Face of Either Karl Marx or God Appears in Cloud in England

from WaPo's Capital Gang Weather:

If you look up at the heavens and let your imagination go wild, you can see all kinds of things. But, once in a great while, clouds align into formations with unmistakable resemblance to real things or people.

Along the east coast of England in the county of Norfolk, a middle-aged man named Jeremy Fletcher photographed an arrangement of clouds that took on the unambiguous appearance of a God-like man, reports the UK Daily Mail.

“The obvious comment is that it looks like God but it could also be Sean Connery or Karl Marx,” Fletcher opined.

FWIW, I don't think the nose is Marx's and it is not like the nose on any image I've seen that was supposed to be God's. Have we ruled out Kelsey Grammer?
