In the Crystal is the Knowledge of You...

Posted by Eric Fry (Houston, TX, United States) on 24 December 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.

Taken two days after our recent snowfall, these frost crystals were growing off of the edge of a table in East End Park. A little touch of White Christmas for those of you in the warmer climes...

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. Your comments and support this year have been a great blessing in my life, and I look forward to another year of sharing photos with you all.

My Warmest Regards,
Eric

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,
Eric

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

This is an incredible photo Eric. Well-processed, too. If you're doing this work with point'n'shoot, then IMO it's time to take advantage of the low prices and move up to DSLR. Have a very Merry Christmas, and a New Year filled with blessings!
