Stacks of "Orb Veils"

Photo date: April 17, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while simply photographing pure, clean water dripping against a dark background. The photo shows what this blog has shown 4 times before: stacks of mysterious "orb veils."

The photo (taken on the same day) seems to show the same phenomenon. The only difference is that while the view below is "bird's eye," above the stacks, the view above is facing the side of the stacks.

Notice the strange little pointy spikes that occur in these shapes. I count more than 30 of these.
The "veils" in the bottom picture were about 4 inches wide.

Strange veil shapes like these have been reported by other orb photographers.
