Frankly, I have no idea who the duck Richard Stoltzman is, nor I want to google him like many of you would angrily suggest (probably just in spite my defiance is talking), but the fact is that this image below contains one awesome optical illusion. I would like to thank the person who sent me this, but am not able to decipher his “reply to” email address. In my mailbox, I see the sender as: “@mailinator.com Marct <m8r-gvr6mg>“. How can this even be a valid email address? Is it some sort of error gmail produced, or does it have something to do with secret government headquarters or PGP encryption? Would love to hear your thoughts. As there was nothing more than a picture attached inside the message, I’m not able to provide any more info. If you have problems spotting the illusion, look for a seagull – he should help your eye. If you still can’t find it, check the second hint.

Enchanting. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Yeah, it looks like a face to me too. ha :P

yeah second for the first time XD
obviusly is a face between the rocks
:D COOL! IndiAN WITH BIRDY!
I saw the face before I saw the arch!
(2nd!)
es genial felicidades
It looks a little like . . . Ben Franklin?
Maybe also a face on top looking down? Anyone else see it?
This is really cool! I’m sorry, I have to do this It’s my first time ever: Second!!!! Anyway, thans for posting.
Looks like George Washington!
Yes it’s a face right in the center, the seagull looks like an eye
This is amazing. I have the album but on cassette so the image is too small to have the illusion effect, so I have never noticed it. Richard is a clarinet player, who creates atmospheric music of real beauty.
This clearly an illusion that exists only for the wink of an eye.
Cool! Looks like its been ‘photoshop edited’, lol! But how was the black line for the eye was formed? Is it a bird or something?
I see it :) Very cool!
I saw face and “mudflap” woman out of the rocks
to have that bird there….at that exact spot…at the exact time. wow!
minimum two faces, another on the top
yup, thats a left side view of a human face.
looks like benjamin franklin =)
Profile of an indian.

And I Know who this is… the face looks familiair to me ;-)
at first i thought the left side of the rock was a man kissing the other side of the rock o.o;
but thats when i looked at my widget.
when i came here i realised it wasn’t
Email addresses are
"anything" <a@b.com>
So in this case, probably
"@mailinator.com Marct <m8r-gvr6mg>" <m8r-xxxxxx@mailinator.com>
Usually only the part in quotes (typically the senders name) is displayed. The headers will show the real address.
Well… Email adresses are over rated anyway. You can fake everything. The address in the header and the displayed address (you can by the way also fake the to address). So I guess this was someone who liked to stay anonymous…
No way I’m going to send you any emails, if you put an email address that puzzles you so in the open on the internet.
Bad manners!
wow i now see the head but if you look at the whole rock, it looks like a women or a mud flap lady! idk how you couldnt see it! maybe its because im a guy lol
at first glance i thought someone had painted a picture of a white head against a random black shape. it was only when i saw the ocean when i realised it was a place, although it does look like a painting – so probably not photoshopped, just painted like that.
I see a vase.
There are a number of faces. The obvious one formed from the opening in the cliff face with the bird as eye, on the rock opposite that face’s mouth and chin is the face of a bearded man: looks like a Highlander or a turbaned Indian: to teh left and lower, right beside the bearded man’s shoulder, there is the top half of a face (more Italian looking): dark hair, eyes, strong nose and perhaps a moustache. Above the Highlander face is a rather demonic looking face/mask and above that, at the top of the underside of the arch, what looks to me like a mother or culd be Christ with child held, affectionaltely, close. I think I am seeing faces in teh highlights of teh rock but this couild be merely like those one sees in nature/patterns anyway: like a host of folk to teh left of the left hand side of the arch: almost likelooking into a throng of spectators or into a busy street: the people are not relating to each other. Much the same on the rock at right hand side of the arch.
great pic. There are websites that let you back trace emails. You should look for them.
That email address belongs to a temporary account that was create using mailinator which is a website that lets you enter your email address to sign up for things and then creates temporary inboxes every time you get a message so that your inbox is never full of Spam. Here is the web address http://www.mailinator.com/
if u look at the top of the lump of rock on the right side u can see a face looking down
This is sweet, we have a guy making out with a chick and a random face in the gap.
It’s a woman who is lying on top of an Indian who is lying on top of Ben Franklin who has a seagull stuck in his eye.
I live about 10 miles from here. Yes it’s Durldle Door.
i can 2 images. first a face hidden in the shape of the gap
