I posted this in another thread and was encouraged to start a new thread for those who are often seeing “things” in the clouds! This looks like an elephant like creature running towards the right side of the photo, with an arm up over his back and legs churning as he runs. Anyone else see that?
-
March 22, 2018 at 3:25 pm #264292Hans StockerParticipant
Ha, thanks for creating this thread Ramona. Your playful young elephant is a nice start and I read elsewhere that Keelin already let play in some gentle low waves of water.
I can’t wait to contribute. I hope others will follow. The subject is very inviting imho.

This is kind of a backwards process, but I looked in the mirror the other day and “saw” a photo I had taken earlier of “curlicue clouds”. Yes, I DO have my head in the clouds! Oh wait! Is there a rule against having a person in the image posted?! I need to go check that, even though my face is not visible…
-
March 22, 2018 at 4:07 pm #264303Hans StockerParticipant
No rules whatever. There are also avatars, isn’t it?
I think you immediately introduced Things-that-look-like clouds Ramona. I do have to put my head in the clouds to get that curly hair!
-
March 22, 2018 at 4:25 pm #264310Ramona EdwardsParticipant
Oh, but you have a CAT, Hans! I am sure you can find a cloud that resembles him/her!

March 23, 2018 at 2:02 am #264364Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Oh, this will be particularly fun for fans of pareidolia! Thanks for launching this new topic, Ramona. I see Hans has already swum into the pool with his pretty iridescent Goldfish. Who knows what other creatures will turn up here?
One Flew Over The Rain-Splattered Window

March 23, 2018 at 1:06 pm #264446Ramona EdwardsParticipant
Nice, Keelin! I have to admit that I googled pareidolia to see what it meant, though! LOL I love the rain splattered foreground!
-
-
March 23, 2018 at 12:18 pm #264439Hans StockerParticipant
Yes the cat ( in this case a he) is the hairy part in the picture Ramona. In fact we have three of them. I will look for appearances of cats in the clouds.
That looks like quite icy rain Keelin. I can’t help to see this strange flying chicken. Hope you don’t mind this interpretation.
More flying.
Two birds
-
March 23, 2018 at 1:07 pm #264447Ramona EdwardsParticipant
Love it, Hans! I am curious what type of birds soar like this in the Netherlands? I have been a “bird nerd” for many years, but I am limited to my own little piece of the world.
-
March 23, 2018 at 2:42 pm #264469Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Love the composition and delight in flight you’ve captured in your Two Birds image, Hans.
As for my first posting here, it has to be one of the most surreal images in my entire collection. Chickenish, no doubt, though at the time, it felt more Owlish, and eerily, that it had turned its head to look in at me in equal wonder, no doubt!

March 23, 2018 at 12:39 pm #264441Laurence GreenParticipant
I like this new thread and I am sure there will be interesting photos to come. It never ceases to amaze and amuse me how clouds take on the things we know etc.
The one of the Goldfish I like – to me, it is like a butterfly.

This Fennec Fox made his debut performance on the B&W stage almost a year ago. Now he’s back for an encore, this time jazzing it up with the blues.

March 23, 2018 at 5:16 pm #264509Hans StockerParticipant
Love the Fennec Fox Keelin. I remember him and it urged me to check B&W Volume II again. It seems so long ago and at the same time so recent. Nice to see the Fox jazzed up here!
Ramona: the real bird is a seagull ( I live not far from the seashore, but they can also be seen more inland) and the one in the distance must be a Avis Lenticularis.
Hello Laurence: it seems funny to read that you see a butterfly in my goldfish. You must know I couldn’t choose between fish or butterfly, but since I caught more fish-like creatures that day it became one of a species in a virtual tropical aquarium.
I hope you like this Ray.

Ohhhhh, is this a Lenticular with iridescence? Love it!

March 23, 2018 at 7:39 pm #264528Laurence GreenParticipant
Hi Hans
Thanks for your welcome reply.
I have a big love of butterflies (Lepidoptera) and Moths as well as ocean fish.
Oh, yes! Manta Ray and Flat Fish have always been a true love of mine of things in the deep sea.
One of my big wishes in life before I “peg out” is to encounter, for real, a Manta Ray fish. Such gentle and graceful creatures with spectacular ease of swimming the waters. I am a hopeless swimmer, by the way! I sink into water like a heavy brick.

