Lacunosus, a relatively rare and short-lived cloud formation, takes on the look of a honeycomb pattern of round holes with frayed edges. It is formed when a layer of rising warm air and a layer of cold air come into contact with one another, causing downdrafts that push through the cloud. This classic example was spotted by Alexia's friend, Bob Hunter, near Lexington, Virginia, US.

Amazing shot! Beautiful!
So Cool indeed. The Rainbow was just the prize at the bottom of a Cracker Jack’s Box…. FANTASTIC!!!!
Laurence – thankyou so much, i’m very glad that you like my photos. The weather here is very extreme!
Regards!
Guilherme – another magical shot from you. You certainly get some fantastic clouds in your part of the world. Great shot! All we get here, at least where I live in Yate, 11 Miles NE of Bristol, UK is unending ponderous grey clag – with little else!
