Wet and Weird

Photo date: February 15, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. We see some of the strange things I call orb crescents (one of which is orange), along with some equally hard-to-explain ring-shaped objects.

A Crowded Water Drop

Photo date: January 31, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see a water drop that seems to be crowded with orbs.

Half-Face in the Mysterious Crescent?

Photo date: January 4, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We some of the inexplicable objects I call orb crescents. If you look closely at the one on the right, you can seem to see a kind of half-face in the crescent, a face with a large mouth, half of a nose, and half of a left eye.

I have 99 other photos showing these inexplicable crescent shapes, all taken while photographing pure, clean water.

Pure Water Yields Puzzling Photos

Photo date: January 5, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  The first one shows a bunch of orbs in a water drop. The one on the left corner deserves a close-up.

Here is that closeup of the top left corner. You might call this little guy "Mr. Rainbow Face."

The same day I got this photo of what I call an orb veil. This one was quite big, with a height of about 6 inches. Note the yellow crescent shape and the blue crescent shapes in the water drop above the orb veil.

It is actually rare for me to get one of these orb veils with a shape like this. I far more often photograph them appearing as strange polygons, as shown in this composite visual, and the photo below from December 26, 2015. 

Eerie Faces in the Inexplicable Crescents?

Photo date: January 5, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see some mysterious crescent shapes.  We can almost seem to see eerie faces in the top two orbs.

Strange But Pure Water Filled With Moon-Like Enigmas

Photo date: January 4, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see some inexplicable crescent shapes, what I call orb crescents. See here for many other examples.

Another photo from the same day showed the same strange orb crescents, along with two ring-like objects like those shown here.

Wings of an Angel?

Photo date: December 10, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. Besides quite a few inexplicable crescent shapes, we see near the bottom some strange thing that looks a pair of wings, one of which has a preternatural blue color.  The wings of a miniature angel, perhaps?

Orb Crescents Are a Perplexing Sight

Photo date: November 2, 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 one we see many of the strange moon-shaped objects I call orb crescents. One of the crescents is orange colored.

On the same day I took the photo below.  Now we see two orange-colored orb crescents.

To see more of these strange objects, see this composite photo.

Congruent Orb Veils, One With a Rainbow Spot

Photo date: November 12, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see one of the strange objects I call orb veils. Typically appearing as closed polygons with lots of spiky points, these strange objects have a very distinctive and unusual set of characteristics that are very hard to explain (all conventional explanations don't work, as discussed here).  One of the strangest things about these orb veils is their tendency to appear in congruent "stacks," in which the same shape is duplicated.  We see such a stack here, with one orb veil above another orb veil with the same shape.  The objects appeared at the photo edge. The top one has an unusual rainbow colored spot.

Below is another orb veil I photographed on the same day, along with some of the equally baffling objects I call orb crescents.

Orb Crescents Play "Mountain Climber"

Photo date: November 4, 2015.. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see some of the strange crescent-shaped things I call orb crescents, which are shown very clearly in this composite photo. We also see a column of mountain-shaped objects,  one of the many forms of what I call orb veils. What is strange is that the two shapes seem to be interacting. It looks almost as if the crescents are trying to climb up the slope of these mountain shapes, like some Alpine adventurer.  I count six "mountains" and seven "mountain climbers."

Orb Crescents Mingle With an Orb Veil

Photo date: November 2, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see two types of hard-to-explain anomalies. The first is a mysterious type of object I call an orb veil. The one here has the spiky outer points that so often are seen in orb veils.  Near this strange object are quite a few equally hard-to-explain objects I call orb crescents, one of which is orange (about 15 others have a white color).

See here for 86 photos of these strange orb veils,  and see here for 61 photos of orb crescents. I have five previous times photographed orange-colored orb crescents, as you can see here.

Inexplicable Orb Crescents

Photo date: October 20, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see more than 30 examples of the strange objects I call orb crescents.  One of them is blue, and another is orange.  See this link for 55 other photos I have of this strange anomaly.

The Orange Orb Crescent and the Infinity Symbol

Photo date: September 14, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The unaltered photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see three anomalous things here. The first is the orange crescent shape.  See my posts labeled "orb crescent" for numerous other examples. Then there is the strange infinity sign that can be seen at the center of the photo.  In the background we have one of the strange objects I call an orb veil, although it appears much more dimly than in many other photos I have of similar objects.

Mysterious Crescents

Photo date: August 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water against a dark background. We see the strange things I call orb crescents, which look like crescent moons.  For many similar photos, see my 38 posts labeled "orb crescent."

Juxtaposition of the Marvels

Photo date: July 27, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing pure, clean water drops falling against a dark background.  We see in the background one of the mysterious objects I call an orb veil. Apparently in front of the orb veil  are some equally mysterious objects I call orb crescents.

This orb veil has some of the typical characteristics of an orb veil. The illustration below shows some of the typical visual features of an orb veil. See my posts labeled "orb veil" for photos of orb veils that have these characteristics. See also my posts labeled "orb crescent" for many photos of orb crescents.

Nonconformist Orb Crescent

Photo date: June 15, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while I was photographing pure, clean water drops falling against a dark background. We see the mysterious things I call orb crescents.  Almost all of them are white colored, except for one that is orange colored.  The orange color is an inexplicable as the crescent shape.
