Snow flakes

Oops, in the midst of my excitement to post all the photos from my trip, I left out this particularly interesting one. Have you ever wondered why the "snow flakes" design in your windows wallpaper is of that asterisk-like design?

Well, I observed this in Turku. the snow in helsinki is ice-kachang... but those in Turku... they have a shape. take a look...

The white thing is a snow flake. Does it resemble that of your windows wallpaper? Interesting... i'm apologetic for referring to snow as ice-kachang.
