Pvt. Louis Buckley, USA 1945 Siegfriend Line 'Dragon's Teeth'

[Dixon Cannon]

I had posted this old photo of my Uncle Lou on another board and a discussion began about the woman's face that appears in the boulder in front of him. I've attached a close-up of the rock and a sketch I made from my screen. Let me know if you too see the face of the weeping woman, leaning against a headstone. She wears a flowered hat, her hair pulled into a bun, her eyes are closed .... see what you see...

Kind of a stretch...don't you think?

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Hoosier Daddy: Not at all. Some people have the ability to see things beyond the objective image. Some see thing in clouds, some in smoke. Hell, some people see Jesus in their Egg McMuffin. If you don't see anything in the highlights and shadows on the this particular image, just say so. It's as simple as that! No stretching necessary.

Didn't see it...even after the sketch, my eye just doesn't create it.

Obviously this is the wrong group to show this one to! I have had so many responses from my FB friends on this. It blows my mind how differently our mind's eye sees!

I see the image in that photo. I wonder if the image would have been similar in other light conditions.
It is an interesting instinct that makes people think that there are faces in general shapes. It makes camoflauge much more difficult.

I too can see the image quite clearly. In a way it reminds me of the famous "Face on Mars" pic which subsequent exploration had revealed to be just a natural rock formation.

I saw the image more in the rock than the sketch. When I saw the sketch it looked more like a map of Africa. Then I looked at the photo again and noticed that Madagascar is to the right but it is a little out of scale.

I saw the cafe after looking at the drawing, not really before
