      I recently submitted to the Gallery a close up photo of lacunosus. The event which the shot was taken lasted around 45 minutes for me and I didn’t see it from the start. Mid Morning had me outside doing chores when I looked up and saw a fallstreak in the middle of a field of lacunosus. By the time I got my camera on it the lacunosus had dissolved and the fallstreak  filled in the empty spaces. But..to the west a thin layer of stratus was condensing out of the blue. As soon as it had become substantial, it appeared to start showing signs of the lacunosus patterns. The event was drifting  to the east,,directly toward above my backyard. Chores delayed.

      The first two shots below show the stratus and wide views. Then I went in for some close up. Hope You Enjoy!june1017b3678z

      Thanks for posting your series of beautiful Lacunosus images here, Michael. Diving into their coolness is especially refreshing on this hot summer day.

      Very nice. I’m thinking … where else have I seen this pattern in nature?

      Thanks for sharing Michael.  Chores can wait but lacunosus will dissipate (famous chinese saying).

      I think they will also do very well in B&W.

      Thanks All for your kind words..If I recall corrctly lacunosus is actually cold air falling..which mite explain our rather cool June in the desert Keelin.Some day  I will process these in B&W just to see what happens Hans. But for now ,being rendered naturally as an work of Mother Nature connects  for me. George,Bee hives may be more disciplined and electron microscope shots of bone material  are  not widely viewed but there are two natural phenomena that could resemble lacunosus. I’m thinking even cell structure of some kinds of plants as well as..on the greatest scale we have…the structure of the universe..might resemble lacunosus..!!

      Took another look at the days shoot, 152 pictures taken of the lacunosus event. And yes, way more taken in Black and White than I recalled. Thats a problem when a cloud event waltzes thru the sky. It can be so dramatic that it stuns the brain. I’ve learned to let a shoot rest for a while then revisit the photos with a fresh perspective. So, below are some of the best Black and White Shots I took of The Lacunosus Event.

      Great B&W’s Michael! Especially the second one I like for its unaerthly spatial structure.

      Fantastic, Michael! Each one, a honeycomb of delight. Hard to choose a favorite here, but I find the nearly 3D spherical shape in image four of the B&W series particularly magnetic. I keep expecting it to take off on a roll. Thank you for sharing these with us.

      Funny, at the moment I posted my reply only two pictures in B&W were visible. Still my reply shows after the fourth. Now I must agree with Keelin about the fourth picture. Magnetic!

      Prompted by Hans’s reply, I returned to look yet again. And now the fourth is coming forth with even more dimension (4D?!) and what emerges is a close-up view of a lacy neckline and fingers holding the sphere. What I find most amazing is that despite the overall complexity of the lacunosus pattern, my mind can’t help but search for something familiar within. Michael, your series is now reminding me of the autostereograms (“magic eye” images) that became so popular back in the ‘90s.
