It looks like some people got lost and they are trying to find a way to get people to notice them so they can be found.
It looks like these adults got lost and they are trying to find them selves out of the woods so that they can go back home wright?
It looks like the people are testing water because one girl is holding some jugs, and the other girl is holding a clip board and observing something. It looks like they are in a really hot, flat area. It looks like a torn american flag but im not sure.
It looks like the people here are testing the water. I can infer this because one of the ladies have a clipboard in her hands, and the other one who is next to her has some jugs in her hands.
It looks like they are testing water bacause the girl has a clip board and the other girl has some jugs.
i think that there trying to give water to an animal or there testing the water caues that lady is holding a clipboard ?
It looks like there putting a flag up or getting water somewhere, don't ask me why!
Look like there trying replace the flag with something better and they want water something i think.
In this picture the women are important work and trying to save the world
There are three older women doing something, one lady is watching them and the other lady is observing the water jugs the the child is holding, it look very hot and important.
it looks like they're checking something out in the ground because there's a large pole in the ground as if something is wrong but that is just a thought cause who knows what they're working on
I think that they're picking up trash
cause there are a blue bin and what llike like more trash
thay are looking what is in that trash can are seen if there is animals in there are thay can give a animal some water
well they look like they are testing the water system check if the ph is right for the area

In this picture there is three ladies standing in a grassy, fenced in field. There is a bent flag pole with a flag attached but because not much of the flag is exposed, I am unable to tell what is on it or what it symbolizes. One woman is holding jugs of water while the other one is holding a clipboard and bending over to inspect the jugs of water on the ground. Because they have on matching t-shirts, bandannas and have their hair out of their face it makes me believe they are apart of an organization or a group that is trying to help animals or people in need of water. They could also possibly be inspecting the water for quality or cleanliness. It also looks hot and sunny out. They could be out in an farm, a place in africa cause of the grass and trees, or just some place hot.
@Dusty Blacksmith I agree with a lot of your observations, it looks like the women are doing important work and are being very careful about it.
@Dusty Blacksmith
beautiful
@Dusty Blacksmith great job dusty : )
To me it seems like there out in the middle of nowhere where it look like its an hot sunny day to me it seems like they have the same t-shirt on so i'm guess they work for a company an they are testing the water to see if its good for drinking or there testing it if there new chemicals or there a leak in the pipe i'm it might even be pipe its probably the rain water an testing if the sky rain is good or not that my opinion have a great day !.

It look like their testing or checking on some water.
@Ashton same
It looks like their testing well because I see a clipboard and their holding water jugs and I saw people testing water before and from that experience it reminds me from that time.
What i think that's going on in this picture is people testing water in the pipes or the water holes in the ground, i also think that there water protectors. It also looks like an science experiment. Because i see big water jugs that one girl is holding, i also see that there all wearing the same uniform.
It really looks like there trying to test some water for the animals that live there, otherwise there checking the water because they want to keep the water supply clean just like they do with other people. And they also look like there putting water out for the animals that live there.
Looks like there testing something , cause that girl has water jugs and the other girl has a clipboard.
what it seems like there doing a test, the woman with the clip board looks like a scientist.
it looks like they are doing something realated to science cause they have water jugs
What it seems like is they are doing a science experience. The lady next to the child is holding a clip board.
They look like they are testing something? The girl w/ the clipboard is a scientist.
@Raymond I agree because they are testing a project and the look like scientists, and they are motivated.
I think some people are doing research on the type of land. To see if there is a good soil source. This is what I think is going on in this picture.
1
@Venicio you may be right.
In the picture i see that they are getting water for a thing they are going to do for other people.
There is what appears to be a barbed wire fence to the Northwest of where the three people are standing denoting a boundary area beyond which they are not allowed to go. The flag? pole is bent towards the fenced in area as an alert they are there? The flag may be a wind sock to track wind direction? I think they may be tending to an animal(s) because the person with the clipboard is leaning in as if to view something and the girl holding the water may be replenishng same for an animal. Or they may be growing something in the blue barrel? And they may be watering it. The two people seem to be intentional and purposeful so I doubt they are there for a picnic or other social outing. The grasses are dry as are the scrub brushes. Perhaps they are taking water and/or soil samples or measurements, the blue round or barrel shaped object may be collecting water. The woman walking towards the two people standing near the blue object appears to be older. Perhaps not. I wish the flag were more visible. I may symbolize a group or organization.
@NLB you did a great job on your reply
@Mikel okay.
I think they are doing chores. Or maybe being normal human beings?! :D

We think that a family without a dad are going up to find a good place to set up a site. So they don't forget, they put up a very tall flag so that when they are done with finding a place to put up the site, tourists can come and see the wildlife and people can infer that it is a research site. We can support this with the evidence of the flimsy, tall flag and the fact that in the picture it shows one boy and girl and a woman with backpacks. We can also support this because the grass color and the tree type both grow in the safari. The people also have milk and water jugs because it gets hot in the safari. This is what we think is happening in the picture.
1
I think these people are volunteering for Earth Day. Earth Day was recent, that's one of the reasons I think this. The area seems dry, and they are trying to save it from desertification. They have water with them, which helps prove my point from earlier. That is why I think they are volunteering for Earth Day.
1
I think these people are on a field during dry season. The girl on the right is holding cartons and the other person is holding a clipboard. I think it might take place in a different country because of the flag. The place is arid or semiarid so it might be in the savanna grassland . They might be taking soil samples or cleaning the area
1
I think that some people are doing research on the type of land that they are on. They might testing to see if the ground is good for crops. This is what I think that is going on in this picture.
What’s going on to this picture is that they might be helping on earth day. What makes me say this is they have gallons of water and some sort of blue tunnel that could maybe have trash or animals. I also see that this could be somewhere in a deserted land and an old flag pole.
1
They seem to be collecting or searching for something, but who am I to know.
1
I think there was a delivery and the three people are there to get them. I also see the a pole that looks like there is a flag at the end of it.another thing I see is that one of the girl is carrying one gallon of water on each of her hands. It looks like there are more gallons of water in the blue jug that’s on the ground.
1
@Lanvin Getigan I agree with you they might be growing a tree who I’m I to know.
Groundwater collection, because of the blue pipe (maybe) and water containers, also a woman recording some sort of data. The bent flagpole could be a marker for the locals or themselves.
1
@Crosby I agree, they are definitely helping with water
What's happening in this picture is that they are taking soil samples. Because they need to see if the land is good to plant. Because there's no water that's why they brought there own.
They are on an african safari. Children are setting up water stations. I think that they are helping where ever they are at. They may be feeding animals. That is what I think is happening in this picture.
@Aiden I agree with you about the African Safari because the background looks a lot like it. You can also tell that they are helping with something that includes water.
@Aiden I agree that they could be in an African safari based on the background.
What I think thats going on in this photo is that they are doing something that has to do with helping clean up the Earth. I think the kids are volunteering to help the world become better, by cleaning the trash up.
In this picture it seems that these folk are taking weather surveys because of the rod in the sky. The rod could be some sort of thermometer or humidity tester.
@Dillon I disagree, because they have water jugs and on the ground it looks like it was a box that was delivered for food & drink purposes.
These people are trying to find lions. And they are luring them in with buckets of water or some delicious steak. The reason why they are trying to lure them in, because for a new show on animal planet.
These people are trying to find lions. And they are luring them in with buckets of water or some delicious steak. The reason why they are trying to lure them in, because for a new show on animal planet.
These kids are watering a tree. The tree is growing straight up.
@Ella I agree with you because I can see the tree growing straight up from the ground also.
In this picture, it looks like a group of tourists looking at something. This could be a land mark or an animal.
in the picture i see a flag pole bent over on one side of a fence. On the other side i see three people it does not seem like they are harming anyone or anything in fact it does look like they are trying to help by giving the other side of the fence water. In my guess it is some place like Africa?
I think the people in this picture or on a hiking trip because of their bags. I think they stopped because they realized the weeds and plants were not healthy. They went over and shared some of their water from the trip to be good citizens and water the plants. That rod is a tool they're using.
The people are in the lion king and are putting water buckets all around for the lions.
I think these people are dumping these gallons of water into a huge bucket to try an catch a couple of animals in action to see how they react.
these kids are planting flowers in india because it is ugly there.The water jugs are so the flowers do not die.
i think that these people are getting ready for the gay rights rally this week. they are hanging up the rainbow flag and are bringing the ceremonial water for drinking.
In this picture I see three women in a field with a bent flagpole. I think the women might be scientists doing experiments on the ground moisture. The one that has blonde hair looks like she is carrying two jugs of water. At the edge of the fence there appears to be some sort of blue tunnel. I think they might be dumping water into the blue tunnel. It looks like might be in a field in dry season because there is water in the field. It looks like there is a fence for some reason. At the top of the flagpole there is some sort of flag.
