I know we showed you a bunch of snowflake close-ups last year, but that’s the thing about snowflakes—no 2 blog posts are ever the same! This set was taken by Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov who came up with a clever technique to capture each tiny ice crystal using a $50 lens taped to a point and shoot camera. You can get the specifics of how he got the shots on his blog, and see more mesmerizing high-res photos of snowflakes on his Flickr page.
