Four Orbs Next to a Christmas Wreath

Photo date: December 30, 2014. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in New York (click it to see the full photo).


We see four orbs next to the Christmas wreath, shown in the closeup below. We can ask: what is the chance of this, according to the theory that orbs are just random specks of dust? We can divide the picture up into about 25 sections, one of which surrounds the rightmost wreath. The chance of 4 random specks of dust all being in that section (and nowhere else in the photo) is about 1 in 25 times 1 in 25 times 1 in 25 times 1 in 25, which equals the very low probability of 1 in 390,625.
