Find a simulacra, log it and add a photo to the gallery.

Simulacra are naturally occuring things, of stone, or wood, or plaster or mould on a wall, that take on the pappearance of something else, like the face in the paint on a Sydney railway station that is currently in the media. other simulacra are those of human faces or heads seen in rock formations, and even mountain sides. these are often known as sleeping giants. Some are more famous than others, some may be only known to a few locals, others are world famous. but the main thing about them all is that they are naturally formed, no influence by man caused them to come into being. So where will you find one? You probably know of the local 'toad rock', or 'old man tree' near you. Who knows, a tree trunk, the light reflected in your office windows, the side of a mountain, or a stone in your own garden. I have posted a few images to get this started. Photos of some more famous ones, and of course, of Monkey Head rock, which is near the publishd co-ords for this cache if anyone want to visit. requirments for this cache are fairly contraining as in the past too many "easy finds were logged to this cache in its other life om that other site. 1. item must be accesible by public, on display or permanent. 2. item must be redily identifgiable as the "thing" you say it is, or have reasonable assisting drawings etc to back up your claim. 3. not just an image search leecehd from another website, to this point a photo of you with gps and "thing " in view should be submitted along witht the closest co-ords to your find. 4. the "thing" must be classified into on of the following types. A: widely know, may even be a tourist attraction. B: large, easily recognised,and accessible by others. C: Small, easily recognised and accessible by others. D: Large and Unknown, like the rocks behind your house E: small and unknown, like the images in your bathroom tiles! Knot holes in tree whilst often amusing, are abundant, and will only qualify if they are unique, unmodified,and natural. otherwise, log as many finds as you like, the more we copllect the more fun it will be. I hope this isnt getting to restrictive. have fun trying to find something unusual
