Figures and Faces






What I see in nature is always transformed in my mind to figures and faces. Any pattern I see, becomes a person or animal and often with faces. This actually has a name, it is called pareidolia. It is the reason we see things like the Man in the Moon and shapes in clouds. Pareidolia is part of a more general experience called apophenia, the human tendency to see patterns in random nature. But if you look at the above picture, tell me you don't see the figure with its head next to the window in the rock?