@Mason, May 1st I agree i think that they are helping out with water
@Mason, May 1st
I agree with you!
They might be testing the water quality.
I believe in this picture that there are some kind people lending a helping hand. The people that are present in this picture look as if they are all wearing light gray t-Shirts and some black pants/shorts. In this picture there looks to be a pole with a old flag on it. The flag looks as if it might be aA american flag. It looks as if very few people know about this. The reason I believe this is because it looks to be woods behind them and looks as if the land is deserted. It also looks like there is an animal in the picture because one of the people if leaning down as if they are looking at something such as a wild animal. Another reason I believe this because there looks to be a young women with two gallon jugs and one looks to be full and the other one looks to be half empty which may represent that she gave an animal some water. I believe that these people are just doing what there instincts may have told them. This is just my opinion but I hope you enjoyed reading it, bye!
Today's picture looks like, There are people standing to fix this bending flag. There are trees surrounding them. Long grass is below their feet. One of the people has this jug of liquid. They are all wearing at least short sleeves or shorts on. So I'm assuming that it's not that cold. There's another person with these tools on a belt wrapped around her I think.
1
In this picture, there is three people that seem to be wearing the same shirts. They all can be apart of a Clean up group (program) or they are trying to conserve the water. The reason I say that is because the field they are in seems dry (drought). Another thing they could be doing is an experiment with the water. I think the three people are in a foreign country, because of the flag on the pole.
1
I think the people live in this area and because everything is dead and brown I presume there dead. The blue pale there using to fill the jugs must be full of water . The water is most likely from a recent rain shower and there collecting it for drinking and bathing themselves and there clothing. They may be setting the water under the flag because its a insulator so it will protect the dry ground from fire.
The people in this picture are putting a tall flag up. They are going to put the ashes of a family member there. They have jugs of water to drink because its hot.
There are three friends that are happily playing. They are going to make a community. Their first step is to set up a flag to represent their community. Next they will set up forts. Last, they will invite more friends to come and enjoy the community.
This picture seems like it was taken in Africa, where there are 3 women, possibly researchers or scientists, who might be studying something.
@HUNTER
I agree with the fact that they doing some research. But I think they might be testing the water
I think these guys are setting up a new flag to mark the U.S. land. They are taking it away from the ugandans trying to find their secret hideout so they can get there technoligeos ya know what i'm saying.
In this picture, there are three people in the middle of a field with a bent pole (with a flag at the top). They have cartons filled with what could be water and they are near some sort of blue bucket. What it could be is an old fashioned water station in the field. There are no big clues about where this picture takes place.
I think they found a dead or hurt animal in Africa , and is trying to save it life or if it is dead they trying to move it. the girls there i think are vets and might be doing some type of study.
I think that there is a community clean-up in Harrisonburg. I think this because there is trash that they are picking up. I feel it is a really good area that needed clean up also. I think that the flag used to be used before the family moved out and they just forgot about it.
I think it a volunteer group in the great plains during the summer for some type of testing for water. One of the girls are holding a clipboard to keep track of data, and the other girl is holding two clear water jugs. The flag in the back is there to mark were the water is. They could also be doing something else because there is a fences and a blue barrel with dirt in it. So maybe dirt testing.
@Nickole
I kind of agree with you. I think they are somewhere in Africa and I also think they might me doing some kind of water quality testing.
In this picture, I think that this is set somewhere in Africa. The people that are here could be investigating the quality of life of the native Africans. They are exploring parts of the land that people are living in, and looking at some of the water that they have to drink.
Once upon a time, there were kids who wanted to play life size monopoly. Right now, they are on the way to GO, and they landed on Community Chest. But since this is life size monopoly, you actually have to dig up the chest. When they finally found the chest, they opened it and all they found were the jugs of water. Now they are mad because they thought they were going to get a million dollars, and the girl in the black pants is about to beat up the girl in the other pants, because she is the one who got them into this.
I think that they are putting up a metal pole stuck in a barrel of water. I think that they are doing that to see when the storm comes and lightning strikes the pole, if the water will boil.
In the picture it looks like people are testing for something or experimenting. They are in the middle of the wilderness and may be researching or testing environmental issues like rain percentage or maybe some type of animal test that records data about survival rates or habitats. I think this may be in Africa.
It looks likes a group of people is marking springs. They also appear to be in Africa and they might be trying to get water for some villages that are nearby this could be some organization trying to help people in a drought. They could also be doing soil testing since they have a bucket filled with dirt on its side.
In this picture I see a few people that look like they are checking something out. I also see a blue bucket in the grass that looks like it maybe be holding soil. I don't know what's going on with the flag looking thing in the back, but it looks like it's ripped.
i think that it is a group of scientist that are testing the water and filling water for cattle
These people appear to be researching whatever is marked by the flag. Now, as to what that may be, I have no clue. But clearly it involves at least 4 gallons of water.
they are flying a kite
In this picture, the people look like they're at some sort of animal trap. They could be scientists at a local reserve trying to gather info on an animal or the habitat their in. The one lady holding the water jugs may be trying to give water to a young animal and the lady with the clipboard is writhing down the information they need.
We think that it's a group of volunteers in a dry area. They are studying the weather to learn about global warming.
@lfcWelcoming i agree because they look like they are doing a project.
I think that this group of people are some sort of scientists, who are testing the water.
I think this, because there is someone who is holding a clipboard, showing that they are keeping track of something. There is also the woman next to her holding jugs of water, possibly to be tested.
I also see that they are in a warm climate, because of the vegetation and their choice of outfits. I also see a flag and a fence that both look weathered and beaten up, so they probably aren’t in a first-world country.
The people in this picture are doing scientific research on soil. They are searching for a rare substance that is not known yet.They have the flag to let the people know where the spot is to find the substance.
@Dylan I agree, maybe there are trying to discover something new.
I think these people in this picture might be setting up a camping site. Or the woman holding the water is bringing people water who need it. Another possibility is that they are doing some kind of water experiment.
I think people are giving water to people in need or they are doing an experiment with the water. You can tell becuase they have water jugs and giving a water jug to a person. Also there is a big flag in the air that can notify to people where they are located.
In this photo, there are three individuals standing in a field that seems to have recently experienced a fire. I say this because the grass and trees seem to appear dead and the top of the trees look singed. The people in the picture are carrying gallons of water and it looks to be around midday when the photo was taken. Judging by the landscape, it looks like they may be somewhere in Africa. There is also a flag pole with a tattered flag flying in the center of the image.
Our students guessed that this is a photo of university students checking the dry hay to see if it usable. Animals like horses, pigs, cows might eat the hay or use it to lie on.
We think this group is testing the climate. One woman is holding what look to be water bottles, perhaps testing the water in that area, maybe water levels.
I think that these people in the picture are trying to get water from the ground. This is a field which is in the middle of nowhere. Maybe, these people are trying to do an experiment of different water types in different areas. The long pole in the background is probably a flag so anyone who gets lost knows where they are at.
In this picture, I think the people are taking samples of something such as water. I think this because the one girl has two jugs of what looks like water, and another girl is recording something on a clipboard. However, I think another possibility could be a natural disaster occurred. I think this is also a possibility because it looks like there is a flagpole behind the people and the flagpole looks bent.
I think they are doing an experiment on water to see how a water cycle works. they use a flag to show direction..,, so they remember where they are located in this big field
In this picture, I see three women standing in a field. They look like they are in a hot desert area, because they are not wearing heavy clothing and the plantlike around them looks to be dead and dry. I think that these women may be conducting some sort of water test or experiment. I think this because one woman is carrying two gallon containers. Another woman looks like she is bent over observing something, with a clipboard in her hand.
I think people are trying to use something to scoop dirt up so they can plant a flag near a fence. Everyone is helping to stick up the flag the right way. People are holding something.
There is kids trying to make a lake to fish in and the women in the black pants is saying that it's impossible. The days went on and the kids eventually created the lake and put some fish in it. Once the kids grew up got kids and the husband and his friends divorced their wives and went fishing.
I see a pole and a flag. I see that they are outside in the middle of nowhere with jugs of water. I think they are building a tent outside in order to sleep in for camping.
These people seem to be carrying jugs of what I think is water and they could be putting up this pole. These people I think are puting the water in a container of some sort. They could be putting out water for some type of endangered species of animal that are in an area where there is little to no water there. The place looks dry and might not have any water. It seems to be in an enclosed habitat and I think there could be a lion or some big animal that they are giving water to with that big blue tub. I think this could be in the Netherlands because of the colors of the flags.
In this picture there is three ladies standing in a grassy, fenced in field. There is a bent flag pole with a flag attached but because not much of the flag is exposed, I am unable to tell what is on it or what it symbolizes. One woman is holding jugs of water while the other one is holding a clipboard and bending over to inspect the jugs of water on the ground. Because they have on matching t-shirts, bandannas and have their hair out of their face it makes me believe they are apart of an organization or a group that is trying to help animals or people in need of water. They could also possibly be inspecting the water for quality or cleanliness.
