Snowflakes, tiny jewels of ice

IndaMerit-Amun

Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds.There is a widely held belief that no two snowflakes are alike.

Snowflakes are little crystalline jewels, tiny flowering stars, fit to be worn by a queen.
Hans Christian Andersen was inspired by the little star shaped snowflakes to write his story, "The Snow Queen."

...The flake of snow grew larger and larger; and at last it was like a young lady, dressed in the finest white gauze, made of a million little flakes like stars. She was so beautiful and delicate, but she was of ice, of dazzling, sparkling ice; yet she lived; her eyes gazed fixedly, like two stars;

Hans Christian Andersen
