To me, this face appears to be intriguingly angled. Maybe it is the two straight leaves on either side of the face that make it seem like it is appearing on/in a flat surface as if reflected or 2-dimensional.







Tinted the irises blue

Nice looking face ya caught there. I agree with you about the dimensional looking part.
Boy his eyes and nose is so real looking... wonder what he was looking at.

Whatever it was, I'm glad it distracted him long enough for you to get a picture.

Cool!

I really appreciate your comments and feedback, as always, Dawn. It is very validating for me that you so frequently see what it is I am pointing out.

Because it is so strange as to which way he is facing, having another look, it appears to me as if he is looking off to the right side of the photo and yet eerily seems to be looking at the camera at the same time.

This spiky tree provides so many good ghost and other type images. It must generate a bit of power.

I suddenly noticed a flower above the forehead of this face (tinted it pink). I don't know what this means as yet...





I did not colour what I assume is the fifth petal on the lower left of the flower because it is not symmetrical with the other petals (leaving it up to viewer discrepancy).

Below is a night time photo of this exact area of the palm (but a year ago) that shows a bearded man with flowers all around him.






Now I'm thinking Green Man ... I had a night time experience in January of this year where in the midst of falling asleep I saw a small green man comprised of leaves and moss sitting in the air to my left (like a holographic symbol). I screamed and began spontaneously saying, "This is what has been scaring me, this is what has been scaring me!" Though the figure itself did not look scary. Then throughout the night whilst in different levels of consciousness I would see different iterations of green men in all shapes and sizes.

From the beginning of my spirit photography experiences, it seems, I have captured quite a lot of spirits wearing hats. Stovepipe hats, bowler hats, but especially tall hats with the brim rolled up. Researching this last type of hat, I found this was a popular style at the turn of the nineteenth century. This is a crop from a local drawing of this period.





One particular spirit fellow I call Mulligan, whom I felt was definitely a ghost from Sydney colonial days, showed up for many photos and was always wearing this tall rolled brimmed hat.

Off and on over the last few years I have seen this rolled-brimmed hat in my mind's eye and sometimes formed from light or trees. It often has a flower right in the center. In the above photo this long-wavy-bearded man is holding a flower up to his left eye and has a flower in the middle of his hat if you look closely.

When I have inquired about the flower, I receive messages that indicate it is decorative.

Overall, I feel quite sure that this all has to do with Green Man (click for an earlier post), a figure I learned about long after I was capturing his image in photos.

Recently I had another bout of hat-spirit experiences. I saw them all around me in various ways for a day or so. I dreamed of them, and then I captured several figures with hats, such as this one.

I see so many examples of different types of hats that are worn by 'people' of other realms, it is quite amazing.
The most freqent hats appear to be bowler, top and stove pipe hats. But I see a lot of medievel type headgear also.

I often wonder who is copying who for style? Where does the inspiration come from for different designs??..Is it just pulled out of a hat!!

I know of the green man. He's one of my favourite 'Mythological' creatures.

But why would a nature spirit wear a top hat?
Not questioning your knowlage, just wandering.

Such a good point! Did we get inspiration from "them" or they from us?

Can you be sure he is a myth OMJ?

I see many such 'Green men' in my photography - and many of them happen to wear hats!

If 'spirit' wishes to be seen wearing hats, why not?

Who is limiting their belief

Oh, I missed your post, OMJ. I know you have done lots of research on the various myths of the world. So I guess I'm not surprised you know about green man. I think green man is more well-known in your little corner of the world though, isn't he? I really appreciate your and additions to these topics.

Good point about spirit sporting hats if it wants, Chris! I do actually think they are an adornment. I think spirit emulates us (or possibly we copy them) and we like adornments so much ourselves. I haven't figured it all out yet completely why there is a specific hat being shown to me over and over. I know it was the style 200 years ago when this place was colonized and that may have something to do with it. I have noticed that sometimes in the photos I take of my dog that there are spirit emulations around him in the grass or stones that mimic his face in the same exact pose he is in. It is hard to illustrate, and I haven't gotten around to it, but hopefully some day I will make a topic on spirit emulation and find a way to highlight what I am seeing.

It is still quite subjective. I have come to realize that seeing spirit really is scrying. It is like having hundreds of lines or dots all jumbled together and your eye/mind picking out the path that creates the image you are meant to see. It is intentional, and a spirit is definitely there, but its image is also personal and subjective to the viewer. And I hope that explanation is clearer than mud.

Oh, and thanks for your points, Chris. One thing's for sure, I used to think myths were separate from reality. But I have since been educated by those so called myths themselves (fairies, werewolves, dragons, etc.). Why our civilization has moved so far away from the greater reality and knowledge of past civilizations, I can only guess. I tend to think it is a pendulum effect and that the swing is headed back toward understanding the nature of spirit and the other beings that reside along side of us and create reality with us (even if you can't always see them). Just my ... But don't question them!
