Title: What's going on in this pic?
Post by: Tuomas on Tue 26/02/2008 11:08:42
Hi there, hope I'm not annoying anyone. But I was listening to this awesome album again, Moonmadness by camel, and started looking at the album cover art. Here, check it out.

I always thought it was someone staring at the sun, but when you look at it closely, it's pretty disproportioned to be just one person, unless in a weird position. Anyway, I'm confused. What does the image say to you?

Two people with their arms around one another looking at the moon. As in moon madness I guess.

I could've sworn it was some sort of polar bear cub lying on a rock...

I see it as moss on a couple of boulders, shaped to resemble a camel's hump. Not sure though... but it's very interesting artwork, and very pretty!

to me it looks like a girl sitting on the top of a hill or edge of a cliff with her arm around a dog, her hair blowing in the wind.

It's pretty clearly Mr. Snuffleupagus.

Damn, that's uncanny.

...
Do you compare every picture to Mr. Snuffleupagus, or is this an astonishing coincidence?

All things being equal, it's usually a productive starting point.

Sorry, but it's obviously a Depressed Penis wearing a wig.

About ready to jump off a cliff.

It looks like a girl, with her back to the viewer, holding a sack or something that catches the wind. Her legs are dangling from the cliff(?), and she seems to be facing a bit to the right (her right).

@ tuomas,  I just snatched some moonmadness on YouTube , and would like to say thank you for increasing my musical range  ;D That really is some neat album.

And I thought I was the only one who sees this.

There's no way that's a girl. How could she be so skinny yet have so many rolls of flab?

I'm inclined to agree with the misshapen penis theory...

Glad you liked it Ghost :) I love this specific album. But the variety of interpretations that we get here is exactly my point here :D

Though thank you Gord10, I now see that it might look like two people, the other one in a weird positiong with no arms and hidden under the hair of the other. Or something :S

For what bloody reason do you think that there actually IS SOMETHING in the picture? Does it necessarily need to be something?
