Great capture of this area, I can see how it got its name. Thanks for sharing, Dan.

Marvellous sight Dan. Brilliant work. Remarkable how prominent the Witches face is. Well done.

Hmmm. I'm trying to see the witch. I see a dog 's had with pointed ears and a nose! Maybe even a bit of an eye. Whatever- a fine view, as always. I guess the witch is the white part? "My" dog is the red area in the upper right third.

Cynthia, its pretty obvious, it is the white cloud, think Wizard of Oz, a side profile of the wicked witches head,

Ah, yes, I do see it now. Do you see my dog? Maybe it's Toto keeping an eye on her!
