This is just plain beautiful, no matter which way you slice it. Using the magic of time-lapse photography and microscopy, Vyacheslav Ivanov captured the formation of those ice crystals we call snowflakes that caused so much grief in the northeastern US over the past several weeks.

Mesmerizing, captivating, pick your adjective, the time-lapse will have you glued to the screen and help you to remember that this crazy world we live in is beautiful from the smallest scale on up.

Beautiful! I tried to copy the URL so I could post it on my website, but it wouldn't copy. I guess Vimeo isn't the same as Youtube. That's a shame. It's just really beautiful!
