Pareidolia. The name given to the reason we might discern animal shapes in clouds, explained as"unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness", the human tendency to seek patterns in random information in general - (Konrad/Brugger). Today this psychological phenomenon is used in (Rorschach) inkblot tests, to gain an insight into the mind by unlocking feelings and thoughts.  So, for fun; what  do you see in my photograph taken a few days ago of the Moon behind a tree.?
