Unbelievable photographs of snowflakes from Tokyo’s recent snowstorm taken with iPhones 【Pics】

Japanese Twitter users capture incredibly beautiful snowflake shapes.

Tokyo experienced snow in November for the first time in 54 years on Thursday and an army of amateur photographers were out in force to capture the moment.

▼ This unbelievable photograph taken on an iPhone shows the incredible detail in each snowflake, giving us more proof that no two are alike.

▼ Here is another gorgeous photograph of a myriad of snowflakes on a car hood.

The snowflakes look so perfect, as if they’ve been handcrafted or drawn by some professional artist.