I think they are scouts. They are performing a service project by repairing the flagpole.
We think that this is a group of young people bringing water to the border to help people coming in from Mexico. We think they are putting up a flag to show the way to go, and providing drinking water for people who are thirsty.
We think there is a mom and teenagers in an open grassy area near the woods. They are fixing a flag pole.
It seems that they are testing water, there is a barrel and also jugs of water and on of the woman is holding a clipboard which may be the information of the water. They seem to be in the middle of nowhere, cit is a hot day, and there is a flag maybe to mark their place of where they are
I think they might be doing some type of water experiment. From the looks of it, it’s as if they are in an area that has been marked by the flag and fenced in to possibly keep out wildlife and other things. I assume it’s an experiment because the one lady looks like she is collecting data on her clipboard.
I think this picture has something to do with water sampling and a barrel of something. I see that there is a lady with pen and paper also a girl with water jugs in her hand, with a barrel below,which might be where there getting the old water from. Another thing I found was the pole in the background it kinda looks like it’s markimg the place of the water.
We think this group of people are putting in a flag on the ground. The jugs are to help hold it down.
I think they may be filling a bucket full of water and recording the status of how fast it evaporates. I think they may be doing this because they have water jugs,a clipboard,and it looks as if they have the flag to mark where the bucket is. Also,they could be using the results to find the climate changes between different days. This is what I think may be happening.
I think these people are taking water samples or testing out water by some type of well. There is a flag by them which I am assuming is marking the place where the water is at. I assume they are testing the water because of girl is holding jugs of water and another girl is holding a clipboard.

We think it could be a flag. We're just questioning why the flag is so small.
1
Malakai thinks that they are setting up a tent for a camping trip. I think that the flag might have gotten wrecked and they are going to camp there while they fix it.
@Malakai and Gissell Why do you think their intention is to fix the flag?
We think they are trying to get water because be it looks like they have water in the 2 jugs.
We also think that they are checking the water to see if it is good enough to drink because a lady has a clipboard.
In addition, we think they are checking to see if the land is to dry for the water.
1
We think that they may be looking to find a water spot because it looks like a dry, hot, and open area. They may also be trying to do some kind if research on water or something of the sort. It's hard to tell.
Side note- We think it has to do with water because they have a milk gauge full of water.
we think they are watering the flags
We think a drought is happening Africa because all the plants are dead and children are watering plants.
we think they are experimenting the water because they milk jugs to put the water in and they have a clipboard and a pen to write down there results.
I think the people are taking water samples because the one lady has a clipboard and the other girl is carrying water jugs.
I believe this could be a group of environmentalists taking samples in regard to the area. they are holding jugs of water so they may be taking some drought tests or amount of rainfall from the past few days, They are also holding clipboards so it could be the notes they are taking from their tests.
I think they are on a hard hiking trip and camping trip. It looks like they are setting up a flag to claim their campsite. Also, they have a lot of supplies like jugs and poles which is what made me think that they are on a camping trip.
i think that they are piecing up stuff
from what we think they´re doing an cycle experience cause they have a clipboard and a gallon of water in a middle of a dessert.
In period 2, we think they are either filling a well with water or testing the water because they have a clipboard. We think this because it is a storm shelter and they're taking the jugs down if there is a storm. We also noticed a flag marking a spot, water, and a hole.
We also thought they might be doing a test to see how dry the area is. We thought that because they are bringing water to the buckets and they can see how fast it dries up. After looking again we noticed the stick sticking up, and it looks like a dry area.
Another idea we had was that students are collecting samples or bugs for an experiment or a bug project. We said that because there are three people, and some have clipboards while others are picking up trash or holding water jugs. We also noticed a tipped over garbage can when we looked again.
Our last idea was that it looks like it is spring and a storm may have hit. We said that because the leaves haven't blossomed because it is only April. The flag pole is bent and the flag was ripped. We also noticed that they might possibly be taking water samples.
Looking at the picture, it seems like a group of people and bringing back water in jugs. The area seems pretty remote, like grasslands with little shrubbery and flat ground. The flag seems to be a marker for where there might be some sort of water source.
We noticed that the girl in the picture is holding jugs of water and might be putting them into the blue tub or barrel. We also noticed that there is a tall flag next to them that is tilted. We noticed that they are in a field surrounded by trees. Some of us thought that they could be studying something. Others thought this could be a trash site or recycling. There is also some thinking that it could be an experiment.
Our class has many ideas about what could be going on. We believe that the people could be in the desert for fun or they could be lost. We notice that the people have jugs of water and either a barrel or a ball. We noticed the flag or kite next to them is extremely tall. This could be marking their place so they can find it again. We had some friends mention that it could be a zoo or a place for an animal to live.
People are bringing water to a place where there is a ripped up U.S. flag.
Two people are carrying water jugs towards a ripped up U.S. flag.
The place doesn't get a lot of water/rain, plants are dry and dying. Person with clipboard counting the water jugs. Must be cold, all 3 people are wearing pants, or it must be warm and they are watering the plants so that they don't die.
The Invasion of Poland, known in Poland as the September Campaign (Kampania wrześniowa) or the 1939 Defensive War (Wojna obronna 1939 roku), and in Germany as the Poland Campaign (Polenfeldzug), was an invasion of Poland by Germany that marked the beginning of World War II. The German invasion began on 1 September 1939, one week after the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union. The Soviets invaded Poland on 17 September following the Molotov–Tōgō agreement that terminated the Soviet and Japanese Battles of Khalkhin Gol in the east on 16 September.[14] The campaign ended on 6 October with Germany and the Soviet Union dividing and annexing the whole of Poland under the terms of the German–Soviet Frontier Treaty. This is what's happening in the picture.
I think it could be on some sort of boarder control judging by Th flag.
I️n this picture, I️ see three women, one holding two jugs of water above a blue barrel. There is a tattered flag on the flag pole that I️ think is an American flag because it has red and white striped and blue stars. The environment around the women seems like it's a plain on a safari, and I'd guess that this picture was taken in Africa. I️ think that these women are observing the wildlife and the water supply in the environment. I️ think they are testing this amount of water and conducting research. I️ also see that the women are wearing short sleeves which leads me to believe that they're in a warm climate.
I think that the people (maybe students) are trying to clean up a field in the USA from pieces of plastic from a field, that fell out of the blue container, during a storm or strong wind.
The flag poll is all bend and the container has also fallen over, which suggests there has been a strong wind. I think they are working in a field because of the fence.
I can see that one of the persons is writing something down.
I believe that this is some sort of experiment being conducted by volunteers. First of all, the first person is holding a clipboard and the second seems to hold some kind of jug while looking down at a bucket that is storing something. Second of all, the two people conducting the experiment seem to be wearing similar white/grey shirts. There is also a flag in the background that I believe to be some sort of organization's flag. As for where this could be, I believe that this is in America.
In this picture, there are three people all wearing grey t-shirts in what looks like a grassland area. There is a tall silver pole with a flag on the end, in the background, as well as a barely visible wire fence. The trees and the tall plants indicate that it is a grassland area, perhaps Africa. The people in the picture are all wearing similar clothing, which could mean they are part of a visiting organization. The person on the right is holding two plastic jugs of water which the group could be bringing to other people. The flag could represent a civilization living nearby, which could be where the people are bringing the jugs of water. The wire fence is probably to keep animals out of the area, which could also support the claim that people live nearby because people do not like to have their property taken over by wild animals, which also brings back the idea that this was taken in Africa, where many wild animals live.
1.
a) I think those people are tying to get water from the ground and checking it for bacterias. The flag is there so they will know the locations.
b) It´s because they have a blue thing that´s connected to the ground, and one of the girls is checking for bacterias and writing notes on the clipboard.
I think the picture shows three volunteers restoring a hiking point after it was ruined by a storm hence the torn flag and bent flag pole. I think the volunteers are storing water containers and other medical resources in the blue container. The flag also seems like a medical flag.
Scientists appear to be doing studies in a dry area. They have the area flagged. They are right next to a fenced-off area, possibly a wildlife preserve.
My classmate and I think they are doing an experiment involving something with water. Because there is a serious problem involving an animal due to how they are facing the same place and you can see a shadow.
I think the picture shows three volunteers refilling the blue container with water which is the base for the flag pole. There might have been a storm, therefore flag has been bent. This also looks like it is a checkpoint for hikers as it looks like there are medical resources inside or outside of the blue container.
