Wow! Very cool macro. At first look I thought something was on fire.

I've always been fascinated by the texture of spray insulation. Your title is equally funky!

Well done, John.

@susale @satinscape @yogisue @cejaanderson @deu49097 @tristansmum The insulation seeped between some old planks on the back wall of the neighboring building long ago. Weather desiccated it to the point of it wearing away, revealing the teeny, honeycombed interior.
The title refers to some nearby penciling scribbled onto the wall: feet of width? Dunno. I was just surprised to find that Windows 7 Character Map app contained a "⅞" character....

@jrambo001 I haven't got 7/8 character! But it took me back to our old money, pounds shillings and pence where items used to cost strange amounts eg 1/3d...pronounced one and thruppence...I loved it!

@yogisue the "⅞" is from the Arial font, near the bottom of the listing, just before the Greek & Hebrew symbols/letters.
