Des branches cristallines poussent autour d'un noyau de poussiere microscopique, formant ainsi des oeuvres uniques. Son poids etant insignifiant, un cristal de neige met parfois des heures a tomber, pour finalement atterrir la Ð¾u les micro-photographies de Patricia Rasmussen peuvent capter la beaute evanescente et la complexite de l'art de la nature. Le plus merveilleux, c'est la maniere dont les flocons de neige prennent des formes complexes et symetriques en l'absence de tout plan ou de tout code genetique qui en instruirait la construction. Comment en viennent-ils a adopter des structures si compliquees? Ð?u se trouve le genie createur qui concoit l'infinie diversite de leurs motifs? Pourquoi n'y a-t-il jamais deux flocons de neige semblables? Malgre ÑÐµ mystere non resolu, cet ouvrage captivant nous fait mieux apprecier l'intime beaute des flocons de neige et la variete de leurs formes.</p>
