| Comments: The hand of Jack Frost
has fascinated us ever since there were panes of glass on
which ice crystals could form when temperatures dipped below
freezing. As with cloud formations, one's imagination can find
images
of all kinds in the patterns created by ice crystals. There
are mountain
ranges with jagged peaks, faces, fantastic plants, cascading
stars, and so on. Always, there is the beauty of the complex
formations of the
ice crystals themselves. In this photograph, a winter's
sky behind a pane of glass adds many hues of blue created by
the Tyndall effect of the ice, and of the sky itself. |
