My wife told me to immediately delete this photo when I showed her. Not sure why. Either is she, of course. Thus my reason for posting it. The bits of light are called Orbs. Orbs are supposedly the manifestation of spirits in the form of spheres. I think they’re just reflections from dust or in this case possibly ash from the fire or the many bugs. In any case, they’re interesting to some and an annoyance too most as it means a bad shot. Damn dust. Shoulda cleaned the lens before I took the shot. Funny thing is, the other ten photos taken in the same place within’ 10 minutes don’t have dust. Obon is a strange time indeed. PS: The photo was taken at our little one day trip yesterday to Tanba. I think we must have burned most of the forest that night. We set off the fire alarm. The fire department wasn’t too happy. Now what was the name of that shochu again?

Maybe the spirits were hot too and just needed to get outside. You must be logged in to post a comment. |
