They aren't on the lens - they are tiny particles floating in the air. That's why you only saw them there.L.

That makes it more mysterious, I think.<br /><br />Hilary,this cave didn't require any sliding through small spaces.

I love caves ... but really can't take clambering or sliding through tiny spaces to get to the next space. They are fascinating places ... I've been to the Cango Caves in South Africa - magnificent ... that's good you used your knowledge to add into your book - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691530149623240966.post-59337023341053878492016-08-22T21:14:11.864-07:002016-08-22T21:14:11.864-07:00Sorry Alex but that is not dust because these orbs...Sorry Alex but that is not dust because these orbs I have seen on different pictures taken at different places by different people. It is really...different:) I don't know why these orbs are here...it could be something reflective but you never know. I love caves and find them wondrous. I saw Lurgrotte in the Graz area and I tried to see these caves way up in the mountains but did a total freak out when I saw the stairs on the side of a cliff.
