The phenomenon and concept is called:

Pareidolia


http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia


The famous image by Galen Rowell of Ron Kauk sport climbing "Endless Bummer" with a profile of the rock has many faces in it. I have a signed copy by Galen of the large poster nicely framed and I stare at it and the more I do I find more and more faces. It's weird. I'll have to try and find that image somewhere on the "internets" and post it.


Here is the image. Don't really want to post it since its coming right from Corbis.

How many faces do you see? I count at least 7.

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?