March 26, 2018 at 11:40 am #264938Hans StockerParticipant
Some more fish to come later Laurence. Looking for a cat I dug up one I posted almost two years ago with the question what I saw. It had the title ‘Craters’, but Hygge pointed out that he saw a long tailed kitten which has been laughing so much it has tears in its eye. Once seen it can’t be unseen anymore. So it has a good place in this thread for a revisit I thought.
Laughing Kitten
-
March 28, 2018 at 1:09 am #265239Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Hans, your iridescent Ray is beautiful, and Laughing Kitten hilarious. You are so right, once seen cannot be unseen — and both have kept me smiling.
I did not see what is so clearly present in the image below until I stood on my head (well, just kidding, a 180˚ flip of the photo seemed the safer approach).

I can see little Bear talking clouds clearly without any acrobatics, Keelin. Once seen …… Lovely.
The day before yesterday I caught next one …. well after all very easy to hunt because it was sitting.

This sleuthy figure appears to be looking for clues. Possibly wondering where someone has gone, and hoping the mystery will soon be solved!

-
April 8, 2018 at 10:05 pm #268206Hans StockerParticipant
Great detective Keelin. He found me the day you sent him for his search. Very funny too. I made a mistake writing in the B&W thread to be back the day after Eastern. I meant a week later. In that week I could only passively enjoy yours and others contributions on the forum. Meanwhile I went bird spotting again.

Welcome back, Hans! Delighted to see your return as I hoped you were simply off somewhere enjoying fresh skies. Not surprised to hear you were spotting feathered friends – and maybe also…
Spotted By A Friendly Figural
-
April 9, 2018 at 11:26 am #268273Hans StockerParticipant
Thank you very much Keelin. This one made me really laugh. The spotter is spotted indeed. The laughing one at the right spots a playful figural doing some funny shenanigans up left. Lovely!

Is your Old Man In Blue dancing, Hans, or just out enjoying a fresh breeze? I love the flow of his long, unbridled hair. And your Salad Servers are hilarious. No calories in cumulus!
Heading to a wedding in Portland, Oregon tomorrow (should find a few clouds there!). Anticipating the joyous event must surely be nudging my pareidolia towards nuptial interpretations. The couple below appear already in the mood for celebration.

A Cloud That Looks Like Something
-
June 6, 2018 at 7:40 pm #278684Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Very funny, Hans! And it looks like the kind of Something the something below might have taken a little nibble out of. He’s a bit “noisy”, but might just be a little hungry.
Hungry For Something
-
June 7, 2018 at 12:42 pm #278774Hans StockerParticipant
A funny happy playful dog with a big nose took a little from Something! He must have mistaken it for Michael’s frisbee. Maybe he needs someone to play with….
Have you seen a wabbit wun by here?
-
June 8, 2018 at 11:47 pm #279006Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Loved Michael’s Cloud Dog Going For The Frisbee a few posts back. You know those frisky pups will chase anything (or Something!). Haven’t seen a wabbit, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t wun by here. The evidence is rather compelling…
Flying Fur
-
June 10, 2018 at 8:05 pm #279300Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Uh oh. This one may require strong pareidolia glasses, but it looks to me like someone else might be hungry and hiding in the reeds…

-
June 11, 2018 at 11:09 am #279373Hans StockerParticipant
Flying Fur is a lovely picture showing with plain evidence the direction the wabbit must have wun by, Keelin.
You gave the hungry one hiding in the reeds a title I had to dig for in my memory. Although I was at the time they recorded it already a fan, I still had to remove some dust in my brain to find it back.
In the Aftermath the danger in the reeds must have been awakened an old acquaintance.
The alarmed Swimming Goat left its hiding place. Goin home?
-
June 14, 2018 at 10:01 pm #280198Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Very clever title, Hans! Can’t believe I just caught the connection. Had to think, think, think back!
-
-
June 11, 2018 at 3:48 pm #279448Patricia L KeelinParticipant
We know your Swimming Goat is fast, Hans! As I recall, it crossed the pond in no time, once upon a time. So delighted to see it is still swimming and not an easy target like some other unfortunate, tasty morsel.
Sitting Duck
-
June 12, 2018 at 9:08 am #279561Hans StockerParticipant
All’s well that ends well…
Danger was there but suddenly the crature turned around alarmed by something and the startled little sitting duck could happily swim away to safety…….
-
June 12, 2018 at 4:56 pm #279664Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Indeed! That was one lucky ducky thanks to your intervention, Hans, and the impressive U-turn above. Glad to see our little friend didn’t get gobbled up. After all, you know what they say…
You Are What You Eat
PS: This has to be one of the strangest cloud photos in my entire collection. You just never know what you’ll see when you look up!
-
June 13, 2018 at 12:03 pm #279833Hans StockerParticipant
Keelin, You Are What You Eat is indeed flabbergasting. Love the softness of the forms. These fluffs as if falling in cascade must have been marvelous to spot. But forgive me: if it is what it eats I still can’t figure out what it is. But surely a fantastic picture in the first place. Marvelous!

