an orb is a spherical body and this glass orb hangs by the window of stepson's home where partner and i spent the weekend as ivy and jack are home with him.
this was shot in colour. the weather outside was rather grey and gloomy and windy and cold. i think i'm staying inside for the next 6 months. :-)
thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are genuinely appreciated. it's catch up time again and i shall catch up with your albums as soon as i can.
I love how the bubbles in the glass are mimicked by the fabulous bokeh! i have to say I am impressed with your knowledge of "O" words and availability of subjects! too! Such a pretty image!
Yes. I think older than Christmas ornaments the shine was thought to lure evil to it and the filaments inside to trap evil spirits and protect the house. Similar to a dreamcatchers web.
@bill_fe - no, no moisture, it's how the glass was blown methinks. this was shot in colour but because it was grey outside and from my vantage point (this was a lot higher) and the background for this was the grey sky it came out looking black and white. i etsooi'd it in ribbet and got this colour after a few clicks here and there. thank you, bill.
p.s. i think you can buy this from any wiccan store. our ex-daughter-in-law (they have just separated) is into paganism.
@bill_fe - do you want me to find you one? there's quite a few wiccan shops near me. i think dixie above said it right, it's a witch ball. it is to ward off a witch's spell. but you can't use it on me. :-P
hmmm...perhaps we can use that for the urban legends theme. i have one in my head that combines it with five plus two though but i yet have to find my props.
