In the picture below what do you see?

An old lady wearing a fur coat and walking among trees?

That's exactly what I saw until Lin posted about the face, and now I can't help seeing the face. I have the feeling that this is a classic "optical illusion" picture.

Well I did a search an advanced search and a google advance search and I still couldn't find where someone and I think it was Christopher who asked a few months ago about the calendar only going up to December 2010.

Cal has updated it and it now goes up to December 2015.

Thanks Cal.  

EDIT:

And two minutes after I posted this I found it in the Board matience and Updates thread

I was wondering what will happen at the end of this year with the calendar--it only goes through 2010. Is there a way of updating it?

I also can't believe we've worked our way through the years since 2002 when this board first went up!

You are absolutely right KC.
You can see a woman walking next to a tree with some buildings in the background and also a mans face to the left of the tree.The womans skirt is his top lip and the womans coat becomes his nose!

I have been so busy recently that I forgot to share this with you guys when it happened.  But, my Clint Eastwood friends will appreciate this more than anyone else.  So a couple of months ago I was waiting to hear from Cal State Long Beach to see if my transfer was accepted (which it was yay!!!!!), but at the time it was very nerve wracking because I didn't know what my plans would be this fall for my schooling.  So one day as I'm about to leave for work, I ask my mom if she's checked the mail for today.  She goes into the garage brings in the mail.  We're searching through the mail for stuff from CSULB, alas there was nothing, however, more interestingly there was an envelope.  The return address on the envelope was from Malpaso Productions.  My mother and I were quite perplexed by such an envelope.  I open it an inside is this:



Needless to say... I sorta flipped out. 

The odd thing about this, the photo did not come with a note and there was no return address for the actual person who requested this photo for me.  To this day, I still do not who made the effort to send the photo to Clint and get it signed.  But now it is proudly on display in my room.

Just wanted to bring this one "back" by quoting it.... that's great to hear, Chessie! About the schooling AND the mystery photo! Cool beans!

That is weird.  Its gotta be someone in your family that knows you are a fan.   Nice surprise though, and cool photo. 

[Sylvie]

  That's a fantastic surprise, lucky Chessie ! 

[higashimori]

 Very nice !  You are so lucky Chessie !   

[higashimori]

 I have never seen that before, either !!

another Classic optical illusion
Can you see both the young woman and the old woman?

[KC]

Hint: the young one's chin is the old one's nose.

[Lin Sunderland]

Yes I can see both the old and young women.

I was out earlier today and drove past a couple of telephone booths. That's right, actual booths. I thought they had all but disappeared in the last couple of years with everyone having cell phones now.

I still see an occassional public phone, but not an actual booth.

[Southern cat]

A booth with a door SK?

[KC]

We have booths with actual doors on the ground floor of the New York Public Library. I'll have to take a pic sometime and post it here. They may be the last ones in the city.
