Description
Eyes In The Ice In Alabama by Kathy K. McClellan is a photograph taken for Week 22 of the 52 week Art Challenge (The World Outside).
Northern Alabama experienced a winter storm in January 2024 that produced a mix of snow and ice from sleet, freezing rain and snow. Although the temperatures stayed well below freezing for nearly a week, some of the frozen precipitation melted when the sun came out a day after the storm. The result was an abstracted, uneven layer of ice as that melted mix refroze.
This image is a close up photograph of that layer of ice sitting on top of the dormant grass. Light hitting the higher portions of ice made tiny sparkles as though a million diamonds had been scattered on the ground.
Enlarging the photograph will reveal images within this shiny mass that resemble eyes looking out from the ice. Even without magnification you can spot the largest of these eyes towards the upper left side of the image as it is very blue with a sparkle shining within it.
This tendency to see faces and other objects in patterns or photographs is called pareidolia.