In this photo, there are three women experimenting on the weather. There is a flag pole with a ripped flag. This suggests that there was some natural disaster that caused the flag pole to be bent and tear the flag. One woman is holding two jugs and another is holding a clip board, which could mean she is taking data on their work. The area that they are in is very dry because the grass is brown and the landscape looks dead. The jugs appear to be filled with water, so they might be testing rainfall in the area. This picture was taken in the present time because of the quality of the picture and the clothes the women are wearing are modern.
I think that this is somewhere in the South-Western United States (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona). This is due to the abundance of Mesquite trees. the barbed wire fencing is most commonly used for cattle and other livestock. Based on the bent flagpole, tattered flag, and the overgrown nature of the land, this is most likely an abandoned lot.
The two women who are standing nearest each other are probably from the same organization as they are both wearing heather grey polo shirts with the same logo embroidered on the shirts.
The blue plastic 55-gallon drum that is between the two women most likely belongs to them. if this is the case then they would most likely be collecting litter (the gallon jugs). The state where they are may have some sort of law that for x pounds of litter there is an $x fine so they are recording the litter found on this vacant lot so that the owner can be rightfully prosecuted.
The woman farthest to the left may be a witness to make sure that the numbers are not fudged, she could also be the landowner who has received word of this taking place.
I think that on the picture they are helping some animal for the high temperatures. They are giving water the animal.
Our class believes it is in a natural park in America. It really be anywhere dry adn hot like Africa or The Middle East, but America seems most likely. We think the flag pole is a mark for the blue container to be found again and an endangered species lies in the container possibly hurt. The ripped flag and bent pole could indicate that a storm passed not long ago. The women are helping the animal and collecting data about it.
I think it is three women beside a flagpole collecting water jugs. They are going to recycle the water jugs.
we think they are going to a trip
I think that it is in the U.S, the women are working in a natural park and doing something related to animals
Our class thinks there is a flag pole in Africa. We think they are doing an experiment.
@Vanessa What else can you and your class infer? What kind of experiment do you think the people are doing?
• What is going on in this picture?
Tracking amounts of groundwater and is keeping track over the year.
• What do you see that makes you say that?
The gallon jugs and the lady is wrighting on what looks like a clipboard.
• What more can you find?
Like a lid on the ground like almost a well.
@Dylan Good observations! I didn't even think that the people could be tracking amounts of groundwater. What other details can you infer? Try using who, what, when, where, and why, to provide an even more detailed answer. For example, where do you think this picture was taken?
They are helping animals get water. The five jugs of water, and the clipboard.
@Jerry This is a good idea. What did you see that made you think that they are helping the animals by providing water?
@Jerry What else can you infer about the people in the picture? Where do you think they came from, and where are the animals that they are helping?
I think they are going to fix the pole that is bent over and the flag is about to fall. They have two jugs of water in her hands to drink because it is hot out there. There is one person that has a belt on their waste to fix the pole.
@Shan I think that they are setting up something like a flag pole or something similar to that.
@Shan I disagree I think they are picking up trash because It looks like it is in the country in weeds.
@Shan I think that they're butting the flag back up because its falling ver so they're putting water in the base.
After considering this photo, we think it's on a farm and the three girls are at a well either collecting or testing the water. The one girl has a clipboard which indicates some water data. As to where the image was shot we are thinking somewhere in the US. One student thinks it could be Africa because of the trees, though others think it's a farm in the US because the trees look like apple orchard trees.
In this picture it looks like three girls are picking up. It might have been after a storm because there is a flagpole in the back that is bent. Also the flag on the pole is ripped up.
@Barydon I agree that this could be a likely possibility. Also if you look at the sky in the picture, there are clouds that seem to be gathering up or separating from each other, as if there was a storm or will be one.
I think they are collecting samples of something like water or picking up trash
@Hunter I think they are picking something up from under the grass
I think they are are collecting water samples, because the lady on the left has a clipboard and the lady on the right has jugs in her hands.
It looks like they're trying to find or rescue an animal because as the picture shows they're three ladies that are looking at the ground.
People are picking up the trash in a place that is desert type so there is not so much garbage.
@amy lili
What makes you say this place is desert type? Also, I like your observation about the fact that there is not alot garbage. Why would you make this connection to the desert?
they are in a group of 3 with the same shirt i think they are picking up trash
@mirelsi I️ didn't notice their shirts - this was a great observation! Why do you think that the women are picking up trash?
so i think it means... like they are fishing in the area or they are camping or they are just putting up a flag
@lilly Where would they be fishing? I don't see any obvious water.
@lilly
What makes you say they could be fishing?
In this picture it looks like they are flying kite while picking up trash.
In this picture I think that there are three ladies and they are going around a dry sunny large mass of land and picking up trash and other items. The reason I say that is because two of the ladies have trash or some type of thing they picked up off the ground.
What I think is going on in this picture is these people are cleaning up a filed for earth day. Or these people are fixing the pole so it does not fall over or they might be taking to pole down.
I think the two teens are doing a science experiment in the dry lands because of the gallon jugs, pole and one of the ladys have a paper like they are following directions. orthey could be cleaning up the environment.
Thanks again for a great day's work! Be sure to continue looking to see what more you can find, and don't forget to revisit the blog on Thursday when the image caption and article link are revealed....See you next Monday!
Thank you @Citlaly, and everyone else, for your curiosity. Over the course of today there have been numerous observations and interpretations generated. The dry, arid (having little or no rain; too dry or barren to support vegetation) land references a savannah (a grassy plain in tropical and subtropical regions, with few trees), the fence - a border, the people - scientists/researchers or a team of environmentalists involved in research, possibly delivering assistance to natural wildlife or disaster after-effect relief.....the flag may well be a marker of some sort. The water jugs have been a central driving point to imagining the several possible narratives! It's amazing how much you've all been able to pull from the limited information provided in the photograph to deliver such a wide range of interpretations!
In this photo I think that they are picking up trash. I say this because the women on the right looks to be holding two empty jugs. I think that they are out in africa somewhere by the way the trees look.
In this picture there are three woman helping out the environment. They are picking up some gallons. They're milk gallons, water bottles and cans.
maybe they are picking up trash so animals don't get hurt by it
@ashton I think you are right to but I think the water jugs in the one persons hand is clearly full so I think they are taking water samples or other kids of samples.
@ashton How does animals go along with people in long dry grass? I think maybe they are trying to fix things that have been wrecked or ruined. Nice idea anyway!
A group of 3 people (that appear to be wearing the same shirt) are outside near the woods on an amazing day, with jugs of water, a blue barrel and plastic. I think a group of scientists are testing something in Africa or maybe even South Africa.
@Isha G and @ Alexa have posed a new theory - that ther is some type of tunnel the two women are interacting with, possibly helping an injured or stuck animal or possible a storage space for the water jugs we see in the image. Most agree that, indeed, there is some type of work being accomplished. What more can we find?
@VTS Moderator
there, not ther, and, possibly, not possible ....oops!
i see scientist looking at something and taking notes on data in a dry field. they look to be at a pipe and the lady near the pipe holding jugs of water they seemed to have marked the area with a flag to know were it was. it looks the be garbage or a recycling bin since it was a blue trash can. i see trees dead grass and its cloudy out
in this picture it seems as if they are picking up trash in a dry desert. just doing some environmental work.
I think in this picture that these people are trying to make some sort of project. Judging by the gallons, the pole, and the other supplies. My other idea is that these people are trying to make something for the place they are in. It makes me curious of why they are doing this. That was my first question of this picture and my other questions are: Why did they pick this place that made it a good place to do what ever they are doing? And what is the purpose of this picture?
I see three people and a flag pole and there is also a fence that they seem to be getting water by.
A skydiver is going too high up to the sky in Africa.
Al 9one of the workers) is from southern Ilinois. He loves to skydive.
Some people are storing away water and they are marking it with a large pole or rod in the air so they can see it from far away. I see what looks to be jugs of water and a large skinny object in the sky pointing upwards. They look to be in the middle of nowhere and there is something hanging on the end of the pole or rod.
I think three kids are traveling in the middle of nowhere because they brought backpacks with two jugs of water. The flag might want to represent their country/organization.
It's looks as maybe these three girls are picking up trash or maybe experimenting on this dry land. The land looks as it is a desert type area where it doesn't get a lot of rain, the grass is dead and the trees look like they are almost dead. The pole seems to have a flag on it and the pole is bent so im thinking that there was some sort of natural disaster and they are experimenting that.
In this picture the three women are collecting the trash around a torn and ripped up flag on a bent flagpole. There is a blue bin that they are putting the trash that is recible in.
I see three women. One women seems to be like a person watching the other 2 women doing something. The other 2 women are wearing the exact same shirt and both have tools. One of the women has 2 jugs in her hand which look to have water in them. The other has a clip board and seems to be looking in a tunnel of some sort examining it. I think these women are helping a village or something gather water.
It seems in this picture that they are setting some type of flap or a radio poll. It looks like they are in the savanna of somewhere where lions would be or they are I the woods.
Many of us are picking up on the idea of the activity in this image being related to environmental work @Isha G, or a natural disaster @Emma F., or possibly even border issues @James Carlsen.... what visual evidence can we find to corroborate these speculations?
What I think is going on this picture is they are out in the country I think Ohio , Reenacting old war scenes or fixing fences or collecting wheat .Why i think this is because of their outfits , Flag and the bukkets and the milk jugs so they have room to store/carry stuff .
This picture seems like it was taken in Africa, where there are 3 women, possibly researchers or scientists, who might be studying something.
Doing some kind of environmental work in what seems like some rural area in the south POSSIBLY somewhere in the desert
kids and an adult flying a kite
This picture shows 3 women standing in a field or rural area. They are surrounded by trees and tall grasses and plants. There is a ripped up flag behind them, which tells me that people don't visit this place often. There is also a small fence behind them. Two women are wearing similar clothing, and one is holding two jugs of water and the other is writing something on a clipboard. There seems to be a blue plastic bucket or item behind them. The two women holding the equipment and standing near the blue item might be researching an environmental factor like the water or soil content. They could also be trying to save an animal that got stuck. The third woman might just be a bystander or someone who is looking at what is going on.
This picture was taken in a savannah place, with tall grass and many trees. Some women look like they are an expedition and they are setting up camp for the night. They have brought water to keep themselves hydrated, and the flag to let other people know that there are people in this area.
Many of us are picking up on the idea of the activity in this image being related to environmental work @Isha G, or a natural disaster @Emma F., or possibly even border issues @James Carlsen.... what visual evidence can we find to corroborate these speculations? Thanks, and please share more!
After going over this picture, I believe that they are doing reservations in a foreign country. If you look up the author, there are multiple images of people in foreign countries such as Venezuela. Maybe they are doing something in Venezuela such as cleaning it up and putting fencing up. That cannot be an American flag considering it does not even appear to look like one.
This is taken in a desert region as there is dry brush around them, .There are three women in the photo. Two of them appear to be in similar cothing and be wearing the same shirt. This leads me to believe that they might work for the same compant/organization. The third woman is in regular clothing, meaning she could just be a bystander watching. One woman is holding two jugs of water, while the other owman has a clipboard and is looking into what could be a tunnel of sorts. This leads me to believe that something is stuck in the tunnel, and that the women are from some enviromental or animal organization that does good for nature. There is also a pole that is bent and seems to have an American flag on it. This could mean that they are in America.
There is three women are picking up the trash in the wetlands or they can be scientists. There is a flag that seems to be ripped up. The flag pole is bent. It looks like a natural disaster. They are holding water gallons. The blue circle looks a reclying bin.
It seems as if they are near a boarded area possibly the border maybe they are trying to fix the border
@James Carlsen What makes you say it is the border?
Thank you @Ms. Toni for your many observations connecting the three women in a narrative that synthesizes your observations. The story you've created includes three scientists involved in research, in a protected environment area, which includes the study of wildlife. Having travelled to a dry, rural location with no access to running water, they have carried in their own and are setting up camp.... What did you notice that led you to infer they are studying wildlife?
Thank you for sharing your ideas @BellaT.... you are assuming the area may have recently experienced a natural disaster. What visual evidence led you to this conclusion?
@Walter is working to make meaning of the relationship between the two women whose profiles we see, standing closest to the fence...also inferring the possibility of their clothing being a uniform, while the third woman whose back we see may not be an active member of the group, rather, a bystander or landowner. What are other relationship possibilities might we identify?
In this picture, we see three people who are researchers/ scientists. They may be setting up camp for the night as they study the wildlife. They brought along water which makes me think they are in a rural area with no access running water. It could be very dry there. They seem to be focused on their task. They could be in a protected environment area due to the fence.
In this picture there seems to be three people in an arid region where weeds and plants are outgrown. One woman is holding jugs of water and there are other jugs on the ground. Above them there is a ripped flag. One of the woman's shirt has an emblem which leads me to believe that she is part of a type of organization. Judging by the appearance of the terrain, It could possibly have been the site of a natural disaster. These women might be apart of an organization that is trying to clean or salvage what was lost.
This looks like 2 women making a study about horticulture or conditions of the land. Two of the women have on the same grey tee shirt which could be a uniform. The third woman could be the landowner or a curious bystander. The blue object could be a cover over a hole or a container in the ground. The flag marks the research spot. The two jugs of water seems like the most important detail.
Thank you @Emma for sharing your observations. Many seem to agree that the three women are scientists. What more can we find to substantiate this inference?
In this picture, I see a lady that is holding two gallons of water. All three of the women have a focused look on their faces, which leads me to assume that they have spotted something unusual. Based on the area and the vegetation, I assume that the women might be trying to lure an animal that they might want to research. Based on their focused looks I assume that they have found it. There is a blue bin lying on the ground, which might be the object used to capture the animal. There is some wire behind it which could be there to prevent the specific animal they have lured from escaping. The lady that is holding the two gallons of water has a large flag attached on her back. I assume that the lady has it because it can be used as identification for her and her fellow researchers. She and her fellow researchers appear to be in an area that doesn't have much encounter with people, since there is only vegetation. In case she and her researchers were to get lost, then the noticeable flag would allow it to be noticed by some people.
@Hannah K. what kind of animal could they be luring? What do their outfits say about how dangerous this animal could be?
@Christina
It could be any animal native to the location. Based on the large amount of trees, the large amount of tall grass, etc. the area appears to resemble the Savannah. The three women are wearing long pants to protect their legs, since the grass appears to be tall and could have animals within that could potentially be aggressive. This shows that they are being a little cautious. However, they are also wearing short sleeve shirts which shows that the area is warm. I wouldn't describe their clothing as very protective since their arms are exposed, so the animal they are luring must not be that dangerous.
In the picture, there appears to be a group of people in the middle of the plains. They could be a group of some kind of scientists, doing an experiment to test the water (level, color, content, etc...). This inference can be made because one of the women is writing down notes about what the other woman is doing. The other woman is holding two jugs of liquid, water or something else. They are doing this is a dryer, more desert-like climate.
Others have suggested a specific geographic location, such as Africa....what are some other locations that might fit the climate/environmental observations?
Several have pointed out that two of the figures are wearing short sleeves, which makes us think that perhaps they are in a temperate climate or that it is a warmer time of year. What more can we discover about the weather conditions of this moment in time through close looking?
Some of us are thinking that these individuals are helping, monitoring, or studying animals in this environment. Given the clues in the image, what animals might they encounter in this habitat? What more can you find to support your ideas?
Don't forget to take the time to respond to at least one other person's comment. You can do so by:
1. Asking a clarifying or follow-up question,
2. Agreeing and adding to their idea by sharing additional evidence,
3. Disgreeing respectfully and providing counter evidence (e.g. "I'm reading this picture differently. I think.... I see....")
I think that you are right jm
Contributors are using great terms to describe the place in this picture, including plains (a large area of flat land with few trees), grasslands (a large open area of country covered with grass, especially one used for grazing), and savannah (a grassy plain in tropical and subtropical regions, with few trees). What other words might you use to describe this place?
Note: Definitions in parentheses are from Oxford English Dictionary.
@VTS Moderator another contributor used the term prairie (a large open area of grassland, especially in North America).
In this picture I think these three people are camping. I think they are camping because it looks like they have camping gear on the ground (maybe sleeping bags or a tent) and jugs of water. They have a long pole in the background which may be for if they get lost so people can find them. This seems to be somewhere with a moderate temperature because they are wearing tee shirts and pants. It also seems to be somewhere dry because of the plants around them.
@Erin I believe they are taking data for some time of research.
It looks like there was a big storm and they are trying to clear out the water to remove the flag so they repair it.
@Amber
Why would they need to repair the flag? Why would they have to move the water to do so?
@Amber if there was a bad storm why would repairing a flag be a priority?
What I see is three researchers that are girls and are checking the color of the water in Africa and they are maybe writing down what they see in this week's water compared to the week before water, and then after that they are going to check the wind and which way it is going. What makes me think this is that the middle girl is writing stuff down on a piece of paper and is looking at the water, and what makes me think that it is in Africa is the way it looks.
The people in the picture, three women, appear to be in a prairie/desert environment. One of the women is holding two water gallons, and there are several more on the ground beneath her. There also seems to be some sort of bin on the floor which may be there to collect garbage. Furthermore, next to the women, there is a ripped flag. Based on this, I think that the people there are collecting trash and garbage that might have flown away after a natural disaster affected the area they were in.
In this picture it looks like the people in it are picking up trash and cleaning the land so animals don’t get hurt by eating the trash. But they could be doing community service, for school or something.
Well I see that people have gloves on and a bin, they also have trash in their hands. They also have a flag that shows that they are there at that spot.
