When Shaquira Hobbs looked up to the sky on Sunday night, she couldn't believe her eyes.
In a serendipitous moment for the photographer, she saw a detailed formation of a man's face in the clouds from her backyard in the New South Wales suburb of Booragul, in Lake Macquarie.
"I actually called my partner and said 'I'm not tripping or anything?'," Ms Hobbs told 9News.

"I was shocked, it had eyelids and everything."
Her partner Brandon McEwan reassured her he could see the same thing.
"He said it was incredible, he couldn't believe it," Ms Hobbs said.

Ms Hobbs' mother was also impressed by the sight when her daughter sent her the photo.
"Mum was shocked and she said 'you need to send it to every news channel'," she said.
"Mum is still talking about it."
Ms Hobbs said the formation of the man's face only lasted for about 30 seconds.
