Natural art

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Here is a triple post today!

I was pulling some pictures off my camera and found some really cool ones I took randomly off the window.  I love art, especially natural forming art. 

For example, the latest frame capture was off a window and it was -20′Celcius outside:

Frozen leaves  Iced leaves

(two shots with different shutter speeds)

The ice is completely natural, there was no human involvement to make this happen.  It is very humid in the Ottawa/Gatineau area and tempuratures can drop very suddenly in a matter of hours.  When I looked at this window in the morning, it was wet and there was a lot of condensation.  Usually an inch or two of ice will form near the bottom.  When the tempurature drops suddenly, the humid window will freeze up and create really amazing patterns.  In this case, “leaves”.  It is just some crystallization, but I still think it is awesome no matter what randomly forms.

On the other end of the window, I got some neat vines growing:

(interesting vines growing…)

And finally, for that zoomed-out look for the non-believers:

I have taken so many random pictures related to nature, mostly in subzero tempuratures, all of them I think are pretty awesome…and all natural!
