@Sid I would love to have further details if you can dredge them up!

Incredible waterfall in the shape of a woman dressed as a bride.

In one of the many beautiful states of México, in Avandaro Valle de Bravo state of México there are many waterfalls and one of them is velo de novia or wedding veil.

With added bonus face in the rocks.

Beauty and the Beast.

Beauty and the Beast.

The face I'm seeing in the rocks does look remarkably like the Disney version of the Beast.

Toothed crow over neighbours house

And this isn't Bugs Bunny but another image from my collection of the unusual (Shin Falls forest). Move round and out of cover of the moss covered rocks and it reveals itself to be a branch

Robot on the roof at Ullapool

 

[oraclepaige]

Not the Loch Ness monster but risen pond liner, from a pond on Tain seafront

 

[oraclepaige]

Halloween mask in window, Tain (okay I'm scraping the barrel now): a glass of the unusual Mr Pleasance? As Jerrold Wells the actor asked him in an advert

I pass a similar scene on the way to work every day. This has been there for one or two years at least. Each time I'm irritated by it

This has been that way for years too and it stinks during the summer (algae)

Someone's missed the opportunity to do a phone video all kids cast remake of JAWS there.

Plastic pirates on Yarmouth Beach, not re-enacters

[Frideswide]

Nobody is exhibiting physical mediumship in this picture!

Most of these are actual figures, not simulacra.

Yes it's just more spamming.

 

[kesavaross]

I'm not sure what I'm looking at? I'm also not sure what spamming is? Sorry, I don't get what the pictures have to do with simulacra?

 

[Yithian]

Right, a number of complaints.

Please check you know what simulacra are before posting photos on this thread.

Yith dressed up as a banana is not a simulacrum of a banana, since nobody's first thought is that I am truly a banana. We want things that resemble what they aren't more that what they actually are.

'Spamming' is shorthand for interlarding a thread/forum with unwanted and irrelevant content: like Monty Python's monotonous menu.

I have always thought of you as a bit of a 'nana to be fair though.......
