Face in the Rock

Hi guys

Was browsing the pics from hellfire today and noticed this face in the rock. I've made the pic black and white and highlighted the face in colour. Ian I don't think you were alone! What do you think?

Here is one I found on the way up to the peak of Snowdon in the Summer:



We are hard-wired to pick out faces from random patterns and formations in everything we see, facial features are incredibly important to us so we are very good at 'seeing' them.

I believe they call it 'matrixing'... where we imagine we see a face.. but it's actually not..

Nice find though.. good to see you got your eyes open

Apparently this called Pareidolia. it is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse.

Famous examples include:

Obama Toast



Face of Mars



Jesus



Old man winter

And my personal favorite

I give you 'Jesus curtains'
