Siena Ghost?

Recently captured this in the Tuscan city of Siena from the back balcony of Museo Civico, located in Palazzo Pubblico. At first I was drawn to those beautiful arches, but then the wall beyond it grabbed my attention. First I saw what looked like clouds or waves on the wall and then spotted a ghostly looking figure. I'm still seeing both.

    I see both...the ghost has its arms folded in front. Maybe you've discovered the new Italian miracle-must-see!! :-)

    Wow, how crazy and cool!! Is it an old mural on the wall, I wonder? Either way, this really is a fantastic composition! So much to look at! Really wonderful!

    I see the ghost too and he definitely has his hands folded..He's a heavy set ghost with dark hair, if I am seeing the same one and he is looking at the birds on the other side of the open arches.

    Great capture - distinct supernatural feel to this image nicely offset by the architecture and lines.
