Let's try something outside the usual death and murder stuff:

This is a shot of the Pyramids of Giza taken from the upper city of Cairo - a perspective that I have rarely seen in photographs and for me it looks quite eerie, lovecraftian and almost extraterrestrial.

Wow, that has to be one of the best shots of marriage between the modern and ancient world.

I don't get it. Context?

Google the name.
What a sad story 😟

Ghost / Hidden Mother
When the process of taking pictures took a while, the mother would conceal themselves in photos of their children, in order to stop them from fidgeting.

that's a bit risky for Victorian fashion, you can almost see the ankles

Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels was cheerful and without a care when he first met photographer Alfed Eisenstaedt. In a close-up image the Third Reich politician was caught off guard smiling at the League of Nations meeting in Geneva in September 1933. But when Goebbels found out LIFE magazine photographer Eisenstaedt was Jewish his expression was quite different.

damn, just read the story, that's sad as fuck! Poor child

 

[darkwing-buck]

oh shit

 

[G.O.O.]

Yep, that's a good one. Really good one.

 

[Zeyphersan]

This one?

Fuck, that’s truly awful. According to Wikipedia she’s like 14 in that photo?

Yep, that's a good one. Really good one.

What’s this one?

 

[Lum1n3s]

Omayra Sánchez

Damn, this one is going to give me the chills for a life time. So it looks like that photo was taken right before her death and reading it didn’t help anymore with this photo. 😔

 

[Spiritual_Chaos]

two men embrace each other prior to jumping to their death due to a fire in the windmill they were working on

Damn...

Hard to believe this isn't a movie:

 

[ZackieChan]

What am I looking at here?

 

[KayMote]

Hard to believe this isn't a movie:

Wow, seemed like a fictitious shot out of a thriller at first glance. Context?

Well, it got to be a videogame

On a serious note, the Chernobyl elephant's foot

Wtf is that? An actual elephant?

guy who shot the Russian ambassador in Turkey last year

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Was gonna post this one. Pure hatred in his eyes.

 

[PingPongvonLaserstein]

Without context, it just looks like a poster/painting as seen through a window.

 

[depths20XX]

Wtf is that? An actual elephant?

Nah, it was named that because of the size of the radioactive waste coming out of it.

Finger nail scratches - photo taken of a wall of one of the gas chambers in Auschwitz.

[Curious Puppy]

Two of the most famous Vietnam war photos

 

[Always-honest]

Really disturbing...

Spoiler

...to see that people still post images without context. In 2017

 

[Qasiel]

I don't know why but I've always felt chills when I see the bow from the wreck of the Titanic. Just this twisted, rusted mess jutting out from the surrounding darkness.

 

[MattDM]

This Creeps me out.

The assassination of a Russian ambassador in Turkey.

The guy holding the gun is the assassin.

Looked nice, so I found a bigger image.

Did someone edit the pickup out of the first photo?

On March 19–20, 1997, Marshall Applewhite taped himself speaking of mass suicide and asserted "it was the only way to evacuate this Earth". After claiming that a spacecraft was trailing Comet Hale–Bopp, Applewhite persuaded 38 followers to commit suicide so that their souls could board the supposed craft. Applewhite believed that after their deaths, an unidentified flying object (UFO) would take their souls to another "level of existence above human", which he described as being both physical and spiritual.

maybe it really worked and they're laughing at us with their alien friends

seems like it

Maybe all their alien friends have those Nikes too now.

Not necessarily chills, but one of the only photographs of the last Mughal Emperor of India. They were Persian/Turkic central asians who conquered the subcontinent around the 15th century and traced their lineage directly back to Genghis Khan and his descendents. Responsible for the spread of Islam pretty much throughout South Asia and the creation of things like the Taj Mahal.

His official Imperial painting. Contrast with the image above right before his exile to Burma by the British in 1858.

This Creeps me out.

If it makes you feel better, I took a photo in that exact spot of me sitting underneath one of the lions asses with its balls teabagging my head

 

[Violet_0]

since we're already doing this

a picture of tourists in Italy sunbathing next to the bodies of two drowned Roma girls that went around the world causing outrage, likely unaware of what happened

Egypt woman Shaima al-Sabbagh, who was shot by goverment forces (and died shortly afterwards) at a rally to commemorate the uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak

I don't know why but I've always felt chills when I see the bow from the wreck of the Titanic. Just this twisted, rusted mess jutting out from the surrounding darkness.

Underwater shots always skeet me the hell out.

No idea why, but any photos or videos of underwater wrecks....

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I always found the shadows of people from Hiroshima and Nagasaki to be particularly creepy. This is all that remained of a person, vapourised by a nuclear weapon, their shadow all that remained.

A vac sealed sachet of Charles Duke & his family, which he left behind during Apollo 16 mission. It shows himself, his wife Dorothy, and their sons Charles and Thomas all sitting on a bench. Unfortunately, photographic prints fade pretty quickly, even under relatively controlled conditions, and it's unlikely that you can make out of the photo if viewed today.

It would be even better if the horizon looked level

I recently saw a pic of a black Rhino killed by poachers. I can't upload it right now but it was devastating to see that. Maybe someone knows what I'm talking about and can upload it in place of me.

Yeah. Not quite getting it.

My contribution before I proceed to get no sleep tonight

Poloroid of unidentified likely kidnapping victims, found at a gas station left under a spot where a windowless white van was parked. Thought to be Tara Calico and someone else but nothing conclusive
