Looking at clouds

Ah, a Remington. The silver lining must have blinded me.

How about this one?

I took this a few years ago from the top level of the parking garage at Boston Medical Center.

That's the Stargazer flying down towards us. Saucer at the front, 2 pairs of nacelles at the back.

There's another Constellation class vessel further away and flying away from us on the left-hand side.
 
^^ You Trekkie nerd. :rommie: You left out the Reliant, taking a long lazy turn, far away on the right. :D

Good point. Though it could be a Klingon BOP pointing the opposite way.

You know, the association principles behind seeing images in clouds aren't all that different the principles behind perceiving images in any random pattern. Rorschach tests, for example, though much more rarely used these days, were based on similar concepts.

Whenever you project order onto randomness, the idea is that the order you create is somehow indicative of how your mind tends to function. Of course, it's rarely a pure test of projection. For instance, the very fact that I'm answering the question on a Trek board will make it more likely that my frame of mind is feeling like talking about Star Trek right now anyway. But they're a fun game anyway; you can even use them as jumping off points for free association exercises if you feel like letting off some old-fashioned psychoanalytic steam... :D
