Metaphors based on perceptual similarity are considered to be one of the hallmarks of creativity. We propose here an image-based retrieval system for generating pairs of perceptually similar images. A number of examples of images paired by the system are presented and discussed. Often, these images are conceptually very different, and hence can serve as anchors for perceptual metaphors that create new conceptual similarities.
