This is the last of the ice and frost pictures for now, but this one is here for a good reason.
It shows a different part of the same car as "ice art 1". Why such differences on one car on the same day? I can only guess. This shot is of the windshield, which was on the north end of the car. The other was a nearly vertical side window and this was almost a 45 degree angle. Because crystal nucleation on the surface defects is also important, that may play a role. A car windshield is subjected to many impacts and after several years (16 for this one) it will be full of tiny surface craters. Each of these can influence the crystal growth in some way. The only thing I know for sure about all the crystals from this day is that on every car window the growth was downward from the top edge.
So in the end I have no explanation for these delicate feathery things and can only admire their beauty. The mysteries of crystal formation are a hidden art, closely guarded by those devious little water molecules. At least I can post them for you to enjoy also. |

Hello Bob! Amazing idea, amazing art work, amazing shot. very original effect. Good picture, very good. Good luck!
I believe science has quantified and noted the forms in a mathematical way...as they always tend to do even unto Chaos. I have seen similar programs on computers back in the mid 1980's which in DOS allowed for more user input and one could see what if any affect they had on the change in the patterns.
It was an interesting series for sure. I enjoyed them all Bob!
