You couldn't be blamed for thinking that this is the sun's surface. AUSTRALIA: CAN YOU spot the figures and objects hidden amongst the Australian land
You couldn't be blamed for thinking that this is the sun's surface. AUSTRALIA: CAN YOU spot the figures and objects hidden amongst the Australian landscape in these optical illusions? In one image, a series of colourful natural pools along Australia?s Wheatbelt mimicked the appearance of paint pots. In another, the coastline at Shark Bay transformed into the head of a dragon complete with its sharp teeth drawn open. Aerial photographer Scott Jon McCook (37) from Perth, Australia, has been capturing images of the country?s fascinating and varied landscape for several years - often flying at heights of 3,000 feet. Scott captured the images in Australia?s Shark Bay, Kalbarri, Coral Bay, and Wheatbelt over the space of four years. He noticed the landscape mimicked the appearance of various figures and objects including a flock of birds, a lion, and a medieval knight. The phenomenon of seeing faces or patterns in everyday places is known as pareidolia. This is a psychological process in which humans assign familiar characteristics to oftentimes inanimate objects. The images were captured using a Phase IQ150, Pentax 645z, Fuji GFX 50s, and a Nikon D800. / Scott Jon McCook
