Three powerful stadium floodlight panels retrofitted with cylindrical lenses illuminate a gigantic slab of snowfall in the Davoser Alps at nighttime. Seven ice-fishing tents host a total of sixteen high-resolution cameras on arrays to stitch a 400MP image over a sixty-by-fifteen meters field of view. The picture shows a first deployment of this novel field measurement system that is purposefully designed to film millions of snowflakes falling together in slow-motion. The picture is taken with the onboard camera of a small DJI Mavic drone; which is used to calibrate this large-scale cinematographic setup by mounting a spotlight. How come those millions of snowflakes dancing through the turbulent atmosphere display large-scale slender columnar structures and voids, such as emerging in front of the rock formations? Illuminating these mesmerizing snowfall formations falling down the Swiss-alpine night skies will shed new light on these dynamical mysteries of frozen precipitation.

Beneath the velvet sky, Darina glides over the winter's frost, her evening dress capturing the moonlight and casting a celestial glow on the snow. Each movement is a delicate dance with the night, her silhouette a contrast of darkness and sparkle. This collection marries the tranquility of a winter's night with the glamour of a gala, creating a stunning visual symphony that whispers tales of elegance and mystery.
I added this one because it was a close up of the snow on the can (bin) lid and you can see the individual flakes to some extent, particularly in the larger sizes. They are your traditional 6 sided crystal structure snowflakes and they are flat and glassy, catching the light. The lid itself is about 20 inches (50 cm) accross. The snow was about 10 inches deep.
