Do you see the horse?

It looks like someone upstairs was playing with the hills to make a picture. :)

It looks to me like someone "downstairs" was playing with photoshop. Is there a lat/lon for the image so we can confirm the Earth actually looks like that?

Like with "The Face on Mars," the earth will only exactly look like that at around the same time of day around the same time of year when the sun is in that position to make those shadows.
 
Not really. Looks like some hills to me. Saying it's a horse is a huge stretch.
 
I understand that with the preponderance of Photoshop there is a propensity to immediately consider such editing software as reason for visual anomalies. But sometimes it is what it is. Haven't you ever seen familiar shapes in clouds? (Now that I think about it, don't answer.)

Rather than me searching for a Long/Lat, I'll just provide the linky....

Mike, that 1st link reminded me of the Virgina Dare story. When my wife and I went to the Centennial Celebration of powered flight we took a tour of a garden which had the head of a deer (not a real head; the juxposition of tree branches and bark to form the image) in the tree canopy. To view you had to be at the right angle but once you saw it, it bowled you over. The image has been there for years and is uncanny in it's strong resembelence to the real thing.
 
Richard, those are some pretty neat aerial shots but pricey. I'd love to have a couple of them.

Mike, I looked at your link... Abe Vigoda??? That astronomer was sipping too much of something. :yes:
