Strange shapes

Recommended Posts

Ever since I can remember I've been guilty of looking at clouds and other natural features and spotting other recognisable shapes out of them. I wondered if I was a bit strange until I was visiting a friends house for morning coffee the other day and she pointed out this hill in clear view of her kitchen window and said that it always reminded her of a face. Whilst I'd seen the hill hundreds of times before I'd never picked a face out of it, but when she showed me I could see it straight off......and now every time I drive past that darned hill I imagine an old man lying on his back and looking up at the skies :lol::lol::lol::lol: .

 

Anyway, that conversation prompted me to take a picture of my favourite group of trees, which I drive past every day on my way to work. I think that they look a bit like a chicken....or do I just have chickens on the brain :shock::oops: . What do you all think : :?:

definitely a chicken, Cate.

 

I love the maori stories about so many hills, stones, trees etc, and how they came to be there. There is a fabulous hill in Hawkes Bay called Te Mata and is a giant lying on his back, complete with a willy. Te Mata was a giant warrior, who fell in love with the daughter of a local chief. She said she would marry him if he completed a task, which was to eat every piece of a nearby hill. he choked on a piee of it, and died.

 

 

and the one about the three volcanoes, two men and a girl....

 

and so on.
