Symmetry and Intricacy

Symmetry and intricacy.
Structure shaping light.
Beauty in a stark winter.

Symmetry and Intricacy grows unique snowflakes and illuminates them in varying colours. The shape of each snowflake is a reflection of the environment it grew in; the temperature, humidity and pressure all impacts its growth as it is falling through the atmosphere.

The play of light through the snowflake is at its best at high resolutions. If you have a reasonably powerful device I recommend 4096px. You can also zoom in to see fine details even at lower resolutions.

Some hashes have a dynamic environment which grows snowflakes with chaotic shapes.
