Optical illusion best viewed from a distance


Hard to see close-up, but from a distance [or by "zooming out" on your screen] the dark spaces between the rocks spell "The stones will cry out" (a Biblical phrase).  I don't know the original source for this somewhat-viral image.

    Also readable if you zoom out your browser (Ctrl+minus, or Ctrl+ScrollWheelDown in Windows). I only got it at the second-most-zoomed-out level

    It looks like they already have dried out.

    I see a queen sitting on a throne. Face is the pinkish stone at dead-center. Also the words, but that came with a bit more effort.

    Most likely an AI-generate image. There are a bunch of them out there, like ones where the markings on a group of cats in a photo spell out words.

    The best way to see it is to squint. Then it become clear.

    Nah, this is quite an old image. Pre-AI. Just Photoshop is sufficient.
