LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Amateur photographer Jeremy Fletcher took an image that shows a face in clouds as he was on a walk along a wide estuary between Norfolk and Lincolnshire in England.
Show your faith by following the command of Pope Francis.
The photo shows what appears to be a bearded, deity-like face, superimposed before the sun, looking back towards land from over the water.
Fletcher, who does not consider himself a religious person, took the photograph during an evening walk.
"I realized the image looked remarkably like a face of a man with a beard so I took a number of shots on my phone. The face appeared to be looking back towards the shore."
From Berkshire, Fletcher was in the area for a three-month assignment as a company's finance director. He added that, "the obvious comment is that it looks like God but it could also be Sean Connery or Karl Marx."
The councilor of Norfolk, and county stalwart, Charles Joyce was positive that the image had to be divinely expired. "Everyone who lives here knows Norfolk is a bit special and now it seems to have been confirmed from above."
