SNOWFLAKE PHOTOS & DRAWINGS

SNOWFLAKES GEOMETRY DECODED.

The Drawings I produced here are all copyright images from Ghislain Bonneau at gbphotodidactical.ca They can only be used as a reference and for Education or for drawing and coloring them on your computer for your own Elevation. The Base forms can also be used as a starting point to make your own Drawings designs. My Drawings of the base form of Snowflakes are NOT to be used in books, Magazines, or any other publications or on a Web page without my explicit written permission.

All Snow Flakes Photos on this page where taken from SnowCrystals.com and I have the permissison to use them as long as I mention that I took them from their website.

I did crank up the resolution a bit and adjusted the clarity of those images and sometime I adjusted the saturation and contrast, and I also straighten the snowflakes and re-sized all images so that they would be all the same size on my website, but they are still their images and so please respect their copyright at this link.

Like crop circles the base geometry that compose SnowFlakes are quite amazing in a sense that it is nature that creates them and their shape and size depends on many factors like, Temperature, Humidity, Wind, Air density, Altitude and so on. Most of their designs have things in common, like they are mostly made from Hexagon patterns and 6 fold geometry. The difference in their details and complexity vary greatly since that there is never one snowflake alike and their never will be one either, they are all different from one another. There is actually about 84 different TYPES of snowflakes and you can see some of them in this TABLE and the Snowflakes Morphology Diagram below from SnowCrystals.com

...

In my drawings I tried to dismantle their basic geometry to show you how they are formed and when you will see the geometry involved in their formations, you will find them as amazing as I do for sure.

Most snowflakes are very symmetrical since that all branches where formed in the same weather conditions and at the same time, but there could be some difference between the elements of each branches in the same Snowflake. But what about their design ? Later on by drawing them I tried to understand more of their magnificent complexity, and what causes them to be so symmetrical and so I tried to find out what they are all about. I am still searching the answers to that but I think that it has something to do with magnetism at the quantum level, because in a water molecules you have 2 Atoms of Hydrogen that are Positively charged and 1 Atom of Oxygen that is Negatively Charged. So I think that when the water molecule reaches the freezing point that they always reacts the same way and therefore their branches are spreading in the same manner or patterns of the Atoms. So the resulting snowflake has always a basic Hexagon patterns and 6 fold geometry. The great variety and diversity of their forms like I said above depends on the weather conditions at the moment they where formed. So their only similarity and that is common to most of them is only present in the Hexagon patterns and 6 fold geometry, and the rest of their patterns is caused directly by how fast they where formed and are only different because of the different atmospheric conditions present at the time of their formations. Et Voila !

What do you see when you look at this Drawing?

Probably just Lines and Shapes, Me I see the Blueprint Image of the Quantum Magnetic Mechanics at work. It represents the movement of atoms and Protons and Electrons and Magnetic lines formed by their Attractions and Repulsion. It REPRESENT Exactly how a snowflake is formed. It is a VIEW in the inner workings of the Quantum Universe.

Very Cool isn't it ?

Enjoy and Share..........Ghislain.
