With a stern expression and his eyes firmly fixed across the Devon landscape, this cliff formation bears resemblance to a wizened old man.
The similarity to a hardened and wrinkled face on the cliff edge was spotted by local James Norton near Salcombe, in South Devon.
The image was posted by Mr Norton on the Toad Hall Cottages Facebook page and attracted more than 500 'likes' and numerous comments.
One compared the formation to the fictional character Treebeard from Lord of the Rings.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
