As we go through life, it’s likely we’ll all experience a thing or two that we could put down to a higher power.

You don’t even need to firmly believe in the existence of God to consider that some things are simply too coincidental, or perhaps too perfect, to merely be life playing out naturally. This is much the same when it comes to certain signs and indicators that we may see appearing in the world around us.

Alfredo Lo Bruto, from Agropoli, Italy, took a picture of an alleged ‘figure’ above the sea which has sparked debate online, with people saying it looks just like the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Alfredo told the Daily Mail: “I was mesmerized by the sight. I don’t often share photos on social media, but when I did, I immediately felt like I wanted others to see it because it was so beautiful.”

The photo, taken over the Tyrrhenian Sea, certainly bears some resemblance to the aforementioned statue, and people online are now debating the idea that it could be a sign of some significance.

Others, of course, are willing to dispute this, suggesting that the appearance of the ‘figure’ is simply a random cloud formation benefiting from the light of the sea.

This isn’t the first time a war of words like this has taken place after a picture hit the internet, although it has to be said that this one has its fair share of people on both sides.

Either way, it’s certainly a spectacular photo; one that perfectly shows the beauty of the world we live in.
