Nature's Patterns - the beauty in the details

Lots of communities are dedicated to nature's big pictures, the breathtaking vistas and scenic landscapes. Those are all great, but I find the details of the natural world to be just as much of a draw.

From ripples in sand, to whorls in bark, this community celebrates the beauty in the little patterns and textures of nature.

The frozen condensation on my liquid nitrogen tanks gets so wispy and delicate. It moves like hair blowing in the wind.

I hope yours are in better shape than mine, at least. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Cryogenics is the bulk of my job, so it's just part of the daily business. It's pretty dull, so I like seeing the designs in the ice crystals. They're different every day from temperature and humidity changes and how leaky things decide to be that day.

All I have are 2 smaller Dewars. LN2 is fun to play with, not to mention making ice cream!

Lol I'd love to try making my own Dip n Dots! ๐Ÿ˜†

The pics are on one of my 240L dewars.

I want to do the dry ice "butterflies" with coins in a block of dry ice as well.
