how many faces do you see????




 This is one of those photos  one usually deletes, it does not show the image i was trying to capture of large, seriously large, icicles on the side of a road-cut.  That happens when one presses the shutter button on an cheap,old, digital camera while riding in a car that is traveling at 55mph, in a rainstorm and AFTER seeing the giant icicles.

But...big but....when i was previewing the images  i got, deciding which ones stay and which ones go, a voice over my shoulder remarked, "how many faces are in the picture?"  "Faces? what?"  So, i looked and it didn't take much to find a large Aztec warrior, in the center of the photo. after that i needed a guide, and my guide found 3 more.  Poor me i found no more.

 

 

 

 

Pareidolia is a phenomenon wherein people perceive likenesses on random images—such as faces, animals, or objects on clouds and rock formations. 

 

 Try as i might, I have never been very good at seeing those faces  or spotting those shapes everyone else sees.  Pareidolia  is believed to be a survival skill our early ancestors developed.