Head Above The Clouds
-
June 15, 2018 at 12:18 pm #280284Hans StockerParticipant
It is funny what you wrote about Aftermath of the Stones, Keelin. I had the same experience having to remove the dust of my memories, triggered by your I Am Waiting For Someone To Come Out Of Somewhere.
Wow, what a view Head Above The Clouds must have. I envy him. We have to cope with the look from the ground. Nevertheless surprising enough. Like yesterday having had this Mainstream experience, i.e Asperitas. Lots of strange forms. From the same series as Mainstream #2 on the Color thread this one with another nostalgic musical background..
Where Do We Go From Here

June 17, 2018 at 3:40 pm #280614Patricia L KeelinParticipant
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen any Asperitas here and look forward to more of your images, Hans. They do create the most amazing formations. As for freedom on the wing, it appears to come in many sizes.
-
June 19, 2018 at 11:48 pm #280974Patricia L KeelinParticipant
And here’s another winged creature. Caught this one taking a little snooze, perhaps dreaming of riding the rollercoaster waves of Asperitas.

Daniel, I see it’s not only an eagle in flight you’ve managed to capture, but a couple of lovely images posted to the Sunset thread as well. Hope we see more from you!
And Hans, well there’s no fooling your discerning eye. Love the calm gaze in your Trompe l’Oeil. I’m guessing this is one from that amazing Asperitas series you witnessed recently which must have made you smile.
Funny, how sometimes the sky seems to smile right back at you.
With a Wink

Long neck beers ~ 2 for 1 ~Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
-
June 28, 2018 at 10:39 pm #282317Hans StockerParticipant
I had to rub my eyes for this one, Keelin. Very funny! This karaoke bar must have very strange customers. Nevertheless I would love to join them with a long neck beer. My singing will be terrible and the fun will be the contrary.
-
June 29, 2018 at 2:03 am #282333Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Ah yes, at first I only saw cloud upon cloud, but then as you say, Hans, once seen…. Even the smoke filled room couldn’t undo the transformation. I imagine karaoke crowds are pretty tolerant and wouldn’t drag you off stage for terrible singing. Then again, the customer below might have somehow earned the hook!
Was It Something I Sang?
-
June 29, 2018 at 10:08 am #282392Hans StockerParticipant

I mentioned them elsewhere….

July 5, 2018 at 9:03 pm #283493Hans StockerParticipant
Well, the two heads will certainly have something to talk about Keelin. Very funny. I can see a lot of things in your Mystery to spend endless pareidolic discussions about.

A Bathing Hippopotamus
-
August 5, 2018 at 3:55 am #288846Patricia L KeelinParticipant
No doubt about it, that is one happy hippo, Hans! Very funny. Another funny thing is that I didn’t really notice the fingerprints on Okay, Hand It Over until you pointed out the obvious. What I saw was a little kid in a squirrel costume getting caught playing with his parents cellphone. Maybe he’s doing some fingerprinting of his own with jammy hands? For all I know, this could be one of his parents.
Voice Of Authority
-
August 5, 2018 at 1:17 pm #288904Hans StockerParticipant
Voice Of Authority has definitely your own fingerprints Keelin. This story I did not expect with these great B&W’s but it has your signature for sure. Love it.
-
August 7, 2018 at 2:42 am #289158Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Thank you, Hans! The photo below is almost like one of those *magic eye* images that requires relaxed eyes for the hidden image to be revealed (there’s a hint in the title).

