"Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind"
- Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley, 1925.

How can something be so mind numbingly amazing, and spirit free-ing-ly beautiful?!
I tell you, the way I feel when I see these things, is the reason that I am alive.
Nature is the best thing to have happened to man.
And man is the worst thing to have happened to nature.
