37 Of The Most Powerful Photos Ever

Most of these are new to me, and are quite awe-inspiring. Sadly many of the pictures that are the most fascinating are also the most tragic. Here are a few examples that really caught my attention:


Heart surgeon after 23-hour-long (successful) heart transplant. His assistant is sleeping in the corner.



A missionary holding a starving child’s hand.



The sunset on Mars.



A couples last embrace.



Inside the walls of Auschwitz.



Chile’s Puyehue volcano erupts.

Good thread.

Second pic, missionary holding hand.

Thats why we MUST end this tyrannical rule!
Its time WE THE PEOPLE rose up and put a stop to this monstrous cruelty!

The Queen, Obama, leaders all over the world, eat and sleep while denying the same to others. They are monsters!

S&F, thanks for this one.

looked at every picture.

It's neat, 37 is my synchronicity number, and photo #37 was the most touching for me because it hits close to home.

Of all the pics, which are great captures defining the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" I felt a sense of helpfulness knowing I can personally affect/aid that with some effort except the mars sunset one


That one makes me feel so small and insignificant

The condom demonstration one (#8 I believe) was too funny. All their faces! I really liked the one before that as well.
The WTC one confused me though. I'm sure I'm just missing something. Are they talking about the museum? Certainly not the INITIAL building of the WTC?

Edit: I just wiki'd myself a bit on that confusion lol.

Be sure to look at the rest of the pictures - magnificent. Bravo.

I don't want to dismiss the power of every picture but...

I see too much glorification of war and soldiers in those pictures...

Predictive programming to get us back to war when it's all just a big fat lie.

An excellent post, thank you.... All human life is here, though as a dog owner myself, the photos of dogs loyalty do it for me, and especially the funeral of the dog trained to detect explosives....

what is your profile picture meant to mean?

Thank you for this thread. Some of those pictures are really moving.

We are a good race. But we have been lead astray by tyrants.

Such a shame

Can't find the Auschwitz picture in the link... where did you get that one?

Great pics, thank you.

Amazingly beautiful!~

That was amazing, I totally didn't expect this. With every slide passing I was like ''wow!''. I didn't expect it could ''wow!'' me 37 times over and over S&F
