Anmazing ! Can you see the monkey's face ? Flip the image 90 degrees right, and look at the bit above just below centre of the eye .
Wierd.!Nice pic anyway.

Well spotted John. I hadn't seen it. It reminds me of the cloud image I took a year after my wife died. Above is the 'monkey' and the 'face' in the clouds. There are some interesting simulacra in the Fortean Times see http://www.forteantimes.com/
Thanks again for spotting the 'monkey' and taking the trouble to comment.
I would have struggled to see the monkey without your crop David
A well taken sharp image. My only slight nit would be that the colour of the drone fly doesn't seem quite right, a bit too pale and orange coloured. Not sure what would have caused this, maybe lifting the shadows too much?

Hello Matt. The colour of the fly is nearly as it was, apart from a tiny bit of saturation for visual impact. The colour of the fly struck me as unusual that is why I photographed it.
