The Orb


The designers for the Summer House catalogue thought they’d captured the magic and majesty of what was originally called the Garden Shed perfectly. The out house building had had a new lick of paint, and powerful new light bulbs fitted throughout.

The photographers came one slightly cloudy night of a Full Moon and took a couple of amazing photos.

One of the photos captured what looked like an orb, which seemed brighter than the Moon, but considerably smaller.

The photo shoot’s director said it was Venus… but it was far too large, and it should have also appeared in the other photos as well, if it was.

It wasn’t the orb that caught my attention, though. It was the figure of the Victorian woman standing behind the plant on the balcony. Nobody else can see her… but I can.

    I don’t see the plant on the balcony but I think I see her and I defintely see the guard standing on the roof with his rifle. Very strange photograph…Is this part of the mansion TL ? VK

      It is, VK… it’s what used to be the Garden Shed! 🤣
      The guard was a bit of a surprise to me!

    Love the ex-garden shed Tom! Amazing how a make-over can transform the humble garden shed into a Mansion-like building 👷‍♂️ 😀 Ibthinknthe apparent guard on top is your inner security system manifesting itself to protect you from the strange woman behind the plant and the inexplicable globe in the Mansionally-garden shed!

      Yes, as sheds go, this is rather grand. You may be right about the Inner Security Guard. Not sure about the globe, but then, I’m not sure about a lot of things. 😊🤣
