What would you guess this is? Maybe an aerial view of a barren mountain range? Undiscovered pyramids in the depths of the sea?
Nope. It's a closeup of a Galapagos tortoise shell...
Which bears an uncanny resemblance to an African desert plant found in the Albuquerque arboretum.
Strange coincidence, no?

Fantastic shape!I love the closeup - I really couldn't tell what the shape was.
Cool!
What a lovely linkage of images!
Great post! Love the tortoise :)
lovely and fun geography/science lesson!
i couldn't guess at all...
It's shape and color must allow the turtle to hide in plain sight.
I love both the photographed objects. Nature is amazing and strange! I kinda thought it might be a turtle, but I wasn't thinking Galapagos. What terrific shots, thanks for sharing.
My first thought was "funny fungus " at a tree.... Great idea!
Brilliant! I had no idea what on earth it was. I love it!
awesome! no really it is...
I thought turtle for some reason
what fun, I thought it was definitely an aerial shot. Isn't perspective just wonderful!
awesome shapes!!!!great comparison!!
For once I guessed right! Great shot, and fascinating to see the similarity to the plant.
Those are some cool odd shapes! I was thinking that was a cut tree ring in the first photo!
The similarities between the tortoise shell and the plant is an odd thing indeed!
Love that, great close up, such a cool photo.
