Nilmini De Silva, Salty Island (AERIAL 2025)

I am always looking for pareidolia when out shooting drone images. Pareidolia is defined in Wikipedia as the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Here I saw a waterhole and the animals that came back and forth to have a drink in our harsh outback.
