That tree may also be an ancient Native American Marker tree.

Excellent observation!

That tree may also be an ancient Native American Marker tree. Trees don't just grow like that. I went to HS with Dennis Downs who is now the expert on Marker trees and wrote a book on it. Here.

How interesting! I never knew about Native American Marker trees.

Maybe I should dig out the negatives in my "Eroctica" series. It is not difficult to find rock formations which depict human genitalia, or other body parts.

At one time I had these two images hanging at opposite ends of a hallway.

Yeah, this pretty much covers it.

I hadn't considered that, but I did read something recently about the Marker tree phenomenon. This does look like an example.

Are these example images here really subliminal?

The only subliminal message I sometimes fall for is "BUY MORE GEAR"...

Not a photo but darned clever. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

+1.

The best way to answer this is maybe. The worst way is absolutely not. The expensive way is an hour on the psychoanalyst's couch.

There are, of course, untold hidden motivations that influence composition choices, or the way we perceive those by others. Same for any given dream image...

The clever way to deny all this is to say "Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar."
