Uh, that's not "spiritual energy," it's sunlight glaring through the edge of a cloud bank.
And it ressembles a seahorse more than it does a dragon anyway.

This reminds me of a simular story I read last year about supposed dragons flying over the Himalayan Mountains (I think). The pic was taken from a plane while it was passing over some clouds. Turns out it was just ridged ice flows on the mountains partially covered by the clouds. Guess people see what they want to see, no matter how perposterious the vision may be.
When I look at the pic above, I see a fetus.
Ugh. The pro-lifers must be getting to me. |

Ah, yes. That story was linked at the bottom of the article. I thought they looked like ice flows.
Funny how even after a year they still present these photos as "a mystery."

It's just an outline of clouds with sunlight combined with over-active imagination.
Simple. Easy to recognise, even on the crude phone camera image.
Kilik, learn about Pareidolia to see what your story has in common with the image of the Virgin Mary on burnt toast...

Damn, Randy, we posted at the exact same moment right down to the second. I think that means you owe me a beer.

You're right H., since you're the first the catch it!
That, or if childhood memory serves me right, it's a jinx being at the same time -- you get to slug me in the arm.
You get to choose at the next Bahamas SFN party. Hell, you can get the beer and slug me.
Edited to add...I forgot about your avatar whaling away. I'll just buy you a beer.
