What am I seeing?
Some images just seem to need more explanation than others.
In our weekly series, we share images from the news that piqued our curiosity and raised questions.
This photo just looks pretty gross whatever he's doing.
Belik Race
Competitors climb a muddy bank under a wire fence during the first Belik Race in Cabanillas del Campo, in the region of Guadalajara, Spain, April 19, 2015.
What's a Belik race you ask? Well, over a 10 km (6 mile) course more than 300 athletes tackle obstacles such as fences, climbing through pipes and trenches, and mud...lots of mud. They have no idea what to expect in advance.
What am I seeing?
A new form of exercise? He must have really strong arms.
High winds
A man holds an umbrella against strong winds in Sydney, Australia, April 21, 2015.
Previous photo: A man held by strong winds poses at Bondi beach in Sydney as a second day of damaging winds and heavy rain have hit the New South Wales coast, April 21, 2015
We like the first photo better, though, we're having a hard time believing it all the wind's doing.
What am I seeing?
Ah that vibrant red gets us every time no matter what it is. What is it?
Gallipoli anniversary
The Anzac Memorial installation at Devonport in Auckland, New Zealand 2015 marks the centenary of the ANZAC involvement in the First World War, April 20, 2015.
Previous photo: A sea of red remembrance poppies are seen at the site of the former Royal New Zealand Air Force base at Hobsonville Point in Auckland. On April 25th, Australia and New Zealand will commemorate 100 years since more than 20,000 Australian and New Zealand servicemen landed at the Gallipoli Peninsula during the first World War on April 25, 1915.
Because poppies bloomed in the spring of 1915 on the battlefields of Belgium, France, and Gallipoli these vivid red flowers became synonymous with the loss of life in war and a symbol of remembrance.
Bet you didn't know that about red poppies.
What am I seeing?
Parrot shopping of course. He won't fit much in the cart though.
Parrot show
A parrot performs a show at the Punta Cana aquarium in Dominican Republic, April 16, 2015.
What am I seeing?
This just looks ominous and disturbing.
What am I seeing?
Amnesty International volunteers lie in body bags on the beach in Brighton, England, April 22, 2015. The charity placed two hundred body bags next to the sea to highlight the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean. Hundreds of migrants have drowned trying to reach Europe in the last few days.
They certainly know how to make a statement.
What am I seeing?
Unusual angle. A person and some colorful objects. That's about all we know at the moment.
Whitney Museum of American Art
An attendee takes a photo on the Whitney Museum of American Art patio as people walk on the High Line below in New York, April 23, 2015.
The previous person seemed very taken with the colorful chairs set up on the patio so the museum is doing its part inspiring the making of new art in our opinion.
What am I seeing?
Not sure we'd be getting that close to a scary creature with our cell phones. Are they offering their mobiles phones up to appease the scary creature or just trying to get a photo?
Dinosaurs in the flesh
A scale model of a dinosaur (top) is displayed in front of La Sapienza University headquarters in Rome, April 10, 2015. The realistic reproductions of dinosaurs are part of the "Dinosaurs in the flesh: science and art bring to life the rulers of a lost world" exhibition.
That's a heck of a long title for an exhibition. The dinosaur looks a lot less scary from a distance, but still very eye-catching.
What am I seeing?
If they're entering one of those mustache contests then we're betting on them.
Tweed Run
Participants in the Tweed Run ride their bicycles over Westminster Bridge in central London, April 18, 2015.
The Tweed Run is an annual event in which the participants wear vintage clothing and ride their bicycles though city centers worldwide....and of course wear big fake mustaches like the guys in the last photo.
What am I seeing?
Cool looking car in the sky ...somehow. We want to know more.
International kite meeting
People fly their kites to form the shape of a stick figure in the sky on the beach in Berck, northern France, during the 29th "Rencontres Internationales de Cerfs Volants" (International Kite Meeting) April 20, 2015 which runs from April 18 to 26.
International kite meeting
We just decided to show you an extra photo in detail because...well...could you do this with a kite? It's super cool and impressive. How long do you think they had to practice?
What am I seeing?
We couldn't end the week without this bizarre photo. I'm sure there's a really good explanation, but even without one it gives us great ideas for Halloween.
Earth Day
People walk along a practically empty street on the Car and Motorcycle Free Day in Medellin, Colombia, April 22, 2015. A municipal decree prohibited the use of private cars Wednesday-- coinciding with World Earth Day -- in an attempt to reduce pollution levels and promote the use of public and alternative transports.
In the previous photo: A man dressed in a zebra costume, performs on the streets on the Car and Motorcycle Free Day that has the slogan "Turn off the engine, turn on your heart", in Medellin. People do some very strange things to draw attention to their causes, but we kind of get the animals and the environment and earth connection. Right?
What am I seeing?
Ok, ok...just one more weird costume photo. We like costumes. The more bizarre the better. Can't wait for the explanation.
Face-kinis
Models wearing face-kinis pose on the terraces of a farm on World Earth Day in Loudi, China, April 22, 2015.
Face-kinis? Is that a thing? What did we say before about people and their causes?
