My head in the clouds
A couple years ago I was watching the clouds and noticed that this one cloud looked like all kinds of cool faces. I was so stricken by it that I took a picture. I posted it on a web-site and was shocked that noone else could see them. So, I thought used Photoshop and tried to embellish them just a little... people could still not see them! Tell me if you can see the faces (there's a large native american face, an angel, an alien type thing, a woman with closed eyes, a guy with closed eyes, a woman with a head band, and even a dog with a hat...lol, I have a good imagination... but it still looks plain as day to me.)... do you see them?

SweetSativa and Bodhi coming out of the woodworks, must be 'old schoolers coming home' season. Welcome back friends.
As for the clouds, can't say I see all those faces, but I do see a few mixed with my own visions.

I don't know if there's really a double meaning. I just thought it was incredible how 'life like' they appeared to me.

first one: dog and reptile creature
second one: angel
3rd: faces with eyes closed
4th: woman with head band
Bodhi pointed out the large (what looked to me like) Native American face.
Abstract is fun

I would say there are similiar parts of the clouds that became more than one thing. That is what I meant. Verses all at once there are 7 different things in different areas.
In other words over time you saw X# of things.
In understand what I mean

^Nah, just that your vision is different than mine.
Did you know that the point of the Rorschach inkblot test is not to derive meaning from what people see? It is more about how many different things people see than WHAT they see.
These images still look so real to me... even after several years. I just wanted to see if they looked that way to others. Perception is an incredible thing!
