Do you see anything in this picture other than the graininess (over sharpened lol)? I will tell you the story before I tell you what to look for.
My cousin painted that mural on a building in a historical park where many, many Irish Immigrants died. Coming from boats riddled with Typhus, Scarlett Fever and other awful diseases the place was landmarked as a quarantine station in the mid 1800's. One boat in particular, pictured in the mural, the Looshtauk, arrived with a large number of souls seeking a new life in this strange new world. Many of them never made it off the island. Mass graves are everywhere.
Now, one year after painting the mural, my poor cousin ( who not only painted but worked on the island as a security guard) died of complications of a massive stroke at the age of 50. (He was blessed with not only our family's Irish heritage but our very uniquely disturbed cardiovascular systems. It was of course, a surprise to all of us.).
So on this June evening, not so long ago, I decided to get some shots of the island shooting over 50 frames. I wanted to capture my cousin's mural of the very island I was standing on. This was the only shot I got with this particular "anomalie". Can you see it yet? There is actually two...one on the mural itself and one where the Looshtauk was probably anchored that many years ago.
I do not pay much attention to the notion of "orbs". As a photographer I can usually relate it to shooting into the light, something in the frame being out of focus, or dust on my lens .. something like that...but I shot 50 shots and this is the only picture where I find these circles. Is it not ironic that the biggest one is smack dab on the island my cousin painted in his mural?
I am not going to get into any discussion on orbs. I am not going to profess to be a believer or a nonbeliever. .. but I will offer some links for you to do your own research. All I have for you is this little photograph and the story behind it. You decide for yourself.
All is well.
