1st to comment! i love these things, it's not an optical illusion, but it sure is cool! they're snowflakes! i never could have guessed!

I knew it was a snowflake before i even saw the second picture. Too easy! But also very beautiful.

Also mistery is spelled wrong.

That's neat, they are snowflakes. i guessed right when i first saw the first pic. i love snowflake close-ups they're so pretty

Those are so pretty! I knew the first picture was a snowflake, but it could've looked like a strange pair of house keys. Those almost look unreal!

I live in Vermont, and we havne't seen enough of those this year *sigh*

So beautiful.

This was obvious the first time I saw it. SNOWFLAKES.

It is amazing to see the snow flake in its pure perfection

Was really easy to tell it was a snowflake, and mystery is spelled wrong

easy. snowflake

Snowflakes, and it's spelled "Mystery" :)

I knew they were snowflakes from the first picture.. but they are soo beautiful! they look like glass! amazing!

who ever wrote this needs a lesson or two in grammar and spelling...

gorgoues colors, yes that's purposely misspeeled. who cares about vurdlak's speeling? seriously guys......get over it. if youre going to comment, dont comment about misspelled words. comment aboutt the ILLUSION.

Fifth to coment
Kewl XD

ive seen some snowflakes exactly like those ones so i think those are fake! lol

cool pics :)

top one: stargate atlantis??????

Just like a fractal pattern! Very nice :-)

this is the first comment I ever made

very nice. snowflakes are awesome up-close

cool. i had no idea. i live in australia and there is not a single snowflake for 2000km. but the last ones were easy to guess.

I could tell that it was a snowflake. It really is a beautiful picture.

I love these things! I knew it was a snowflake from the first picture, but that doesn't ruin the fun of it! Even though it isn't a optical illusion, still lovely!

to the stargate person, just like top view of atlantis

This blows my mind dude!

to other anonymous stargate fan:
i've always thought from the beginig that atlantis was based on the design of a snowflake, i've tried to copy it in various things but it never worked... anyhoo, enough ramblings

WHERE do i post my photos of ice on my windows that turned out so good. now i have to stay and find out or bookmark for later then forget to do it. : )

ITs a water crystal experiment that exposes water in glasses to different words, pictures, or music, and then freezing and examining the aesthetics of the resulting crystals with microscopic photograph.

o, and there was me thinking it was a virus, it looked like the phage capsid with the DNA needle like object in the center... i think i have been studying too much bio

Cool. On the first picture, my guess was (go ahead, laugh) a few viruses attacking the cell membrane in an animal cell. (yup, i payed atention in 6th grade Science). I agree with the last post. I enjoy biotech and biology. That's just how i think i guess...

Okay it was obvious they were snowflakes, but they are perfect in form??? That threw me off for a sec.

ok..niki.."Mystery" is spelt correctly