I can find that the area they are in is where some animals live.
@Emma Lots of writing so probably right.
I believe that people are cleaning up the area to move new animals into the area.
@LD
If they are cleaning the area, why would they need to get rid of the water? What had been the purpose of that flag?
@Emma
idk bro good point
In this image, I see tall yellow grass with big green trees with what looks like a barb wire fence with a flag on a pretty large pole with the colours white red and blue these are the colours of the French flag. There is a blue sky with large puffy white clouds. The people in this image are all wearing blue shirts and long pants. There is one man who is holding a clipboard and has a black scarf draped over his shoulder. The two women are standing a little ways apart one is walking towards the group and the other appears to be holding two water jugs next to what looks like a blue rain barrel. All the evidence above has led me to believe that the men and woman are testing some water in the grassy plains somewhere pretty hot seeing that the sky is blue they could be doing these tests for a climate change study focussing on the amount of water that remains in remote grassland areas.
@Matthew
good detail.
Its is cool that they are doing that
I believe the photo is a veterinarian doing some work on animals that might be hurt and they are trying to help it to be stronger. This would allow the animals to go on a life a healthier life like it was before it got hurt. One of the people is holding a clipboard that has information and they are recording information down so they can find out what is happing to the animal.
@JM I like your idea that there is a veterinarian. Are all of the people in the photo vets or just some?
@Grace R
all of them are vests
I think the people in the photo may be working for a wildlife preserve or something like that. The reason I think it is a wildlife preserve is because they seem to be in a place like Africa based on the vegetation and the fence behind the people. This might indicate that something needs to be kept behind the fence. I think people are testing the water at the preserve to make sure the water is safe for the animals to drink. It seems like they are testing the water because they have jugs that look like they are filled with water. They also have a bucket behind them that could be filled with water that could be the water they are testing. One of the people has a clipboard and looks to be writing something down that could be the test results of the water. There is a flag in the background; it could be a “do not enter” flag because there is a fence to make sure people do not go into the preserve and get eaten or attacked by an animal.
@Eden I agree with what you said :)
I think that within the image there were three individuals taking some type of test or investigation for possibly Earth Day. I predict that they were trying to clean the air up because there may have been some type of environment spill or an extreme amount of litter in the area. Within the image I saw that there are a few pieces of garbage surrounding the area. Possibly because one of the individuals is holding a clipboard they may be taking notes or doing an experiment about the garbage. I feel that Earth Day inspired and encouraged them to make a difference in some part of the world, even if that was only a small section.
I believe that they are observing a dead body. The person that died was trying to get past the American border from Mexico. I say someone died due to the downward glances and the clipboards. The flag and fence in the background is the border.
@MP
can you please extend your thoughts
I think it is some scientists helping the environment to make it safe for us and the animals. It could also be to clean the sewer or save the animals from be extinction.
@Ben what are the people doing specifically that makes you think they are there to improve upon the environment, rather than to cause harm?
Looking at the types of trees in the area and how dry the fields seem, I can assume that the picture takes place somewhere in an African savannah. It could also be is Australia or some other dry place in the world. The bent and torn flag in the picture could have been caused by a storm or something and the three people could be there to check it out. However one person has a clipboard and another person has two cartons of what seems to be water. Maybe the flag was meant to mark something and the three people are studying it for a long while to the point where they supplied themselves with tons of water.
@Jaylah I agree with you. I see people doing some kind of marking on the land. I believe the clipboard is to write what kind of things they found on a science experiment. I did that one year for my class, and it looks like they are more advanced but generally doing the same thing.
@Emma thanks for replying in a positive and generative way! @Jaylah, your idea that the flag may be marking a location for an experiment is a new one! Thank you!
I see 3 siblings in the plains of Alabama taking measurements of some sort of fungus growth. I see dead grass and a confederate flag plus one of the siblings has 2 jugs of water. The water may be used for stimulating the fungi. The blue circle may be wind protection for the fungi. I also notice that there are no tall trees in the surroundings of the fungi. This indicates that they are in some sort of grassland.
@Richard Shalomski
very cool
@Richard Shalomski thanks for sharing. Can you speak a bit more about what you see that makes you say that these figures are siblings?
@Richard Shalomski
why
In this picture they might be searching for wildlife or testing water. Considering that they have water buckets and i can see a blue shield that the people are covering. This may be for shielding an animal or for collecting water. This may be in a place in France considering there's a french flag in the background. The people are all wearing similar outfits which means this might have something to do with a work project or they might be part of a association.
I think that they are people that found an animal in Africa. They are there to help the animal and the blue tube could be there to block the sunlight from hitting the animal.
I say that because they have some sort of flag maybe up close or in the distance and it could be indicating that there is a danger of more animals getting sick.
@magha singh that’s a great thought, I didn’t think they’d be helping an animal. I also didn’t think that they’d be using the blue tube to block the sunlight away from the animal.
There are people in the desert and they look like they are taking a break from walking and getting some water from their backpack. In the background it looks like a messed up flag and flagpole. And a fence is blocking them from the flag. There are tree bushes all around with dead high grass. and I think their all there to fix the flag.
It looks like they are testing the soil to maybe put something there. The flag is there to show them the spot they need to go. Because one of them is holding two jugs of water the other is holding a clipboard to test the ground to build something.
@briar
What evidence in the picture allows you to assume that the people are testing the soil.
There are 3 researchers in a wooded field . There is a long pole by the fence on top of it is a flag. there is a blue tub it looks like the girl in the gray shirt and brown pants has 2 gallons of water and she will put the water in the tub maybe too see how how the water evaporates with the wind speed
@Mrs.Ridout’s 5th grade ESL Hi! Thanks for sharing your ideas about this image. Your class has used some great describing words to clarify what you are seeing and talking about. Can you share a bit more about what you see that makes you say the figures are "researchers?" Do their actions; their clothing/accessories give us clues?
@Mrs.Ridout’s 5th grade ESL Why do you think they have the long pole with the flag on top?
Given the presence of the fence and flag some of us are thinking this image may depict a physical border between two countries. As we think about the nature, history, socioeconomic implications, and complications of borders, I wanted to point out that technology, specifically this forum, has helped reduce boundaries and bring people from all over the world together. In the last two hours, individuals and classes from the following countries have contributed to this rich conversation:
-Canada
-England
-France
-Iceland
-Italy
-Laos
-Switzerland
-US
Did I miss anyone?
How awesome! Thanks for contributing. Keep up the conversation!
In this picture it looks like people are making their own flag. Or they are making something for nature because I can see that they have water jugs and it seems like they made a habitat for something. It looks like they are at a dry place like Africa or somewhere else, the sky looks clear other than a few clouds here and there.
@Shailey Why do you think they are making a flag? What do you think it is for?
In this picture there is three people that look like they are putting water in the blue bowl for an animal or something. There is a flag pole that looks like it could mark a location or where they live. The flag pole is really tall so it might be to find them if the get lost.
@Cason has shared thoughts about what/whom these people may be leaving water for, and has suggested a reason for the height of the flag pole. Connecting this to some other comments about the flat landscape in the picture, one can surmise that this flag could be visible from a great distance.
I think people are installing a well maybe because they have water jugs. There is a big pole there so that might tell people that they are putting something there so do not go over there. They do not want the people to go over there because they are installing something and they do not want people to mess it up.
people in stalling somthing on there proprty like a water thing
Our class thinks that the picture might be:
- scientists doing an experiment
- or cleaning up garabage
- or fixing the flag after a storm
- or they may be lost
- or putting a flag in the ground
- or maybe they are hunting for food
- or they may be hikers
- or pouring the substance from the jugs into the blue thing
- or maybe they are having a picnic
@Grade 1/2 Gaines thanks to your class for the awesome list of possibilities. Have you narrowed down the possible scenarios? Come to a consensus about what's going on? Ask students to provide some visual evidence of their theories and then take a class vote to see what interpretations rise to the top!
It does look like they are putting resources and that flag helps people know were they are putting the resources for the people who are traveling and it might be for migration purposes or it might be just to help anyone who needs it and can't afford food and such.
Some of us are wondering if the flag on the pole is American, given that it seems to have a red, white, and blue pattern on it. The flag seems pretty worn/damaged, perhaps by wind or other weather, making it hard to clearly identify. Are there other possible ideas of what/whose flag this could be?
its two kids and a parent going out to a feild and flying a kite cause that might be a fun activity to do for them
Several contributors have shared that they think that this may be a place where refugees, migrants, or immigrants are able to collect water while on their journey. This hypothesis has me thinking about the people not pictured here, who may be impacted by this place and by the work those pictured are doing. What more can we find?
