The Snowflake

This was done by Canadian photographer Don Komarechka.
He admits snowflakes are an obsession, and he even has a book featuring them.
He does have a lot of 'models' in this part of the world!

This picture is the result of 2,500 hours of work spanning across 5 years. There are over 400 unique snowflakes, all accurately measured and scaled, so they are in relative size to one another.

More info here.



Some of the detail


Beats my cutouts!

Re: The Snowflake

Did you notice that most of them have 6 'spokes'.

Re: The Snowflake

There's a type of mathematically produced picture which is produced by repeating the same procedure over and over again as is the case with a snowflake. These are called Mandelbrot diagrams and are also beautiful.
