Simulacra

Please could someone shrink these?
Taken in a weird old property in the beams and doors - the first reminds me of a man or owl.
The second a Cambrian sea creature (with eye).

I used to have an old tallish wardrobe in my bedroom, and the figuring in the grain made me see this old man with robes holding a long cane. Felt like 'he' was always looking down at me until my Dad turfed it out at a later stage.

I'm imagining an episode of the Twilight Zone where the creature comes to life, captures you and a warped version appears in the wood grain!

Is that really what it looks like, BBC? Is it? View attachment 62643

I'm sure there's a "cumulonimbus" pun in there somewhere.

Welshman Noel Morgan chanced upon what appeared to be a large slumbering dragon on an Anglesey beach renowned more for romance than winged serpents. A retired BT engineer from York, he was visiting his childhood home in Newborough when he made his remarkable discovery on Ynys Llanddwyn.
“I was taking photos of the island’s rock formations,” he said. “At the time I was struck more by their red colour than their shapes. It was only when I got back home that I realised one of them showed what appeared to be a dragon. I showed friends and they all instantly recognised there was a dragon in the photo.”
Noel christened the rocks the “Sleeping Red Dragon”. He came across it between Twr Bach (Little Tower) and Twr Mawr (Big Tower) on the western tip of Ynys Llanddwyn.
“I must have hit the beach at the right time, when the tide was out,” he said. “I’ve been there many times before and I’d not seen this rock formation before.”

Wow that is startling!!

I thought it was a manipulated image at first but further down the fb thread someone had posted there own photo as apparently it's also near one of those geo cache thingies and he'd also spotted the likeness. This photo wasn' quite as clear but still the dragon could be clearly seen. Wish I still lived in Wales so I could pop up and see it!

Spotted this today while walking past Headingley Stadium.

Looks just like a gimp mask.

Someone suggested I should boop it's little snoot - alas it's on the other side of some raillings!

Someone suggested I should boop it's little snoot

I would be compelled to get a stick with a broad end to perform the boop through the railings!
