Default The face of Jesus

Hi everybody! I just started doing pyrography. This is my first attempt. I know the drawing is simple,the technique is poor and I need more practice. The drawing looks like the face of Jesus Christ. But the idea came fron an old Italian weekly magazine (Oct 1951) where I find the attached photo. The caption says that a photographer on a bomber while flying over Korean mountains took a photo of two bombers flying below (see as indicated shadows at the top). But when he printed the photo, also the face of Jesus appeared (probably the shadows of the mountains). The photo was first published in the States on the daily "Ashland Indipendence", where the photographer worked as a war correspondent. Dino
