I think it has to be someone not connected with this thread, so an honest selection can be made. Plus they can do all the hard work as well.

[quote=susie123;1017326]No wonder it takes you a long time to view this thread! Was I right about the face in the lodge window?

you were, but the face has no body, we must now wait for the person who took the picture (Gremlin ) to explain what was happening when he took it.

Well we're singing from the same hymn sheet there Dave!

OK today the last of my towers (do I hear a sigh of relief all round?). very touristy today, sorry...

1 Palazzo Vecchio, Florence
2 Campanile (bell tower) of the Duomo (cathedral), Florence. Completed 1359, decorated with polychrome marble panels
3 You can go up the campanile but we went up the dome of the Duomo next door, which is slightly higher. This is the view from up there
4-6 Don't need to tell you where this is!

I'm allowed four more pics today so here are some clouds I took from the window about 4pm today. Rain on the way!

Well Dave I have studied the original photo and enlarged it but I cannot see the face without body behind the patio doors.

Can you crop it and just show the piece you mean?

Could it be the ghost of one of the workmen who died when the place was a gravel pit. Certainly not, ghosts don't exist in my mind.

does he mean the top left quarter, its like a giant bust, dont think on same scale, or have i got it wrong

Well I still can't make it out, must be his vivid imagination.
There is an ornament on a shelf half way up close to the left side edge. Could it be the reflection of a seagull of bird? I give up.

I am hoping to go there again soon so I will have a real good look around.

You are welcome to one of my allocation, take two if you want.

Look at the first picture you posted in post 2451. There is a lamp post with a few rocks behind it on the edge of the path, then the lake. Now look at the close up pic I posted. You can see the reflection of the bottom of the lamp post, then next to it is a round shape on the right. That is one of the rocks which Dave is interpreting as the top of a head, and below it on the grass is a vaguer round shape makig up the bottom of the head. The "eyes" are a whitish splodge on the bottom LH of the rock where it meets the grass.

Gosh I must have a lot of time on my hands to work all this out! At least there's no ghost (not that I believe in them...)

Gremlin · 19-09-2012, 19:42

Right, I will believe you all, it must be the Stella Artois which is affecting my eye sight tonight.

Let's see if you can find anything unusual in the next batch of photos I took last week.

The first four or my kind of photos, mechanical muck.
Next a picture taken at Grange over Sands (more like grass) taken from a distance.
then another shot from the Lodge, a nosy and noisy duck thing which kept tapping on the patio doors, once my wife fed it it brought all it's mates.
Finally the last bit of sunset, I will leave it at eight cos I allowed Susie to have two of mine.

davemac · 19-09-2012, 19:58

I know I am harping on about the face, but I dont think you are seeing the same face that I am seeing, the eyes are actualy blue and the right eye (as you look at it) is just below the left hand corner of the table top seen in the patio window. The rock and grass dont form part of the picture I can see, if you look at it again you have to tell me if I should go into my darkened room for a while.

Russell you could have had another one, I didn't post any more! We were at Grange the other week, it's a shame how the beach has all trned to grss because the river changed its channel, but it's a nice photo of the Promenade.

Think your "nosy and noisy duck thing" is a Canada Goose, sounds like typical behaviour for that species, pity Kestrel's not here to put us straight!

the view in number 3 is a spanking shot of the tower. I think you went to the wrong tower in number 6, its not leaning .............(I know, I'm silly)