Looks like they are experimenting beacuse one person has a clipboard other one has milk jugs and there is a blue round pool looking thang
It looks like they might be doing a science or environmental project. We noticed that they are in a field or maybe a flooded field. The people have water jugs. We are not sure if they are adding water or collecting water to the blue thing. That could be a trap, a tent, or a barrel. We noticed the flag. Not sure if it is a state flag or country flag.
@Language Arts thanks for sharing your ideas! Can you talk a bit more about what makes your class say this may be a flooded field?
Thanks for opening up possibilities about what the flag may represent. Many have suggested it represented the US given its colors, though to your point it could represent a state, or even another entity.
Many are wondering if the people in this image are conducting an experiment on the soil, water, animals, or weather in this location. Some evidence gathered so far are the clear jugs, the blue object on the ground, and what may be clipboard. What do you need to conduct an experiment? What more can you find?
In this picture it looks like they are making a balloon because they have a giant balloon with a flag type thing and some water gallon buckets. Because i've seen something like this on YouTube. They send something up in the air and it tests the air and temperature ect. People also do this with water and drinks and see where it will land and stuff like that. But i believe they are doing tests in the air.

@David based on prior knowledge, you think this picture records people creating a balloon to test the air. Can you share more about what you know about these types of experiments? Thanks!
Maybe that they are lost and they don't know where to go. One of them has a jug of water and is trying to save the water to do something with it or drink it when they are thirsty. They could also be claiming that as they're land or a sign as help because maybe they are lost and have no clue where to go.
This picture looks like these people are trying to cross that fence because they have a gymnastic ball which would BOUNCE them over. They have water because maybe they are exercising or because its very hot. It looks like they're on the West Coast because those trees look like they have no life and the grass is dried out. They look like they are holding the Confederate Battle Flag. They look to be 14-15 year olds maybe doing an experiment for their class in science or social studies.
I see the people in this picture examining something in a dryer climate. One person is holding what looks like jugs of fluid, maybe water. Another person is holding a clipboard and seems to be taking notes. There is also one person whose back is faced towards the camera, but she appears to be walking. I think the people in the photo may be wanting to fix up the area they are in and are making plans to do so.

@Grant thanks for sharing. Can you share a bit more about what you see that makes you say "they are holding a Confederate Battle Flag"?
Several contributors have mentioned that this scene appears to be on the border between the US and Mexico. For those in agreement, reply to this comment to share what you see that makes you say that. For those who disagree, reply to share what makes you think otherwise!
Based on the images it seems to be people working on a farm or dry area looking for plastics and cleaning up. The blue in the center of the photo looks like a bin, possibly a blue recycling bin. The lady to the right is holding plastic jugs and is probably going to put them in the bin. The lady on the left is holding a clipboard and seems to be wearing a sanitation worker uniform, lanyard, vest, tools, etc. Based on the bent flagpole it appears to be a country with a red, white, and blue flag, probably America. I believe it is America because of the pattern of red and white stripes with a hint of blue in the corner.
I think they found somthing that was from a long time ago and the girl that has a clipboard is taking notes and i think they found a flag that is all beat up on the ground.
It looks like women are cleaning up garbage in some area. They are holding jugs of water and it looks like there is a blue garbage can on the floor with other items of garbage.
I think that there was a big wind storm and the flagpole got messed up and bent. I think this because the flagpole is bent and the flag is like all shredded.
I think that they're helping an animal. Because they have jugs of water and the women to the left has a clipboard. Also have something around her neck.

It looks like a group of people around a border. They might be resupplying on water for some sort of purpose, maybe from a drought. These people look like interns or volunteers from the South Texas Human Rights Center. They could be resupplying water for migrants stuck there on the border during a drought.
The people in this photo look like they are at a water dispenser in Africa or a mild and dry climate. I make this inference because you can see the women holding water jugs and the pole in the background looks like it marks the spot so people know where it is.
It looks like the people are helping a animal or they might be doing a experience in the ground. The only reason I think that is because the lady with the blue thing around her neck is holding a clipboard and is carefully looking at the women who's crouching down to the ground.
@Tyson:your right
This picture looks like it is in the African Savannas. This could be the Savannas because the vegetation in the back is extremely dry. Also, the women are in short sleeves and pants, suggesting the warm climate. There are 3 women all wearing a similar shirt. They could be a part of an organization that cleans the Savannas. There is a garbage can right in front of the women in the back. The one to the right is holding two gallons of water. The one to the left is holding a clipboard. She could be keeping track of what trash they are collecting. The third woman is walking over to the other two. There is a beat up flag on a bent pole in the back. Suggesting this area is abandoned or poor. There is also a barbed wire which could be used to keep animals in the field behind it or to keep people out. The women could also be distributing water to places in need. Through the grass, you can see more water jugs on the ground. These women seem to be a part of an organization that does good for the world.
While looking in the photo, the viewers are shown that these people are in an area that may be Africa. They are holding jugs of water; therefore, they may be going to children or families. These people as well look as if they are community workers, so they may have come to help children who are sick or are in need of help
These people are doing a podcast on the border in Brooks County. This is due to the fact that South Texas, where Brooks County is located, is the location where a lot of illegal immigrants have been coming in recently.
@Giada
What makes you believe that they are in Brooks County or doing a podcast?
I think they found somthing that was from a long time ago and the girl that has a clipboard is taking notes and i think they found a flag that is all beat up on the ground.
In this photo, it looks like three people are in a place with a dry climate. These people look as if they are testing the water, as one woman has a clipboard in her hands, or trying to help out with the water they have in another woman's hands.
It seems as if a couple of volunteers are helping supply water since a woman is holding two water jugs. The area seems dry and the grass is mostly dead which indicates barren land.
In this picture, there are three women who appear to be experimenting, or gathering data, in a dry area. One women is holding what looks like a clipboard and taking notes, while the other is experimenting. There is, after the weeds and grass, many more materials for their experiment, as well as a large bucket. They lady going back to the others most likely went out to see if she could find any pieces of evidence to help them get the information they needed.
In this picture i see some farmers doing some work then in the background i see a flag bending because of the wind
@Joseph Romano
If the flag is bending in the wind, how do you explain the flag being ripped?
i think that there trying to get something or trying to figuer something out like a science experiment they are all hudled around a blue buket and are tring to figure something out 1 of the ladies have some tools and the other is holding 2 juges and it looks to be a black and white animal or something else and there seems to be another person that is comeing towds them slowly and the girl with the 2 jugs is holding a huge flage type thing and they seem to be in africa or something like that they are by a wired fence and they seem to all be looking at the ground so i think that it is some sort of science experment or they are vet's trying to help a animal and i think that they are trying to help it.
I think that there was a big wind storm and the flagpole got messed up and bent. I think this because the flagpole is bent and the flag is all shredded. I think they have the clipboards to do some like research.
It looks like the people are doing a experiment or something like that. They might be doing something in the ground or trying to fix something.
There is an interesting dichotomy that has surfaced as we have looked closely at this image--a dry landscape and the presence of water. Many have pointed out the arid climate in this image. @Julia M mentioned that the figures "appear to be in a very dry area because the trees are bare and the grasses are brown." And others have shared that these figures may be carrying, replenishing, testing; leaving water. Water is essential to all life. What more can we find?
they are doing some kind of scientific test using water, maybe the flag is there to mark their test, they could possibly be testing something to do with the climate
I think what they are doing is putting up a flag to mark off where the animals could stay in the wild and where hunters can't kill the animals. The fencing also helps this by showing where it closes off in the land.
@Condurius Prime What more can you find? What makes you think they are marking off here animals could stay? What other evidence can you find to support this?
This is probably a picture of volunteers some kind of work in Africa. You can tell it is Africa because of the dry grass and the trees.
So, it seems as if these two ladies are at the U.S.-Mexico border. I have no idea what else they are doing, maybe setting traps? I'm not sure. However, I do know that they are at the border.
I see people digging a well or removeing an old flag or trying to get water from ground water.
@CONNOR thanks for sharing. What evidence can you find to support your three different hypotheses? Given the evidence in the image, or lack thereof, do you stand by one of your inferences over the others? For which can you make the strongest argument?
What I see in this picture is people, a dry area, a flag, trees, water jugs, a person holding a clipboard and a blue barrel. I think that these people are either testing water in a dryer climate, or looking for something. Also I think that they could have found something and are now doing some test on what they found.
@Emily@Emily What might they be looking for? What might they be testing other than the water? What do their surroundings tell you?
I see people that look like they help people in africa that cant find water and also help out at a place that takes care of people at war or people that need medical help. They might be digging a hole for water.
@Hailey sounds like you are in agreement with some other contributors that this is a location where people can receive water. In addition, you have added a new idea to our conversation--that this is perhaps a place where medical help is provided. Can you share what you see that makes you say that?

Lots of us are wondering where in the world these figures are. There is some debate amongst contributors. Ideas include Africa, Australia, Mexico, and the US. Support has been offered for some of these locations. Where do you think this image was taken. What do you see that makes you say that?
