I took this shot of a seed pod coated with a thin veneer of ice. As I was editing the image I noticed a strange alien-looking face embedded under the ice. This is the so-called pareidolia effect. Or is it?

Lake Monster?
Posted in Cryptids, Weird Science with tags Eel, Lake Monsters, Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens on January 25, 2017 by MONSTERMINIONSI noticed a surface ripple in the Sydney Royal Botanical Garden pond (that spade-shaped surface water body, below), approximately 300 feet from Sydney Harbor. At first I thought it was a snake, but it was clearly an aquatic denizen. I managed these shots below….
Aha! No cryptid or lake monster here. It’s an eel!
