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.

Hi Math, I like your photo very much. It is the sort of scenery I really enjoy looking at. The feel of big space and vast sky complimented by nice clouds adds to the overall enjoyment of your photo. Many thanks.

Prachtige omgeving daar, wat een ruimte!
