The images of this new photo project show mountain peaks that, rotated by 90 degrees, resemble profiles of human faces.

The term “Pareidolia” describes the ability to recognize a face, a human figure or an animal in abstract forms such as in clouds or mountains. It is the tendency for perception of a visual stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer.

The mythical names of these strikingly shaped mountain peaks in the Alps such as “The Sleeping Greek”, “The Sleeping Witch”, “Schillerkopf”, … are mostly based on old legends and sagas, that have been handed down from generation to generation – So there is a special story behind each of these pictures.

The photographer also discovered “new” mountain faces during his exploration tours through the alpine countries of Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Slovenia for which he found his own names, such as “The Golem”, “Donald Trump”, “The Bavarian Chief”, …
