Beauty of martensit

[vajo]

After making some pictures today i found a large amount of martensit crystals that reminds me of asteroids in the stardust.

They look beautiful.

 

So many similarities from big to small in the universe.

 

 

Did you see some similarities in your blades?

Dear Chris.

 

I confess that I am guilty of looking at cloud formations and defining them as hamon.  It happens quite unintentionally, just the other evening I looked out of the window and was heard to mutter, "Sudareba!"

 

I'm sure that I am not the only one..............I hope?

 

All the best.

As long as there are no black holes Chris. 

[Ken-Hawaii]

Yeah, beWARE of black holes on a blade!

For sure.

Geraint, I assure you I am one such.  I was only doing it yesterday and wished I'd had my camera with me to capture it.  I have some cloud/hamon shots in a folder somewhere I'll put up when I next find them.

 

BaZZa.

I do it too! Looking at the activities.

 

... and I’ve done worse. Not too far from my house, there is a road that must have had a very long ware, sorry, I meant pothole. Probably something dragged that dug into the surface. They’ve patched it up with black tar for about 500 meters. Well, every time I drive this road, I classify the repair as togari, choji, midare... yes, I’m crazy that way!

I have done this as well. I live on an island, and am struck by how much a cloud formation on the horizon over the sea resembles a hamon. Many times.

So do waves, mountains, & waterfalls.

 

 

      Perfect ashi!

 

[Surfson]

Many of the names of features of the hamon and hada are derived from nature.  So clearly what is seen in the sword has reminded our predecessors about natural things.  You guys have swords on your minds so much that nature is reminding you of swords rather than the other way around!!

Chris,

Your photos are fantastic! The first looks right out of a Hubble picture and the second could be from a Star Trek movie!

[O-Midare]

Chris, your second photo appears as if they are floating above the blade, simply amazing. Like meteors.
