Nucleation is a fantastically cool thing. All it takes to make beautiful webs of ice on unsuspecting windows is some cold temps, moisture, and little imperfections or particles of dust on glass. Once it starts, it takes on chaotic but mathematically predictable ways. And those ways are awesome.

Every photo on here, unless stated otherwise (i.e. if I borrowed some from students on study abroad trips), are mine. And yeah, fractals rock!
