Emanations From a Vortex?

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

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  At the top we see two examples of what I call orb veils, which are seen here from an unusual angle. The main part of the photo shows lots of crescent shapes, which are arranged in a pattern that exhibits radial symmetry. It is as if these crescent shapes are emanating from some vortex in the center, where we some strange orange misty thing.

See here for other examples of this strange effect, which also show this type of radial symmetry.

Orb Crescents in Perplexing Patterns Showing Radial Symmetry

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

The photos below were taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. Each of these photos will show the strange things I call orb crescents.  Very strangely, each photo will show these strange objects arranged in a pattern known as radial symmetry. Radial symmetry is the type of symmetry shown in a starfish or in the sections of an orange when you look at an orange that is cut in half.

Here is the first photo. Notice how the inner part of all the orb crescents is pointed away from the center of the photo.

Here is the second photo. Again, notice how the inner part of all the orb crescents is pointed away from the center of the photo.

Here is the third photo. Again, notice how the inner part of all the orb crescents is pointed away from the center of the photo.

See this link for 5 other photos showing the same thing (and even more clearly) -- orb crescents arranged in a pattern showing radial symmetry.

Radial Symmetry of the Orb Crescents

Photo date: September 12, 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 here the strange, inexplicable things I call orb crescents. Note that the orb crescents are arranged in a kind of pattern showing radial symmetry, like the pedals of a sunflower, or the wedges of an orange. Each of the white round sides of the crescents is facing away from a point in the center. It is as if they are emanating out of some kind of strange vortex in the middle.  See here for other examples of these orb crescents arranged in a radial symmetry pattern.

Orb Veils, Orb Crescents -- And a Luminous Winking Face?

Photo date: September 3, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background,  We see two different examples of the strange wispy things I call orb veils: one white, and one orange.

A closeup of part of the photo shows a cluster of mysterious orb crescents. We also see what looks rather like a strange luminous winking face, one with a smile that includes two teeth.

I can imagine no possible arrangement of water drops or light that would cause crescents like this to appear in such a compact cluster. See my posts labeled "orb veils" and "orb crescent" for many similar photos.

The Veils and the Vortex

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

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. We see two strange phenomena documented on this blog: what I call orb veils (shown in the top of the photo), and what I call orb crescents (shown at the bottom of the photo).

Note that the orb crescents are arranged in a kind of pattern showing radial symmetry, like the pedals of a sunflower, or the wedges of an orange. Each of the round sides of the crescents is facing away from a point in the center. It is as if they are emanating out of some kind of strange vortex in the middle.

See my posts labeled "orb crescent" for 31 photos of orb crescents, and see my posts labeled "orb veils" for 44 photos of  orb veils.  See this post for 2 other photos of orb crescents arranged in a pattern of radial symmetry.

Orb Crescents Display Radial Symmetry

Photo date: July 23, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background.  We see the strange things I call orb crescents. If you look closely, you can see an astonishing pattern in the crescents. The round side of each crescent is facing away from the center, which has no crescents. This is a pattern called radial symmetry. You see the same pattern made by orange wedges if you cut an orange in half , except that in that case the round part of each wedge is facing away from the center of the orange, and in this case the round part of each crescent is pointed toward the center.

I saw the same thing on April 6, 2015 (as noted in a previous post). Below is the photo taken on that day.  Again, we see radial symmetry.

We basically have two wonders here: the very appearance of these crescents (which should not even be showing up in photos of ordinary water drops), and their arrangement in a pattern showing radial symmetry (something extremely unlikely to occur by chance).

A Mysterious Crescent Coordination

Photo date: April 6, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The remarkable photo below was taken while simply photographing water drops falling against a dark background. We see the same extremely strange  "orb crescent" phenomenon shown in several posts I have labeled "orb crescent."  I see some 22 orb crescents. What is also remarkable is the "coordination" we see here.  Note that every single one of these crescents has a "mouth" pointing away from the central part of the photo.  The crescents are arranged in a radial pattern, like the petals of a sunflower.
