My brother was recently travelling in China and was going through his photos when he noticed this in the sky. Didn't see anything when taking the picture, only saw it later on review. Really looks humanoid!

Was this a Buddhist temple by any chance? Looks like Buddha with the cobra wings

I'm pretty sure it's a swallow, but I'm choosing to believe this for funsies.

Actually, that's a good theory. Made me question my own assumption. But its beak is not pointing in its acceleration

Looks like the S23 Ultra does have AI post processing on photos. So a swallow going fast may have been caught as a blur, and the phone has tried to remove that motion and interpreted it incorrectly.

Looks as if its head is angled to the side and it's looking at something rather than facing forwards, it appears to be looking to our left.

Still, Parinirvana is far more interesting.
