The solar limb has been studied visually and photographically in the light of Hα and the combined results are reported. The appearance of a spicule changes with wavelength settings. Effects due to changes of spicule velocities with height and opacity-wavelength relations are indicated. A number of bright spicules seen in the wings are identified with bright mottles seen in the line core. The dark band appears between Δλ=± 1.0 Å and Δλ= ±0.70 Å. Examination of a small mottle cluster in a series of photographs taken in steps from Hα+ 0.85 Å to Hα+ 0.10 Å leads to a three-dimensional model of a typical mottle cluster.
