It was also most visible from the middle distance; when you were actually back down on the path it was quite small and wouldn't have drawn your attention, so I'm sure it wasn't the 'devil' that Rogelio and co had seen. Again, the frame provided by the photo makes it seem more obvious and dramatic. I also didn't think it looked very evil at the time (more Easter Island-ish really), but now it does start to seem more devil-like. <br /><br />In my experience, seeing faces and animals can be brought on by extreme tiredness: I recall on the way back from climbing Nevado Chachani I was seeing all kinds of people, llamas and pumas appearing in the rocks of the desert. No experimentation with substances required (unless it was some unknown after effect of Diamox).Simon Bidwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669045345877026955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254679.post-74897869610801375532009-09-22T04:38:32.458+12:002009-09-22T04:38:32.458+12:00Well, I saw the face as clear as day the moment th...Well, I saw the face as clear as day the moment the page loaded before I even started reading. I actually assumed it was a prehistoric rock drawing. I can't imagine how anyone couldn't see it immediately - it positively jumps out. On the other hand, I think some of my prior experimentation with certain substances may have permanently predisposed me to see faces and animals everywhere. <br /><br />I don't think the face looks particularly evil though.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436330660719396253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254679.post-62076932805466069972009-09-11T20:04:32.464+12:002009-09-11T20:04:32.464+12:00I can see the faces too and they look quite sinist...I can see the faces too and they look quite sinister to me, but if I hadn't been looking, I'm not sure whether I would have interpreted them that way.
