Elegant Geometry

always find the most beautiful snowflakes have a large center that acts as a focal point, and this one is no exception.

The “geometric” center is accented by a more organic, circular plate sitting on top of the branches which you can see formed underneath it. I’m not sure exactly how this particular structure is created, but it adds a very lacy look to the snowflake.

You might also notice a large number of small circles spread across the branches. These circles are tiny water droplets that collided with the snowflake as it fell to Earth. They almost look like tiny impact craters.
