Taken in the 50's on slides
They look fake but are all real
This is the snowflake on my friend's coat that started it all
RIGHT ABOVE ON HER COAT SLEEVE***a few weeks ago a friend sent me a most geometrical first flake of the day in Ohio. It got me to thinking , yes when I was a little lady in Wva, I loved the heavens' flakes falling down upon me. I loved catching them on my tongue, making wet snowballs and snowmen- but I really missed their intrinsic beauty . so I went to studying and sure enough MSNBC had snowfalke slides frpm the 50-'s and I found some other slides and pictures at different speeds. The amazing part is THEY ARE aLL REAL FLAKES not reproductions like the ones on my Christmas tree. Real= Enjoy .. The black and whites are from the 50's and the newer ones are mostly photographs ..I have marked the one from my friend .Thank you for these and photogragher Nancy Rose as well and others.
Wow, they are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteExquisitely beautiful - and all part of why I love the Winter so, so much. Thanks for finding these to share with us!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAh, snowflakes are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved photographs of snowflakes and ice-covered trees. Thanks for sharing. Happy T13!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I have never tried to photograph a single flake - I will have to add that to my list of things to try.
ReplyDeleteWow ... all those are real?? I particularly love the first 'blue' slide snowflake and that slightly fuzzy white on black is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so difficult to photograph. I remember catching them on sheets of black card in my first primary school, and how wonderful it was trying to see all the different shapes before they melted!
Thanks for sharing these incredible images.
