely enclosed, things can still change. Water molecules can break away from their crystal structure (sublimation) and re-attach elsewhere. This might slightly change the thickness of the ice in certain areas but in a gradual fashion. I suspect this is the reason for the gradient from yellow to magenta at the tips of the internal “petals”.
The central bubble here is fascinating for other reasons as well – just look at the outer edge of it. Notice these little “nubs” in each corner? Imagine the snowflake being just that big. Those little nibs would be the last elements to stay open to the outside air before shifts in temperature and humidity allow the outer edge of the snowflake to become whole again. What’s interesting here is that a snowflake typically grows fastest where it has the greatest access to water vapour – the corners. Why then did the corners take the longest to close up? Moreover, why did the middle of each prism facet also have a nub, which continued to progress a line-like bubble that eventually evolved into a sectored-plate design?
It’s a beautiful physics puzzle and fun to spend some time imagining how and why it came to be.
Shot on a Lumix S1R with a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens. I’ve used a lot of ring flashes over the years, but my favourite is also one of the most affordable – the Yongnuo YN-14EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1462725-REG/yongnuo_yn_14e... . It’s better in many ways than Canon’s own MR-14EX II, and it’s what I’ve been using to shoot the snowflakes in this year’s series. For more tips on snowflake and general macro photography, you can also check out my upcoming instructional book, Macro Photography: The Universe at Our Feet - skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un...
For those curious about how the book is progressing? Coming along nicely! Most of the book is just undergoing revisions and grammar checks but there is still more work to be done. I appreciate your patience. :)

I was one of those kids who actually liked going back to school. It was a place for hands-on discovery. For Macro Monday's theme: back to school
...but then I said, "In that frame of reference, the perihelion of Mercury would have processed in the opposite direction!"

Sixty Degrees. That’s the angle for all of these edges, give or take based on the fact that the snowflake is photographed at an angle. Physics at work, yet many people consider snowflakes as a creation of God. It’s amazing really, that the same object can be described by some as evidence of a Creator, while others use the exact same object to prove that the natural laws of physics make our world what it is.
Very few things can take equal sides like a snowflake. I have a side, but I don’t need to express it to express my fascination with our interpretation of the world around us. The real magic here is that we, as human beings, see this snowflake as beautiful. I don’t think many people would argue against that. That begs the question however: what is beauty?
Beauty doesn’t exist on its own. A massive organized collection of water molecules? It is just a thing, a (mostly) inanimate object when we see it. How do we perceive this as beautiful? It’s not the object that contains this value, it’s our perception of it. One could say it’s all in our heads, and I think they’d be right. Something is only beautiful because we say so, collectively or individually it doesn’t matter. So then, what is beauty?
It’s a deep question, and one that every person might have a different answer to. My answer reflects on the larger world around us. We see geometry as standing out from chaotic nature. We admire patterns. We adore symmetry. The most symmetrical face with chiseled lines might be perceives by many as being beautiful, but so too will a wrinkled old smile with the history of the world written on it. Beauty comes in many forms, based on how deep we look.
When I dive into the details of a snowflake, describing all of its features and how they came to be, I hope I add to the beauty. In the opening words of the documentary series Forces of Nature, narrated by Dr. Brian Cox, he says “the world is beautiful to look at, but it’s even more beautiful to understand”. Understanding the depth of beauty only makes these tiny sky crystals even more beautiful, and these posts are often aimed solely at this.
See the slightly brighter center? There is a hexagonal twin plate on the reverse side of the snowflake. The central “dot” shows that this was from a column that transitioned to plate-type growth, and the forward-facing plate gained dominance to grow branches. It was slow-growing which provides a more geometric profile, with extra complexities in the lower left – look closely and you’ll see signs of another plate running in parallel in certain areas.
But all of the science, all of the logic, have a hard time explaining beauty. Whether or not there was a master plan from God to put this snowflake in front of me or if it was just the natural chaotic physics of the universe, doesn’t really matter when we internalize our appreciation of the results. No matter what you think, this snowflake is beautiful.
That is the beauty of humanity.
P.S. if you want to comment on this image, please do so in a way that does not take sides on religion or science. We ALL have our opinions, let’s just keep this one human, okay?

The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
This extraordinary little ice object appeared 2 days ago overnight.
There is nothing above it to drip and cause a stalagmite, and I can't imagine what physics caused it. The last 3 pics are the second day when it finally melted .
Fast with Physics was a capture that I made because to two young girls were having such a great time. Their joy and enthusiasm captured me immediately and it was something I needed to capture. It took me back to my youth. The Fair occurred 7 months after I moved to Jackson. It had lived in Houston Texas and had been to the Houston Live Stock and Rodeo several times. It's a huge exhibition of everything Texas, outside to the State Fair in Dallas. It had every carnival ride and game you could imagine, livestock show and barbecue that would satisfy even the finicky barbecue eater. However when I got to Jackson Mississippi their fair was perfect and a American experience. No flash, no huge crowds, and plenty of hospitality. It reminded me of the fair and carnival experience of my youth in the south.

A cloud is a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. A cloud is also a visible mass attracted by gravity (clouds can also occur as masses of material in interstellar space, where they are called interstellar clouds and nebulae.) The branch of meteorology in which clouds are studied is nephology or cloud physics.
