Woo Woo is one of the topics that crosses the imaginary lines of our comfort zones.
In the continuum from strict, critical analysis <———–> to wide-open whacko, I haven’t signed up for a ride on a spaceship sight unseen, yet 🙂 but  I am mostly always fascinated by that which I cannot explain.  I am exhilarated by my peeks behind the curtain – which have occurred in many ways throughout my years.
One such exploration was down the trail of photographing orbs, spirits, lights…some thing at night.
After stepping into the void of separation from my marriage of 20 years, I spent a good part of that summer and fall wandering around my marshy neighborhood in the inky black evenings with my camera – crazy lady with a camera,  🙂 that was me.
One lovely photographer that I have come across focuses her blog on the phenomenon that I was hunting at that time. Â I love checking out this site, when I can: Â http://orbsdelight.wordpress.com
I had learned about the presence of orbs and such from my friend and saw that much could be seen through the inferred cameras with flash at night. Â It is ironic for me to be taking pictures as I am well-known in my family and friends to be impaired with a camera. Â Â i like capturing through my eyes, but the extension of extra equipment has always challenged me. Â I tell tourists who thrust their cameras at me that they would be better off asking elsewhere as I am hopeless, cutting off heads and small children as I squint. Â For me to capture anything unusual on the screen seems a mini-miracle in itself.
But this particular summer I didn’t care about my lack of skill.  My subjects didn’t seem to care either.  I was capturing the world unseen for my own enjoyment.  Things often appeared that I could not explain.
Two nights at the end of June 2011, this large manifesting light appeared in the same spot, two nights in a row. Â Never before or since have I captured anything this dramatic. Â This is the marsh behind my neighborhood.
Same shot: cropped close.
This is night two, in a bit of a fairy-like shape:
Here is an orb party I seem to have crashed:
This is a strange blue orb that I captured near my parents’ house in Northern Georgia:
Same shot: close crop.
And here is the phenomenon that I call spirit lights:
Be sure and click on these photos as they are hard to see unless a bit more blown up:
These shots are the highlights; to give perspective, dramatic appearances of large, vibrant, or unusual phenomenon were rare, but orbs and lights were present every night.
I haven’t any insight on what exactly I’m capturing with the camera here, but I find the process powerful and validating for knowing that the world outside our eyes and range of awareness most definitely exists.
Too woo woo for you?
