High-resolution spectra of plage regions and neighboring quiet regions in three photospheric lines were obtained using the Sacramento Peak Tower Telescope. The observations were made in plage regions of a relatively high magnetic field, showing large differences between the line profiles of quiet and plage regions. It appears likely that the magnetic field is stronger in the intergranular lanes than in the granules, and as the fields are stronger in the intergranular lanes, the latter change much more than the granules. Canopy type fields of flux tubes, which are rooted in the intergranular lanes and have a merging height that is not much higher than the height of formation of the observed iron lines, could be utilized to explain the observed features.
