Nice image, Val! This is a new object to me. I've looked at a few images of it, but I just don't see a monkey head. I see a bird's head, though!

I think I can see the bird's head, too! OK, it's the monkey's profile, and the monkey is facing left. There are two protrusions on the left side. The upper one is the monkey's eyebrows. The roundish one lower down is the monkey's nose and mouth. The monkey has a slight beard. It's a pretty ordinarily looking monkey, actually, no outlandish features. (At least the monkey that I see is pretty ordinary.) See it? This is cloud pictures.
