Orb Veils Look Spiky and Spooky

Photo date: October 28, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  In the first photo, we see an example of one of the strange objects I call orb veils, which often have spiky points along their outer edges.

Another photo from the same day looks similar. In both of these photos we see the internal circles so often seen in orb veils, consisting of two or more concentric circles (as in these photos).  In the photo below we seem to see a congruent stack of two orb veils with the same shape, as in these 19 photos.
