There are images that stop you in your tracks mid-scroll, without you really knowing why. You rewind, zoom in, tilt your head… and you feel that little thrill of mystery. That's exactly what happened when a photograph, taken just 21 kilometers from an inhabited area in Spain, began circulating on social media. A strange shape in the sky, almost unreal, that seemed to defy all rational explanation.
A photo taken almost by chance
For Alfredo Lo Grossa, nothing had foreshadowed such enthusiasm. Having lived in Spain for some time, this lover of walks and beautiful light wasn't looking to capture an extraordinary moment. That day, he was near the Spanish Mediterranean coast, enjoying a peaceful landscape where the calm sea merged with the horizon. His brother, camera in hand, captured the scene without any particular intention.
It was only when looking at the photo later that the detail became apparent. There, above the sea, a silhouette was emerging in the sky. A vertical shape, with slightly outstretched arms, immediately evoking a well-known figure.
