... Capturing the fleeting beauty of snowflakes ...

Snowflakes are temporary works of art.  After  just a few short minutes 
on the ground, a fallen snowflake will lose its ornate structure,  its 
unique pattern that will never again be repeated.  Photography allows 
us to  preserve a few of these minute masterpieces and to examine their 
form up close.    Below are some examples of snow crystal photographs 
from around the world.

The  Rasmussen & Libbrecht Collection

These images are the result of a  collaboration between Patricia 
Rasmussen and myself.  I created a special  super-high-resolution 
photomicroscopy apparatus designed especially for snow crystal  
photography (see Photographing  Snow), and Patty used it along with her 
photographic talents to capture these stunning  Wisconsin snowflakes.  
If you like these pictures, you'll really enjoy our new book.
