Just how often do you look at the natural structures and see anthropomorphic shapes? I frequently do. Branches of trees, patterns of flowers, old stumps and all sorts of things time and again remind me of human faces, figures, body parts and animal forms. But when I take pictures of those, most people don't see what I see. Or they see something different. Imaginations must differ from person to person, but there should be something in common too.

It would be interesting to share such visions. I would like to invite everybody to post their images with anthropomorphic (or zoomorphic) connotations here and either explain the nature of the imaginary connection, or wait until the others try to explain it. What do you think? I guess, the black and white images are better suited for it, but color would be fine too.

Here is the photo of mine taken a couple of days ago. I've called it "An autumn dance of the wild rose". It reminds me of a dancer with the raised hands. I consider it to be an easy one. Do you see such a form here?

So, it looks like I'm the only one here suffering from a serious case of pareidolia. Ok then, how about a new bout? Does anybody see a shape of a dinosaur here?

Give us some time to scrounge our collections, I'm pretty sure we'll come up with something.

No, you're not the only one And sure, there's a dinosaur

Here's a BIG bird hovering over a house

Definitely a bird! Too white and fluffy for a dragon.

Some sort of hunchback of Notre Dame

Definitely a dino! And you're not the only one, I have several. This one, for example:

Soulless gaze indeed! To me, it looks reminiscent of an old WWI gas mask. Those empty eyes convey an uneasy feeling if you look at them long enough. Thank you for your contribution!

Great image! Very creative. Small things like this often go unnoticed. It takes a good eye to spot them.

Here we go- Beware the Owl

An Eye Of Stone

Several exposures blended together: door itself, the lock with the handle, the hinge, the peephole, the door number.

Sometimes I give my pictures nicknames, like ’sitting witch rock’...
Or maybe I just have too much imagination?

I believe, there is no such thing as "too much imagination". Although "an absolute lack of imagination" does, unfortunately, exist. Creativity spectrum is skewed somewhat.

Thank you for the excellent photo! To me, it looks like a Stone-giant from the Tolkien's Tales lost in deep thoughts. It would be interesting to know what he's thinking about.
