When I was at school, I was taught that no two snowflakes were identical. I remember being quite overwhelmed by that idea. In art class we drew imaginary snowflakes and water crystals. Sure, every pupil’s drawings looked different, but how could every single snowflake of the zillions that fall from the sky every winter be different?
Over the years, every time I found myself in the midst of a snowstorm, I couldn’t help but ponder the idea of all those unique snowflakes, and my fascination grew into a hunger to find out more.
It so happened that, one day, I came across Masaru Emoto’s intriguing books The Secret Life of Water and The Hidden Messages in Water—the way I view and think about water changed forever.
In his books, Masaru Emoto not only takes the reader on a wondrous journey about water, but also gives a photographic insight into the life of water crystals. His photographs of water crystals are truly amazing and captivating.
While you may not be familiar with Masaru Emoto’s work, I’m almost certain that you find some appreciation for the beauty of the following icy photos, I captured while out tramping:
A spring day at Lake Angelus.
Zillions of melting water crystals at Lake Angelus.
Iced over Lake Peel in Kahurangi National Park (click the photo for an enlarged view).
What looks like some painter’s abstract artwork, was created by Mother Nature. Defrosted and refrozen ice sheets formed these beautiful patterns on Lake Peel (click the photo for an enlarged view).
A close-up view of the above shot. I call it “Dancing Water Spirits” because the lines and patterns remind me of all kinds of creatures. What do you see? Do any of the spirits captivate your imagination? (Click the photo for an enlarged view.)
