The perfect symmetry of such random creations is amazing to me and I love these photographs. As I scanned down the page, I was reminded so much of a kaleidoscope and half expected the shapes to morph into new & varied albeit white & gray shapes.

Great photographs in their time and very innovative of Mr. Bentley while using some fairly unsophisticated equipment by our current standards.

Still waiting on some snow here ... so far it's been a no-show!

Beautiful - the level of detail when he caught them before the melt started is fantastic.
