On the 10th of November while I was walking the Jordan River I went close to the river to take a few photos of the rapids and caught a water wolf in one frame.<\/p>\n

\"WolfWolf in the water \u2013 Nikon D500, f6.3, 1\/800, ISO 800, +0.7 EV, Nikkor 70-300mm VR at 300mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course it wasn’t actually a living, breathing, furry wolf. But I can see the face, ears and eye of a wolf in the water. Can you see it too?<\/p>\n

Seeing faces in inanimate objects is a common type of pareidolia<\/span><\/a>, the tendency to assign meaning to patterns. In this example I see the face of a wolf or some kind of mystical canid in the rapids.<\/p>\n

If there had been a real wolf in the Jordan River a whole bunch of dumb yahoo lawmakers on Capitol Hill would have been crapping their pants. The Utah Legislature has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars<\/span><\/a> to a guy to look for wolves in Utah because… well, they are afraid of wolves and don’t want them back in the state. \ud83d\udc24\ud83d\udca9<\/p>\n

So if any of those scared lawmaker lumps find and read this post, just chill dude. It won’t bite. It’s water and imagination. No reason to get your tighty-whities in a knot or have apoplectic fits.<\/p>\n

Maybe it is just a dragon.<\/p>\n

If I ever see a real live wolf in Utah, I won’t say a word about it. About that, you can be certain.<\/p>\n
