Here is another picture I took at 509 Market street. Another orb can be seen in this shot.

That's dust.

Possibly, but it's odd that I caught only one speck of dust and not many.

It's dust on the lens or sensor, not in the air. Go take a picture of a bright blue sky and you'll see it again if it's still there.

Those pictures are at least a year old, so I doubt that'll be a sure fire way of testing.

Sensor dust normally only shows up in photos shot with a small aperture, typically f/8 or smaller. When I shoot at f/1.8-f.7.1, sensor dust never shows. It's always there, however, because a simple curves adjustment in Photoshop helps me pinpoint it. Even if it's not visible to the naked eye I like to Photoshop out all dust. I've never had lens dust appear in a photo... ever.

AnimeSpirit, sorry I was so short and quick to dismiss, but it appeared to be dust to me at first sight. Perhaps had I been there and known a bit more about the scene I'd have been in a better position to say one way or another.
