[michaelwj]

Pareidolia, often manifested by the appearance of faces in everyday objects.

Here is the baboon that lives in my floor:

Great idea. I see such faces all the time. But there are none in my gallery; I'll have to go a-seeking.

Photos of rocky cliffs and black and white photos of grass lawns are great for spotting what is now called "Pareidolia", a newly made-up word BTW.

I must admit I didn't see the face in this until someone pointed it out to me.

Would it be a (very 3D looking) cats face Keith?

You're driving me crazy Keith! I see a few eyes, a few smiles... where is it!

I see a crocodile in Keith's shot, (but I've been watching grade D sci-fi movies).

There's a head there that is a bit triangular and threatening ... sort of like something out of one of the transformer movies.

Definitely not why I took the shot though!

So I guess I'm not the only Long who sees robot faces in buildings.

And who hasn't seen all sorts of baleful grins in the headlights and grilles of old autos?

I see a cross-eyed tiger.

And sometimes they're rather menacing.

lovely floor!

it's not a baboon. It's a proboscis monkey

 

[Pherdinand]

i see not faces, but...well, the other side, everywhere.
In the desert...

at the bottom of the sea...

as the hero in Quake says, "Your face...your ass... what's the difference..?"

 

[Pherdinand]

this is also not a face but full (small) figure
only noticed way after the photo was made
