The Faces in the Bottle Top


A bit of a spooky one, this one.

You know how I often see faces in trees and bushes and the like, the Spirit of the Trees as I call them, and on occasion I see faces and animals within the clouds, or Spirit of the Sky, well today I’ve discovered even more spirits… in a bottle top.

And not the normal spirits you’d expect to find in a bottle either.

I was getting some photographs ready for Halloween, as you do in the middle of a scorching hot summer, and had the inspired thought to try and make a bottle top look like a crystal ball.

Yes, I know it’s an odd thing to think about trying to achieve, but all things considered it actually turned out quite well… even if I do say so myself.

Anyway, I was checking the image, just to make sure that there wasn’t a reflection of yours truly in there, when I noticed a face over to one side – which definitely wasn’t me. And then I saw another. And then one in the middle.

The first one I saw, bizarrely, reminded me of the Mona Lisa painting, but this face shares the space with another one, and they keep fading in and out with each other. The one in the middle looks quite sinister, but I’m going to say merely curious, rather than judging a book by its cover. Some folk think I’m grumpy when they first see me – it’s just a look I have on occasion. And sometimes they’re right. I can be grumpy at times. I’m not now though.

Anyway, moving on. I can also make out a Phoenix in the sphere… which is rather uncanny considering all the waffling I’ve been doing about them over the past few days.

Here’s the image… see what you think, maybe you can see more than what I can.

Here’s the image again, with the faces that I can see highlighted…

I’ve just noticed that how I’ve highlighted the faces appears to spell the word ‘goo’ but that is purely coincidental. And G8, but I’m not going there.

It’s the Mona Lisa image I’m mostly concerned with, as her appearance changes when I look at it. She becomes older – and then younger at the same time. Could she be someone from another realm peering out through her mystic portal – which just happens to have connected with my bottle top – and can she see me looking back?

Do I need to retire to a darkened room? Am I being overcome by the heat? Or am I seeing the Spirit of the Bottle Top?

    You have a very interesting mind Tom! 🙂

    I could see the Phoenix OK, but I’m too tired to see the rest! 🙂

    Much cooler here today so I’m hoping for a better day’s sleep!!! 🙂

    Have a great day my friend!!! 🙂

      Boy Prenin….You guys must be roasting over there and for quite a while now it seems. Find a way to stay cool or you may catch TL’s heat stroke mania as well…..VK

        It’s a tad cooler today, VK. Went to the seaside earlier, where it was a lot cooler. It was lovely. I got sun-burnt by the wind…

      These faces are quite tricky, they’re not as clear as the ones in the trees, but I’m starting to see even more of them in the photo now, Prenin.
      Maybe I’m looking a little too deeply now…
      And ‘interesting’ is one way to describe it!

    Can only see face #3 TL…Too much light reflecting off the others. I think you have been hit with a bit of heat stroke my friend. It goes to the brain 🙂 Actually this is what I find so delightful about you. Keep at it. Look how wildly popular “Where’s Waldo” got to be. Maybe there is millions to be made off your findings? Hmmmm…VK 🙂

      I think it’s Where’s Wally over here, VK, but yes – that’s doing very well. I’m not sure my Spirit photos will have the same pull, but I like finding the faces in them. You never know though… millions sounds good. Although, I’m not going to rush to get it. (That’s the patience thing!)

    The glare blinded me, Tom. I can’t look anymore. Now I’m afraid they will pull me into that globe. Keep them away from me. That Mona Lisa one is a witch. 😀 😀

      They’re perfectly safe, Tess. They’re in a different dimension, so we’re safe.

    I think you’re seeing the spirit of the bottle top! I also believe that Phoenix is a reflection of the one I suspect, based on the temperature in my room (water cistern is in there too…lots of serious heat coming off it even with the cupboard doors shut…) currently residing in my domain 🙂 Or I suppose it could always be the reflection of the one residing in your sweltering shiny selfie…what do you mean you didn’t know there was a Phoenix there too? Don’t be silly Tom! It was there all the time!! 🙂

      I shall have to check that out, Sue. I tend to see faces in things, but I have a crystal ball of my own that I’ve never seen anything in. It’s a snowflake obsidian one… I will have to try and see what I can there again. The faces lately are becoming more prominent!

        Yes I too have a crystal ball Tom similar to the one shown.. You can not see the Wolf in the photo, I have not tried taking a photo. Perhaps I should with my micro setting on my camera.. and see what comes out. A friend once jumped when I showed her as she saw and swore it moved within the crystal.. I have programmed it as my personal healing crystal and sit with it often when I meditate. 🙂

        Its so interesting… to look and really SEE.. I had a photo taken at a wedding recently where I had a huge orb stuck to my head.. you can clearly see a face in that 🙂

            You need a good flash to reflect them back Tom.. at least that is what I have found.. My sister has a knack for them she invites them in, and low and behold,, more often than not they oblige…:-)

              I’d better get a decent camera then, methinks… the flash on my mobile phone mustn’t be good enough.

                Yes they have never shown up on my mobile.. but I have a small digital camera which has given great results .. I may post the one on my head if I crop .. 🙂 In fact I may do a page on orbs instead of a post.. 🙂 that way I can include others 🙂
