Winter-cloud Face

Ah, those pesky clouds of winter: flat layers of darkness. What are they still doing in the sky above me in late April?

Offering me a face, maybe.

A face easier to see in real life than in a photo, as is often the case. Something to do with the contrast, maybe? Anyway, here’s the key:

  • 1 points to the eyes
  • 2 points to the non-distinct nose, or at least to where it should be
  • 3 points to the lips

    Thanks for the arrow picture. Now I see it!

    Last night I was watching a David Suzuki program about humans recognizing faces. It is so hard wired, that we see them even when they aren’t there!

      Judith – 🙂 Yes, when you consider how many of the things that want to eat us have faces, it can be good to over-generalize!

    You sure worked your subconscious on this one.

  4. Points for me — I saw it before I looked at the number-labelled photo. An arresting expression that could be developed into a story if one were myth-making or even anchoring existing myths into the present. I think this aspect of storytelling has been neglected, probably because it is so ephemeral. Hard to forget, sometimes, however. Like this one.

      Laurna – 🙂 It is a monstrous face, worthy of a place in somebody’s myth for sure.
