Anthropomorphic tree
Anthropomorphism is the recognition of people-like characteristics in animals, plants or non-living things. This tree can be found in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. During the time of slavery in the South, slave ships were often unable to make it through the Outer Banks because of the treacherous landscapes. From the looks of this picture, it seems as if they may have lost some passengers along the way.
Hungry Ghosts in Buddhist mythology are beings that are not fully alive. They have bellies too huge to satisfy with their slender necks and food becomes ash in their mouths. Being born into the world of the hungry ghosts is one level away from Hell.
