How stunning are these macro shots of snowflakes by Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov? His extensive series features a wide range of designs in the form of hexagons, triangles, branches and cylinders capturing nature at it’s best.
Kljatov constructed an add-on to his camera in order to obtain the insanely close focus and illuminates the ice with a flashlight. With this, he’s able to isolates single snowflakes and capture their unique and delicate beauty.

I remember catching a glimpse of a beautiful snowflake after falling down at the playground while in grade school. Fascinating indeed.
Are these real? I would really love them to be real… but they’re just so incredible that I can’t believe they are!
