Reversed granulation is predicted by numerical simulations and has been observed in the wings of chromospheric lines. Here we present reversed granulation in high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution, extracted from the photospheric Fe I 7090.4 Å line core intensities, once taking into account the velocity effects. Correlations with the continuum are studied in terms of smoothing, time delay and temporal evolution. The latter appears to be superimposed with an oscillatory signal that suggests the presence of gravity waves in the mid-photosphere.
