The Sunday Challenge: Pareidolia

The Sunday Challenge: Pareidolia
Challenge for this Sunday was Pareidolia, a phenomenon which causes one to see something different than it actually is, for instance the well-known face in the full moon.

Last September I hiked in Swedish Lapland, partially along the Kungsleden. Two stones in the foreground bear fresh red markings of this trail. Beside the trail I saw this dark erratic boulder, which shows a face coming out of the ground. Since Scandinavia is known for its mythological beings it might be the head of a giant, for instance Jötun although the geographical location is far off. But with mythological beings anything is possible...

What an unusual boulder; it looks so different from the surrounding stone in the area. Yes, I can see the "head" and "face" coming out of the ground! Great find, Diederik :-)

Well spotted ... strange though how it differs from the surrounding area ... maybe it was really a giant trying to get out the ground! ;)
