Should have replied sooner. I set these things up, then forget about them for a 
while. :-)

I really enjoyed the projections onto this image, Chuck may have been right 
about the Rorschach aspect. ;-)

The similarity to the nearby hills was what first drew my attention to the 
subject.

Whoa! Only saved from the need to award a prize by a subtle miss. The image is 
of the top of a chain link fence around 
the overlook above the Point Reyes Lighthouse. Fortunately, for me, that fence 
and the ones protecting the 300 steps 
down to the lighthouse are made of aluminum! Rust is a real problem there.

OTH, the softness of the aluminum is why the image is interesting. I have no 
idea what causes them, but there are many 
gouges, some quite deep, in the fence pipes, which create the interesting 
subject matter. Here's the original, where 
it's clearly a pipe with various scrapes and gouges in it.

Carol said "Food and Sex", for the giant loaf of hearth baked Italian bread 
being broken in half by ... something 
rising, so you are not alone. :-)

Yeah, I think the vertical figure/thingie looks like a mummy rising out of the 
hills to attack - somewhere. The Return 
of the mummy of Godzilla? Could be a mummy from What the Duck, too.
