The Grey Man of Merrick sits at the base of Merrick mountain in Scotland's Galloway Forest Park.

If you have ever been to Goblin Valley in Utah, you'll imagine all kinds of faces and creatures. Very cool. Here's one I found: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/37420639 and another: http://www.flickr.com/photos/molas/128647404/
