Argon ice

 * Reason:It's a fine picture that nicely illustrates three common phases of matter in an interesting way (even if argon gas is colourless). It's not the prettiest but it is elegant.

 * Comment. Nominated before, less than two months ago Featured_picture_candidates/Argon_ice, and failed. Nothing much has changed since then, and renomination comes too early. --Dschwen 10:32, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think that caption is correct. You can't see gas; that "vapor" pouring out to the right may be little liquid drops of argon, or even little liquid drops of water condensed from the air (as you can also see around the tongs). Either way, not a gas. Read about this common misconception, and also see Condensation. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2007-06-22 13:44Z
 * I believe some gases are visible. For example, chlorine gas appears yellow/green.  However I don't think argon is one of those few that are visible in a gaseous state. -- Moondigger 02:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, sorry for being confusing - some gases have color, but argon gas doesn't. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2007-06-24 12:59Z
 * Oppose per the above discussion. - Mailer Diablo 02:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
