Okay, here is from the freaky file :P

 

Here is a picture of my car after they removed me from it in an accident 3 years ago....

A couple of months ago I was looking at it and I saw this freaky image in it:

This is just to the right of where the steering column was. Helps to look at it from the right or left, not as clear straight on.

 

Freaky, eh :)

I had to crawl under the railing and hang over the edge a little, holding my arms out and risking dropping my camera  (this was a 3 stage waterfall down the cliff at varied angles) but I couldn't resist the angle this shot gave the composition of the rock.

Westminster Bridge, London, England (not St. Peter's Basilica as was stated when it was passed around).

Here are links that give a different view.

I think it's fascinating what light, shadow and our imaginations make us see. Unfortunately in recent years, it's light, shadow, imagination and photoshop, which makes us doubt what is "naturally" occurring vs computer manipulated.

 

I know this has been around for awhile but I think it's a good example of how architects need to analyze their work in all angles and lighting. I just wish I had noticed it when I was there. I guess my perspective and the lighting must not have been right.

I've run out of Likes :P

 

Seriously, though, this is an architectural motif called a trefoil - to represent the Trinity - which is commonly incorporated by architects to reference 800 years of use in religious buildings in the UK like this one at Salisbury cathedral

and I guess the design software they used when this bridge was built around 1860 didn't check for naughty shadow effects  :P:D

Okay, this is freaky. I lived right beside this for 3 years and never heard or saw anything about it :P

 

And.....speaking of freaky, the car accident with the demon face coming out of it happened probably 50 kms from this site :o

Well that makes sense now.  The trefoil designed by men to represent the Triinity, the resulting "naughty shadow effect," and how men really love to worship their own... ummmm... "trinity." :whistle:

 

Can you imagine trying to take in all visual possibilities even with today's software.  Overwhelming!

It's enough to give one the shivers.

Those penii just looked too good (yummy in fact :lol:) so I've done some checking. Sly was right to be suspicious - I'm pretty certain they've been slightly shopped - although there really wasn't any need to as this is apparently how they actually appear :P

I wonder how they managed to pass it off as St. Peter's Basilica when there's clearly a red London double decker in the background....
