30 photos that demonstrate the diversity of our world (31 photos)

Have you ever looked at a cloud and seen a dragon? Or at a piece of bread that suddenly revealed the face of a celebrity? That's pareidolia. Our brain is wired to look for the familiar, even in chaos: eyes, a smile, a profile.





We've collected 30 shots where nature and chance played a cruel joke on us. Here's a cookie squinting like a puppy. Here's a stump that's decided to become the guardian of the forest. And here's a stone so pleased with itself that you just can't wait to ask it to share its recipe for happiness. Scroll slowly, because each character has something to say.
