Face of… Santa Claus?
Please note that some or all of the objects mentioned in this post are no longer visible on Google Earth or Google Maps.
Here in Portugal there’s a forest fire burning through the landscape (Portugal’s been hit hard by these fires in recent years), but there seems to be a little more to this particular plume of smoke…
Does that not look like a bearded face at this distance? In fact (maybe I’m just getting carried away in the spirit of the season), but I think that looks quite a lot like Santa Claus!
Thanks to Ricardo Castro.
It’s all about imagination… I would say that face looks like Satan if today is “Friday the 13th”.
Airborne incinerated tree particles?
I see what you are talking about. And Santa Claus is smiling.
I am sorry we make fun with Portugal’s disaster~~~
get a grip man….
He’s even saying “Ho! Ho! Ho!”
:-o 
Did you know that Santa Claus in the Netherlands comes with a boot from Spain and not from the North Pole? With Portugal here, not too far off, I would say.
All these bearded men in the sky are only tales for the children, but Santa Claus is the most credible.
I think it looks like the Travelocity Gnome!
Looks like Fidel Castro to me…
A Great Picture..
I have a doubt …
with what it seems like that?
Is it a cloud?
Actually, I think many would agree that upon quick glance it looks more like the Burger King than Santa.
If I squint a bit I get Shakespeare… a bit more and I get Anthony Hopkins (with a goatee).
Try it!
