Yes, I know, I kind of answered my own question but besides being an anomaly, what do you think this is?
It was taken a week ago, it was snowing, obviously, but I've put a completely ordinary photo taken few seconds apart to show you what the photo was supposed to look like.

Yeah,you know what it is .... It is ....

[Helen of Annoy]

exactly!

[Professor T]

What flavour was it?

[Sean93]

It's behind the bushes and on the top right it looks like a set of copper colored cabling, possibly part of a larger piece of equipment.

[Colonel Rhuairidh]

Woo! now that's cool. Ectoplasm.

[the L]

Hot air from mouth of photographer perhaps?

[spartan max2]

it looks like snowy mist stuff that gets blown in the wind to me. Atleast that happens during winter here sometimes

you think I’d stick my finger in ectoplasm?
Yeah, I would... but let’s not talk about that right now.

No, the huge white semi-transparent thing in the middle of the first photo. The cable at the right is just the cable, and leads to a pole where it merrily meets other cables.

You think? *wags tail* Looks like tall, thin ecto-person with one bony wing visible

I’m not that full of hot air, you know. The night was not especially cold, only snowy, and I was breathing, surprisingly, the whole time, yet the anomaly is only in one photo. Besides, hot air, from my mouth or from the house (also, the door closed) would look more cloudy and less... ectoplasmy.

It does happen and I have it in yet another photo. This thing is not that. It’s not smoke, not snow, not a reflection... but something it is. I sure hope it's some weirdness like ectoplasm, but I'm ready to accept sane materialist explanation.

Yup, you got yourself a genuine image of The Spirit of Winter there(and I think I see one of his minions running off in the background).



V.similar, n'est pas?

[lsra]

I won't pretend to know what that is, but it is a very cool picture!

The only difference is that the Spirit of Winter in your picture is reaching for the girl, while mine was apparently zooming away from me

No comment.

[Overdueleaf]

I am with spartan max on this..looks like a bunch of powdery snow that got blown in the wind to me... might not be What it is.. but that is what it looks like... it could also be car exhaust that has drifted over.

[JGirl]

looks like your breath being exhaled while taking the picture