We think they are doing a science experiment about the weather somewhere in the Unites States.
@ELA can you share what you see that makes you think these people are in the United States?
@VTS Moderator
We think it is in the mid western part of the US-because of the vast grassy plan
An important part of making sense of an image is identifying the people and objects in it. Many have noted the three figures--one of whom may be holding a clipboard, another who is holding two gallon jugs, and another who is approaching them. Others have noticed the pole and tattered flag behind them. What more can you find?
I think there is some sort of science experiment going on. There is a lady holding a clipboard and wearing some type of tools while observing a kite type contraption.
These kids are probably trying to help the land because it looks like on girl is holding two jugs of water the boy also has a clip board with him so i think they have other destinations to attend.
In this picture, I see three women working together collecting spilled trash from a trash dispenser. The three women all seem to be heading towards the other side of the fence with the barbed wire and untrimmed area I believe this is a wildlife reserve.
It looks like some students, are cleaning an enclosure, for a wild animal, or have found something toxic on the ground that is endangering the wildlife, or there doing some kind of research on a certain part of a piece of land.
Good morning! Thank you for joining in on the conversation today. I look forward to hearing your observations and interpretations of this image!
I believe these people are putting up a flag somewhere in the United States. It seems they are holding a string that has a banner that seems to be a flag . They are walking through grasslands that may be a rural area in the US.
@Nicole thanks for sharing. You think this photograph may have been taken somewhere in the US. What do you see in the image that might support your claim?
In this picture I see 3 people working together and that looks like there in a tribe because I see a flag up. I feel as if the flag that is hanged up is to signify that they have reached to their destination. I see one of the girl holding 2 big plastic of water bottle, also see a blue garbage bucket. Their surrounding looks like the place haven't been cleaned in years because the grass isn't green its brownish and the trees barely have leafs on it I wonder why thy haven't passed the other side of the field maybe its restricted.
I see 3 people they are putting up a flag.I think that they are trying to save the area the reason I say that is because it looks like they are cleaning the area and because the area looks like its dying.
I see three girls maybe from an organization performing the recycling program by collecting plastic bottles and other recyclable stuffs in a recycle trash can. One of them is making notes about what they have collected perhaps to make a survey about what they recycled. The site they have selected maybe in the border of two countries or states.
I see what looks like three women beside a flag pole with an American Flag on the end of it. Two of the women look like they're working on something with water jugs and the other woman beside the one with the water jugs has a clipboard. They might be trying to record the results of an experiment with something that has to do with the blue object between them both. The third woman looks like she's coming to help them or is supervising them to make sure they don't do anything wrong or get hurt. They might be trying to conduct electricity or do an experiment with weather. Are they doing this for a job or for fun? I would believe that they could be doing this for a job of some sort.
@Rylee thanks for sharing your thoughts about what the figures are doing, as well as their roles and responsibilities. Can you share a bit more about what you see that makes you say that the flag on the pole is specifically an American flag?
It looks like the're studying electricity because they have a kite.And they have water jugs possibly hold down the kite and so they won't have to hold it and get shocked.or they could be studying weather because it looks cloudy.
This picture seems like these women are trying to do something with atmosphere or maybe they are meteorologists and are trying to collect details this specific area. My question is, why are they in a dessert?
I think that they are seeing if the dirt(soil) is healthy around the pole with the flag.The flag looks ripped and the pole is bended the lady on the right is holding two gallons of water. They look like if they were meteorologists or something related to meteorologists.
In this photo, I think these people are meteorologist and to me it looks like they are trying to see what the weather is by this pole attached to something on the ground. My question is what is attached to the top of the pole and does it mean something?
What I think is going on in this picture is that a group of people are picking up the trash. I say that because one girl has a clipboard and writing how many pieces there are, and a other girl has milk cartons. I also see in the back a flagpole but the flag has ripped and the pole is bent.
By absorbing the image, as one can see there's a few plastic and a blue recycle bin. I think they're collecting plastic around the fence.
In this picture, I see three people. One of them is holding 2 plastic bottles. They appear to be in a very dry area because the trees are bare and the grasses are brown. There is a wire fence behind the people and a flag pole with a flag on the fence. There is a blue recycling bin near the people. They appear to be cleaning up the area but putting the plastic things in the bin. The people are wearing a mixture of shorts and pants, which leads me to think that it is warm, but also it is easier to wear long pants to protect their legs from the grass.
This seems to be located in Africa because of the vegetation (savannah). There are three people who might be American, because there is an American flag. One person seems to be holding a checklist to check off items, while another is holding water bottles. On the ground between them there is a bucket that tipped over, containing more items.

We think that this image shows either trash or jugs of water. It looks very dry and so perhaps they are leaving water for people or animals. The fence might represent a border and the flag represents a country or a water point. We think that these resources might be for refugees or people who are crossing the border. -Gr. 6 Advisory
@Lauren Sandoval thanks for contributing today! Your hypothesis has really made me think about how some people do good work or even volunteer to help others who they may never meet.
We think this scene is taking place during the Fall/Winter because of the brown grass and lack of greenery. So, Northern Hemisphere. We're not sure if that fact that all three people are ladies is important, but they look young, potentially university students. One lady is holding water jugs, and it looks like they are conducting some sort of analysis. Possibly having to do with water. The flag could be a marker, to indicate where they have gone in their analysis.
There is a group of women scientists who are conducting an experiment on a large field which could be in America or Mexico based on the vegetation and environment. The experiment may be based on the ground or underwater soil. There is some sort of metal wire, which looked like there is a flag pole however the flag has broken off somehow. It is a sunny windy day, based off of the angle of the broken flag pole.
I think that they are planting a tree somewhere the Australian outback. I think this because of the dry landscape and the sky. There is a blue bag and they are carrying big jugs of water. The flag is a marker of the boarder.
This seems to be a makeshift water station (for people such as refugees or immigrants to receive water while passing through the area); the people are probably refilling it. The flag (which is now torn) could be there to help them see it from afar or to mark a border or area (as if to say that those people have entered that area or are still in that area).
@Indraneel and Felix thank you for sharing your thoughts. For you, this may be a place where refugees, individuals who are fleeing their country due to conflict or persecution, may be able to pick up much-needed water, and that the flag acts as an indictor of this resource. The figures depicted are there to aid others by leaving additional water. What more can you find?
I think these students are doing a geography trip. In Italy we never do this because the school can't organize trips. They have a massive flag to show where they are.
@FRM Why do you think one girl is holding the bottles? What is the blue bin for?
@Julia M thanks for asking follow-up questions. Consider formulating questions based on the information the contributor has provided, as often that's the 'stuff' of the image that is important or interesting to them!
We can see three people that look like they are looking at something on the floor. They are in the middle of no where, surrounded by some vegetation. They are wearing short sleeves and the vegetation isn't very green, more yellowish. This could hint that the weather is quite warm and dry. Additionally, one of the figures seems to be holding water jugs suggesting that it is dry and water is a crucial necessity. We can see a blue thing which seems to be the object of interest of the three figures. We can also see a flag pole in the background. We believe that this is a place where there is water and these figures are collecting some to survive.
Volunteers are testing whether the water is drinkable. We say this because they have a clipboard and holding water jugs. Possibly the blue barrel is a part of a well or a watering system. We think this could be in Australia due to the flat, dry environment.
@9th Grade Varmahlíðarskóli thanks for sharing your ideas. I appreciate your use of conditional language like "possibly" and "could be," which keeps the door open for other interpretations and even disagreements. You mentioned this could be Australia due to the flat topography and arid landscape. What other places in the world might this photo have been taken in? Are there places in Iceland, for instance, that look like this?
They are environmental scientists who are testing the water to ensure its peak quality, in this remote location. They may be doing this randomly, or they may be responding to a local complaint.
@Dimish
What evidence in the picture allows you to assume that the environmental scientists are testing the water?
In this picture, there are three people in the middle of a field with a bent pole (with a flag at the top). They have cartons filled with what could be water and they are near some sort of blue bucket. What it could be is an old fashioned water station in the field. There are no big clues about where this picture takes place.
There are three women, one woman is holding two plastic bottles. There is a flag pole behind them so this might be a water station and the flag pole indicates where it is. The women look like they are either hiking or camping based on their clothing and equipment.
They are part of an ngo collecting water from the rain or a well. It could be linked to climate change and pollution.
@Magali thanks for contributing. What do you see that makes you ay they are collecting water?
They are doing experiments and the owner is coming to ask them to leave.
The owner does not like them to do some experiment on her property.
I say that becuse she is walking towards them.
@8th Grade Varmahlíðarskóli hello Iceland! Thank you for sharing. For you, the two figures in profile facing each other are working together, and the one whose back is to the camera is in opposition to their work. What more can you find to support this idea?
