Advertisement Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Hi osscat, Take a look here Pariedolia Rocks. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
osscat Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted May 25, 2009 What is Pareidolia? para- something wrong, and eidolon, a ghostly image or phantom The tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the viewer; such as interpreting marks on Mars as canals or seeing shapes in clouds. pareidolia - the Skeptic's Dictionary - Skepdic.com For some reason, unbeknown to me, I constantly find familiar shapes, forms and faces in my images. Whether it is because I am subconsciously aware these abstracts are there which makes me take the photo or because some supernatural force manipulates the structure of the image once it is 'in the can' is not for me to say. In the rocks I see a dog - a leprechaun and several other forms which all have the bacic elements which form a face. This has been the theme of several of my recent posts.
