It seems like people often see things in the clouds or the rocks that look like something familliar. We might say "Hey that looks like Yogi the Bear!" Or may be something like "Doesn't that cloud look like the car in Back to the Future", or something along those lines of conversation.
Post up your pics that look like something else. I'll start.
Here's a rock formation in the South Platte of Colorado I took last year. Only when I got home & looked at the pic did I see the 60's girl. I cropped the pic for you to minimize distractions.
I think it looks kind of like Mary Tyler Moore or a girl from the 1960's.
Let's see what you folks have.

She's on the left, with her hand touching her chin, looking down & to the right. She has a big up-do hairstyle.
Here's a even more cropped version
Edit: the shot is just of her head & face.

I can see the dog and the raccoon in the first one, but the 60s woman must be hiding behind that big rock.
But how about this: Looks like my partner's about to walk into the mouth of a giant JTree Pirhana
Edit: Okay, I see the woman now. But I'd say the hairstyle is more Tabloid Alien than 60s human. But can you see the big dog below her?

Great additions! I love the big fish & the sea-horse/doggies.

Does anybody have a pic of the "black cat" on El Cap? It's over by the Tangerine Trip.

I believe that it WAS photoshopped, and then sent around the web as real.
No climber in his/her right mind would think that the cat formation is genuine.

My favorite is the "Little Rollerskater in Sequoia". That is so cool. So many other worthy pics.
Hey Bluering, you're right about the girl looking like an ayatolla or some turban wearing man with a beard. Funny how things change with a little new perspective.

I found this twenty-five-dollar word on Wikipedia:
Pareidolia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term pareidolia (pronounced /pæraɪˈdoʊliə/) describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- —"beside", "with" or "alongside"- meaning, in this context, something faulty or wrong (as in paraphasia, disordered speech)—and eidolon—"image" (the diminutive of eidos—"image", "form", "shape"). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia (i.e., the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data).
Bernard Madoff's nonsense blatherings induced a state of pareidolia in his victims, inspiring confidence in his non-existent investment scheme.

The reason why we see faces in objects is because we have a specialized area of the brain, called the infotemporal cortex, that distinguishes faces. In contrast, people that have damage to this area cannot distinguish faces. To them, faces appear as a jumbled mess. Crazy!

E took that photo up at Dairy Queen^^^. We could only see the second "whispering" face in the photograph... it wasn't visible looking at the rock in person for some reason.
To me it looks like the droopy-nose face is smiling and squeezing his eyes shut while getting a kiss on the cheek from the second rock .

i was kicked back in the tub,
under the influence of exertion-induced-exhaustion
after my day in the trees.
at the threshold i noticed an impending union,
or at least an optimistic pursuit of passion,
it appears that she's into
the irish. now i have a drinking
buddy to keep me mind company,
(once i climb down from the wagon,
that is.)
her womb is completely barren in this picture.
i bettcha if i check back in some time,
i'll find a new grain or knot or

Pareidolia (/pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant, a form of apophenia. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces, in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.
Kind of like seeing a spaceship on the moon, no?

Everything we observe with our senses occurs in time and everything we see exists in space; yet we can perceive neither time nor space with our senses, but only with the mind. Precision is also abstract; while we can see and touch things made with precision, precision itself can only be perceived by the mind.

Thanks for the thread and posts!
Interesting article at http://nymag.com/2015/07/neurotic-people-see-faces-in-things.html
For me, it's interesting in the way that our brains are adapted to form interpretations or beliefs that are not true, and how and why that happens. In the case of pareidolia, I think that humans have evolved psychological processes that favor our seeing faces in things as defense against hidden dangers - it's part of our advanced skills at agency detection. In the balance of false positives versus false negatives, the cost of a false negative (not seeing a potentially hostile face in nature, eg a predator or enemy) outweighed the cost of the false positive of seeing a face that's not there (praise Jesus!) to our evolutionary ancestors. Having an overactive agency detector improved our ancestor's fitness and was evolutionarily advantageous, so we find ourselves today with an evolved psychological mechanism to see faces where they don't exist.
We humans have evolved psychological processes that favor us forming false beliefs in particular ways, like this. Well no, this is the only one, dammit! :-) Or maybe not ...

Now bare with me
here we have two or three 'faces' at least. . .
One on the left is the kind of hard to define random yellowish, eyes high up. An
Un-consolidated 'nose, and lower a big smile in the same vien as th 'eyes'
And more 'obvious in the center of the snap in profile up high(might be stretching)
Then to the right a bit, over past the 'cleaner' whiteish Rock, left of the cracks of
The climb ( so, between Pete's spare rib on the left &Lake View on the right )
between the white er cleaner climbs, in the alcove, the very dark rock,
below the top capping overhangs,
is a smiling 'face' looking slightly downward,
then in profile with the cracks of Lake View forming the 'head' is looking
Right,

Another face other than the orange one;
Click to enlarge and the face is ( just below the top center/left in white ) sneering,
Insulted , no doubt, for having been so blatantly Monetized.

If you have the sight for these things then there are 'faces' all over this picture.
I counted 7 (at least)
the one I like best is the small grey 'face' just above the low overhang looking straight Out. .
Then to the ones - the faces that face each other, in profile. . .
&
The Sleeping Cookie Monster , & past that, the guy in the green recess. . .

Have fun with these...I see mostly figures, not faces.
I sat in the lobby across from this panel, installed in 1929, on my butt, back against the wall, staring at it for half an hour the other morning.
People getting on and off the elevator thought I was ill or stoned...they were 50% right.

So glad I chck'd back in.
Do you mean the profile-ish on the right looking left?
Or the more Dali-esque right looking "face" on the left?They both show 2 eyes to me but thats just me or is it?
I dare not add any more but please don't hold back

Gnome, the face on the right I call the Indian Head, because it reminds me of the Indian Head nickel, even though it's more the nickel is not so goulish. The left face is more Greco Roman with a helmut to me, although this late in the afternoon I'm not seeing it so well! That deep crack to the rear could imply hair hanging down beyond the crack. It might be easier to see in the larger image; the double arches being the eye. The nose sits out farther than the mouth. The longer arch above the arches of the eye is the skull or helmut line of course.

I liked most every one
there were the ones that in this moment I went to to re-post, mostly McHale's Navy's][It is not a two-way street when the site retains the right to re-use anything in any way that they see fit It doesn't matter to meI am happy to give away my picturesThat is the point in posting these it is to demonstrate that I'm clearly willing to share This is what to expect Great Content ? ? ?
Thank You everyone for posting to this fun thread
sad as it is now to see it to bad
Yup
"Sorry, all I see are breasts" too
