Seeing tiny snowflakes embedded in ice makes me wish I still carried my iPhone macro lens with me. This photo is a bit blurry, but you kinda get the point. The macro lens would have really zoomed in on a couple of the snowflakes. These snowflakes are sitting on a fence right by the Glen …
[Update: Apple has explained they do have a heated roof. Blair Kamin of the Chicago Tribune reports: “The roof has a warming system that’s built into it,” Apple spokesman Nick Leahy said. “It needed some fine-tuning and it got re-programmed today.

(via wooster collective) I’ve thought about shooting this with dripping rainwater at the Western brown line stop, but Michal Koh√∫t’s …
Comic books that take place in the snow are so cool. I love arctic adventures. Two G.I. Joe comic books take place in Antarctica. One from 1989 (G.I. Joe Special Missions #20), the other from 2006 (G.I. Joe Special Missions “Antarctica”) The 1989 comic book is really cool, because the interior pages are printed on …

(Photo courtesy lahp) What if garden hoses sprayed snow instead of water? During summertime, you can quickly cool off. But then the snow melts. The real value of the snowhose is during the winter.
