Hi Howla
Hope alls good in your world and thanks for joining the thread!
I remember being around my nan’s when I was a little girl and looking at the Cottingley fairy photos and wondering whether they were real or not.
I agree there is elemental activity to be seen in the photo titled The Fairy Bower. A few years back, I examined the set of five photos but they are tiny compared to the dimensions of photos we take today. Photos taken with today’s cameras, in normal view, can be three times the width of a wide screen monitor – and that’s before they’re enlarged to double that to get a good look at the detail. The Cottingley photos have been reproduced so many times and one of those copies on a computer screen is so small, just a few inches in length, and they go incredibly pixelated when enlarged, so I couldn’t get a decent look.
If you click
this link which is described as Frances Griffiths’s official site, the photo you’ve posted here is there in its entirety but it can’t be saved as an image to examine. The area that most drew my eye (it's not shown in the above photo but on that site) is at the top edge of the foliage, on the left hand side – “see-through and cloudy”, in cases like this, can be a very apt way of describing how nature spirits manifest in photos.
Nature spirits, just like Elsie and Frances, certainly love a bit of mischief – they like to mimic things and ‘get in on the action’ so I wasn’t surprised to see and feel some there, lol. (One page 1 of this thread, in post #6, is a demonstration of mimicking, in a photo of a fairy statue whilst incense was burning.)
I’ve got friends who are fairy artists and have created some stunning paintings, some of them based on their own nature spirit photos – and they’ve taken photos of their artwork – and...ta-da! – when they’ve later examined the photos, nature beings have manifested in the shots too!
Hope you have a great day.
