Dents
du Midi
The Swiss painter Ferdinand
Hodler painted this suggestive landscape representing "The
Dents du Midi" (The Teeth of Noon), a mountain
range situated in the Chablais valaisan. Can you spot something
interesting in the picture? (time allowed: 5 minutes)
Nobody
spotted the 3 cows at the left side bottom
of the painting! The posted answers to this visual puzzle
(see below) prove that we see only what we want to see...
We see actually what makes sense to us. Generally,
our perception is governed by what we think, so what we
perceive as real, and depends on our previous acquired
'patterns of thought' or 'mental models'.
Kari answered:
I see fish swimming in the ocean on the lower, lighter part
of the
mountains.

Bentley answered:
There are images of women at the top half of the mountain.
On the right there is what looks like an angel, then to the
left a woman water the garden or bending over and then what
look like tables and chairs with people sitting on them to
the left.

Walters answered:
I found "Stone Hedge" circle in the picture.
Joe
Soblosky answered:
I know I am probably wrong, but I am going to guess anyway.
I took a cue from what seems like 3 wolves in the foreground.
When I look at the mountain peaks, they appear to look like
a pack of wolves howling while viewing them from the rear.
Thanks!
