The Pontiac Hood Ornament Face In The Canna

The Pontiac Hood Ornament Face In The Canna. An example of pareidolia.

 

Definition of pareidolia

: the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern

The scientific explanation for some people is pareidolia, or the human ability to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness. Think of the Rorschach inkblot test.
