Have you ever noticed that we seem to be so well equipped with the ability to see faces that we can see faces where they don’t actually exist?
I know this is a knot in a tree but I can’t escape the feeling that the tree is looking at me…..the Spirit of the forest?
And we don’t only see faces in living organisms, we see them in rocks too…..
There’s a Stone Age dolmen near where I live. It’s like a huge three-legged table with vertical stones each about 3 metres tall and a 5 ton enormous rock laid on top of them like a table top. I took a lot of photos when I went to explore it but this one particular shot looks for all the world like the profile of a face….perhaps in the same way that owners come to look like their dogs this rock reflects the face of one of the people who created the dolmen?
When I was a kid (Younger than I am now 🙂 I used to stare at a wooden plank wall for hours looking at all the different faces. Thought it was just me. The knots in the pine planking used to make the most interesting bearded shapes. Thought I was the only one. I feel much better now. Dan
