In this photo there is an Iraqi prisoner that is being visited my his son. The photo may have taken place during a war time in. The evnt is happening both inside and outside of the barbed wire fence. Inside there is a trapped person, who obviously loved their family, that masybe for resons that were in his control or not in control is now in prison. Outside a war or an unrest might be going on. Perhaps that is the reason why this man is now in prison. He might be happily visiting with his son because he does not know when or if he will ever see him again.

find out the facts about these photographs ...... how will you do that ? ... what kind of research on the internet could you do ? .... could you type into a search engine one of the labels for the post ? what facts would you find out about these photographs if you searched google images, for instance, with the key words " detainee visited by son " ? or " self immolation " ? what awesome things would you learn about to share with us ? think ... express ...explore .....

a man is holding on to a little boy and the little boy looks sick. i don't know who the people are but the guy with the thing on his head makes him look scary.

What i know is that the man in the photograph is an iraqi prisoner. The little boy im not sure who he is but he might be his son. This is most likley happening in iraq.

the photo is of a prisoner craddling/hugging his son. it looks like the photo was taken during a war maybe in Iraq. its a scary position to be in because we're not aware if after the photo was taken, this father and son are still alive. idk, maybe they were killed right after this photo was taken. its a very sad and depressing photo to look at. looking at the photo for a longer period of time just fills my mind with more wonder as to what happened to this small family.

well this picture is recent since it is in color and i am guessing its a man and his son crossing the border to the us. and i seriously can not think of why he has that black thing on his head.
