Pareidolia
From Wikipedia:
Pareidolia (/pærɪˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is the tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music.
Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, ...
Well, some of us are looking at satellite images and clouds from above on a daily basis. I think it should be entertaining if we share, what our brain makes of things.

I'm gonna start with a goat!

I had a blog post on this, back in 2011: Arctic Faces (https://neven1.typepad.com/blog/2011/04/arctic-faces.html).
Pareidolia is fun!
-
Glad you like it Neven! :)
Here's a rat for you.

I thought those were a llama (I started typing lama, whoops) and a seal. I see "lineations" in the Petermann (https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,53.msg184436.html#msg184436) Glacier tongue! :)
-
I don't know if lineations in a glacier qualify, but hey, who am i to judge. Could be a snake also, right? ;)
I do see the Llama (as in Lloyd) but i don't see the seal.

Pic or it didn't happen B.C. :P

OK .. it didn't happen .. b.c.

LOL ;D

Well spotted by Niall Dollard here:
Beautiful sentinel image (dated 030619) of the blue ice at the head of Tanquary Fiord, north central Ellesmere Island.
Reminds me of a leopard's head.
-
Not sure what i'd call it or the apparition on it's back, doesn't look benign.

I see a Picasso horse (the head's ears at 76ºN 130ºW) with some (blue) 'dirt' flying behind.

I see it too now. Thanks Tor. :)

Someone's not happy:

GET OFF MY LAWN!
Hahahaha. Nice one.

Posted in the other thread so let me link a duck:
A frantic baby elephant makes a dash for the Bering Strait.
It's a duck now. :)

Before, someone was angry, now they're vomiting:

Poor guy haha.

Woody Woodpecker seems to enjoy the show:
-
OMG awesome catch! <3
-
And that is where it breaks down for me...
Long ago in the Netherlands we had Wordt Vervolgd on TV. It was a TV show about comics and it had an item with kids imitating the voices one of their three heroes.
These were Donald Duck quacking a bit. Then Road Runner. One small kid just said 'miep miep zoef' which was sort of accurate even if it was just the text without the sound effect. It became a running gag in my family. The third one was that Woody Woodpecker but I can't remember the look or sound. It took me years even to remember WW was the third one in the contest (i cheated and asked my family who the third was).
So I don't see WW there but that is just the limits of pareidolia...
-
Ha, I remember Wordt Vervolgd, with Han Peekel. ;D
Here's what WW looks like:

If you want to hear the laugh, I can give you my phone number. ;)

Co-incidentally just heard this Mel Blanc Woody Woodpecker song on the radio the other day. 2 minutes of lunacy !

-
Now I see the picture I see him in the ice too...that song though. :o
-
Well, the ice gets it i guess!
-
it's probably a good job I can't share what I see .. I see hundreds of faces , beings and animals every day .. b.c.
-
Fortunately for me, with the rarest of exceptions, the faces I see every day are attached to my friends, neighbors, coworkers, family and Houdi (my wife's 21 year old cat, which I call an elephant, but I think you don't want to here that story).

A heatmap for France for 27 June, tweeted by the university meteorologist Ruben Hallali, next to the Edvard Munch painting The Scream, was widely shared on social media.

OK: I grew up a 'dog person', partly because the several cats we had all died young. So when my wife and kids got Houdi (after Houdini because, as a kitten, he would climb the textured wall paper to the ceiling), I was excused from caring for him because "I hate cats" (or so I said - you know, it's a political thing). Well, the kids grew up and left home (all in their 30's now - I should be grateful). My wife regularly 'teases' me by asking if I love Houdi, so I have come to reply, "Yes I do, because he is an elephant." Houdi is grey in color, so why not? And I do 'love' elephants (I even receive an "elephants - 'good news'" weekly Google e-mail). With the special needs of an older cat, I do a fair amount of care for him (the 3 kids in town don't come around on a twice-daily basis to do what they promised 21 years ago - sigh … kids these days!), but that's okay because I love elephants (and my wife).

snipped
i didn't know that the elephants already migrated up to north west greenland ;) ;) LOL
hope you know the image from last week that i'm referring to.
at least we finally know how "Jesus" succeeded to walk over the lake ;)

A dinosaur, panicking, 1 minute before the meteoroid hit.

someone tries to steal HER ;) ( the floe that was meant to block nares and rescue the ice in lincoln)
we are obviously not the only one's who find HER interesting, a hand is picking her like a hand would pick up a stone from the ground before SHE get's swallowed by the pharynx.

PS: Great catch with that grab. Really cool!

Has anyone besides me noticed that Baffin Island is a long haired Dachshund? :)

Still a jumping horse but could become an attacking bull should ears protrude to look like horns.
