A photograph supposedly showing a mountain resembling a face looking up into the sky is frequently met with comments as it circulates on social media. While it is sometimes mislabeled as if it shows a mountain in Morocco, Africa (such as in the above-displayed example), this is a genuine photograph of a mountain that resembles a face. This unique landscape can be seen near the city of Antequera in the province of Málaga in Spain. This photograph was taken by Miguel Morenatti, a travel photographer, and shows the Peña de los Enamorados (or The Lovers' Rock). This mountain is also referred to as Montaña del Indio (or Indian Mountain). In Morenatti's 2018 Instagram post, it is called Indio de Antequera (or the Indian of Antequera.) Morenatti also stated on Instagram that this picture is not photoshop. The photographer said that it was all about finding the right perspective to make it appear as if the mountain also had a head of hair from the tree branches. Morenatti said: Here are some other pictures of the Indian of Antequera. Andalucia.org, the official tourism site of the Andalusia region of Spain, explains the legend behind the rock's name, writing that this unique mountain received the name Peña de los Enamorados (Lover's Rock) after two forbidden lovers jumped to their deaths to avoid persecution. One reason people may have expressed skepticism of this photograph is that a number of other images purporting to show mountains that resemble humans or animals are fake. For example, this turtle mountain, this horse rock, this elephant mountain, and this sleeping lady rock formation are all digital artworks.
