Frozen Soap Bubbles - so beautiful

Soap bubbles blown in freezing temperatures turn into stunning ice crystals.

Hope Thurston Carter captured the images after

blowing bubbles on several freezing days in Michigan.

Temperatures between -9 and -12C are ideal for creating the ice bubbles.

In the midst of one of the most severe winters in modern

American history, the 52-year-old, of Martin, Michigan,

got the idea after seeing similar pictures on the internet.

'I was instantly curious and ran out and bought some bubble solution

so I could  try this myself,' she told HotSpot Media.

'I found out very quickly that blowing bubbles in the winter and

trying to  photograph them is not as simple and easy as it looks!'

Still weather with temperatures between -9 and -12 degrees Celsius

is ideal for creating the ice bubbles.

On such a day, Hope ventures into her back garden with a bottle

of bubble mixture, blows a flurry and, when one lands intact,

runs to her camera to photograph it as crystals spread.

Nature's colors: Golden sunlight makes this frozen soap bubble

look like a priceless artifact

 

Shapes: The incredible patterns in the bubbles form

as ice crystals spread across their surfaces

 

Reflections: This remarkable ice bubble looks like

a frozen planet hanging in starless space

Inner glow: A mysterious-looking red light shines from within this bubble of frozen soapy water   Golden: The play of the light through the frozen bubbles is one of the most interesting aspects of the shots
