Isn't pareidolia a wonderful thing?

Well seen, even if the colour is wrong  :)

You have a fertile imagination, Sir! (I think that's what Bill said, too.)

I saw Ganesha right away. But I had to let Wikipedia tell me about "pareidolia."

Perhaps this image helps to explain why a photographer originally from India spends so much of his life in Iceland.   ;)

I wish I had pareidolia.
But I only have nephelococcygia.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Bill - what a great word! Thank you for feeding my logolepsy.

Eric - perspicacious you are, as always.

The example from New Hampshire, the "Old Man of the Mountain" is shown only on a postage stamp, not an actual current photo. Why? Because the "Old Man" fell off the mountain and died several years ago. Apparently he couldn't "Live Free."   ;)
