Gorgeous shots! They look like glass to me. Amazing!

Those are really beautiful! I'm glad you included one breaking - I was going to ask about that. So do they break before they hit the ground or anything else? If they hit the ground do they make a noise? Makes me think they sound like xmas ornaments. :)

Neat! What kind of solution do you recommend? From the captions, it sounds like you weren't just using store-bought stuff.

I really wish I lived somewhere colder so I could try this one night.

It's pretty butt ass cold here today, so I might try it. Wish I knew about this back when it was 10 below...

Sorry, this isn't my site, I just linked to it. The text in the post is from the first image.

What a great idea. Thanks for posting. Have you seen ice ribbons? Next really cold, moonlit night, I'll try the bubbles.

This would be a good MeFi post, as well.

Wow! Things like this make me wish I lived in a climate cold enough to freeze things that fast. Then I come to my senses.
