From grandmother’s archives. Photo from a wedding, bride and groom are unknown to me. Date also unknown.

One of the first spreads from a book from the 1940’s that seems to be a copy of the Psalms in Hungarian, typed up on a typewriter and bound in a hardcover. Found at Winnipeg Public Library summer 2011. The paper seems almost transparent, the ink having bled through. All the pages are numbered in red pencil, and the psalms’ numbers are circled, in red pencil also.

“Time-lapse movie of a growing snow crystal that was cycled back and forth between roughly -15 C and -12 C. Sectored plates grew slowly at -12 C, while at -15 C dendritic arms spouted quickly from the tips of the plates. The total elapsed time for the movie is 70 minutes.” From SnowCrystals.com.
