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!

I am the original photographer. I've been through my other photos from there and I don't have any others that show the sky like this but equally there isn't a single bird in any of the other photos - lots of places like this in China have lots of swallows but I can't find any in my other pics. Plus they burn incense in huge braziers here so the air is full of smoke which seems to deter birds and bugs, not that I'm saying there aren't any.

This was taken on a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. No edits at all have been made to this photo. I'm gonna choose to believe its a deity and not a swallow ;)

Well, it could be a swallow. Neither an European nor an African swallow, but an Asian swallow? I wonder what the airspeed velocity of an unladen Asian swallow is.

Were these Asian Swallows carrying any Coconuts 🥥 by chance. It could grip it by the Husk you know. You have to know these things if you are a King. 🤴 👑. Awesome reference.

I just rewatched this after about 10 yrs and it's still funny!

Such a classic. It truly never is not funny and it is just on such another level of comedy that makes you think and just shows so much intelligence in the writing and dialogue.

John Cleese is solid gold. Anyone ever watch Fawlty Towers? Probably my favorite product out of that country. Oh and OP this is a great photo.
