'Neptune' appears in the waves during storm in Newhaven

 

Neptune seems to have made an appearance on the East Sussex coast during a storm.

The sighting of the "face" of the Roman god of water was captured by BBC photographer Jeff Overs in Newhaven on Tuesday.

He took the picture as waves crashed over the harbour wall during the storm.

The sighting seems to be an example of pareidolia - when an image is seen in an otherwise random or ambiguous visual pattern.
