The images of this photo project "Pareidolia Mountain Faces" show mountain peaks that, rotated by 90 degrees, resemble profiles of human faces.
These mountain tops in the Bavarian Alps form a silhouette that is reminiscent of a woman lying on her back. This is how it got its nickname Sleeping Witch. 
With a little imagination, you can see the upper body and face of a reclining woman. 

"At a moment when society becomes increasingly aware of the need to reconnect with nature, PAREIDOLIA – Mountains Faces provides a refreshing take on the longstanding history of landscape art. Lang’s visually spectacular images remind us that humans, contrary to a dominant discourse that claims the supremacy of civilization embedded into our recent cultural imagination, are ultimately part of and have traditionally been humbled by the natural environment. At the same time, it seems to challenge and question the anthropocentric vision that imposes the human psyche onto a vast world that may be much more expansive, both spatially and temporally, than the confines of our deceivingly narrow perception."
