For the photographer inside you

First ever pictures of snowflakes taken (in late 19th and early 20th century) by Wilson A. Bentley, who is also known as Snowflake Bentley. I honestly don't understand how nature produces such beautiful symmetries (even after reading wikipedia), but thankfully, understanding is not a prerequisite to appreciation.

Enjoy!

Nature's display of perfect symmetry amongst others of her wonders is also very humbling.