The Key To Pareidolia
-
August 7, 2018 at 5:23 pm #289276Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Today’s class will focus on the Art of Pareidolia. Dank aan Hans, you have already been given the key, so pay close attention! We may have a pop-up quiz when you least expect it.
-
August 7, 2018 at 8:19 pm #289318Hans StockerParticipant
Hilarious …. What an amazing initiative this pop-up quiz is, Keelin! How could one ever expect this? The class is flabbergasted and already desperately seeking for an answer. Although I delivered the Key To Pareidolia, I am not sure that´s a guarantee for me to unlock this puzzle you presented.
In my surroundings someone suggested a standing mouse, while I see this baby elephant conducting an orchestra. Does this makes sense? I doubt it.
The timing of the start of this course maybe wrong for me or just right. That’s because I will leave the class already at the start for somewhat less than two weeks having no appropriate internet, but on the other hand that will give me the opportunity to do some extra study and come up with another pareidolic response.
Can’t wait……
-
August 7, 2018 at 10:40 pm #289340Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Ha, Hans! You have, perhaps unwittingly, already figured out the figural! It is, in fact, the Instructor for the Pareidolia class, who by his very nature may be seen (but thereafter never unseen) as the shape of one’s (or another’s) very own imagination. You must go to the head of the class upon your return! Meanwhile, here is a imp (or ?) to keep an eye on you and make sure you have enjoyable travels.

Your Genie looks quite friendly, George. That said, one must always be careful when asking for a wish to be granted. And maybe spell it out just in case there’s room for misunderstanding. The image below leaves us wondering if the wisher became the type of artist he really wanted to be.

Mischa
-
August 19, 2018 at 10:23 pm #291274Patricia L KeelinParticipant
How fun to see the cloud creatures you’ve captured in the skies above Vacaville, Mischa! Back in March of last year, I spotted a similar Simba at play here in Napa. One might enjoy the whimsical notion of it chasing that little cloud puff across the sky in your direction for all these months in between our sightings, morphing a bit as clouds always do along the way.
-
August 21, 2018 at 10:53 am #291518Hans StockerParticipant
Head of the class: I am glad to be able again to attend to the class of pareidolia after some leave.
A friendly Imp, a Genie of the Woods by George and fantastic animals by Mischa playing around with the ones Keelin spotted. Love it all.
By the way: Plein-Air or Plain-Air is a fantastic and ingenious title for a picture I really had to study a while Keelin. Can the head of the class agree with a resemblance to a elegant horned creature? Once seen….
I spotted Grumpy on my travels and I did not succeed to cheer him up despite all of the fun on this thread. Unbelievable.
-
August 22, 2018 at 4:05 am #291667Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Welcome back, Hans! And thank you for seeing and saying what can nevermore be unseen or unsaid. In fact, the elegant horned creature did not emerge for me at all until you pointed him out! And then he reminded me of another favorite (below) who appears to be on this side of the pond again.
As for Grumpy. He is such a surprise, I could not help but laugh aloud.

Beluga Swims The Blues
-
October 1, 2018 at 10:37 am #299560Hans StockerParticipant
You are bringing the Clouds-that-look-like-things to an abstract level Keelin. Your “Adrift In The Memory Of Whence It Came” is indeed a beauty that deserves this mystical title. And “Frisky Puppies Never Failed To Startle Her” is pure dada. As is the process of making it. The wet pavement look is also almost metallic. After the Friskie puppies the unexpected Beluga that swims the blues astonishes for a third time in a row. They all are intriguing combinations of image and a inseparable title. Each one of them makes my head spin with associations. Love it.
Recently I saw this less abstract but strange vertical cloud structure in a rather lenticular sky.

Ah! What a relief, Hans, to see a much happier fate than what I had imagined could befall your Chicken Abductee (an astonishing image, btw!). Perhaps with a bit of well-placed wizardry, there is still hope for the wanderer below…

It was the most romantic place for a rendezvous.

That is some cozy Arbor Keelin. Very nice.
Will there be partridge on the menu?

Well, Hans, I expect there would have been, but for this mischievous character, who would not have been able to resist your lovely offering. Your friend and mine…

Billy Bluegoat is one to be proud of Keelin. It is a lucky kid in you that found our mutual friend Billy looking a bit caught in the act (of steeling partridge?) but also happy and unaware of any wrongdoing. He is cute and I love him.

Yes, indeed, Hans, Billy was up to mischief on this side of the pond! And not Everybody (above) appears too happy about it, so I’m relieved to hear you love him despite his antics. Most likely it’s not his first taste of capers (if capers were to be served with your partridge). Alas, the goat herder may have seen this type of behavior before.

I must confess Keelin that I had to look several times, but then the portrait comes through. Now I can’t unsee this Portrait Of Dismay anymore. Very nice. The portrait-ed one must have thought Billy Bluegoat, what are you up to?
Maybe I spotted a little friend of Billy caught in the act of some mischief himself.

Piglet would surely be a welcomed sight there, Hans. And we could use a visit from him here as well. This one below seems too busy to care about the weather.

And if the truffle lover ventures too far into the deep dark forest, what then? There are creatures there aplenty to cast a spell or two…
