Default 29 Breathtaking Photographs Of The Human Race You (Probably) Haven’t Seen

Quote:
These pictures display the amazing diversity that can be found within the human race. They remind us that we live in a world where happy and sad coexist. Several images are beautiful, while others are sad and touching.

The first picture and the fifth picture from the top, got me or touched me right in the heart.

The photograph of the boy with the eagle reminds me of some film footage taken from a back mounted camera on a golden eagle. Can't recall where I saw it.

Yes, what impressed me was the fact that they release them back into nature after "years of service".

I love threads/photo collections like this.
Sometimes, images are indescribably powerful.

Especially the girl with the AK and water bottle had a huge impact on me.
The look in her eyes, her overall body language... you can see that her childhood is long gone, though she's just 14 (did some research).
When I look at her, I don't see a young girl, everything I see says 'warrior'.

Amazing. And kinda depressing.
Thanks for sharing, mapuc!

True, each picture has a story that in some way affect us.
