In this photo you see people jumping in the air. They appear to be jumping from some kind of platform on the left of the image. It also seems as if they jumped from the platform in two groups, because you see two groups of three people in the air. I suspect that this is a performance, specifically a circus performance. I think this is because of the type of decor that can be seen in the background. There seems to be some kind of decor painted with curtains. I think these are some kind of acrobats performing a dangerous act for an audience.
i think the mans are running to a truck that sells free icecream.
So they need to get there very fast and jumping down there is the fastest way to get to the truck, next to the truck is probably a pool so they don´t hurt.
I think these are robbers and they are trying to escape jail. The police is trying to catch them. They are going to land on the roof and hurt a little. They are trying to get into the building to be safe from the police.
These people are trying to do Parkour and maybe about to hurt themselves. I think they might be practicing sky diving and may there something soft below them. Maybe they will land in a pool or trampoline.
It looks like these are a group of performers doing stunts into a pool. I think they are performers because they are all wearing what looks to be like a costume. Also they seem to be doing tricks and flips. I think they are doing these stunts into a pool because it seems that they have just jumped off of a diving board.
A group of men are jumping off of a diving board for a competition of some sort. This is indicated by the diving board on the left side of the picture and the bathing suits that seem to match two groups much like uniforms. The arena like wall in the background also provides evidence towards this as it may be encircling a large pool and seating for guests and other competitors. This picture was taken in the mid 1900's because it is in black an white and the men are wearing full body bathing suits that were commonly worn in that era. The men also have expressions of glee and competitive body language indicated that they were not forced off the diving board in any way.
In this picture, 6 men are performing diving tricks in a festival or circus between the 1930s and the 1950s. I can determine that this picture was taken between the 1930s and the 1950s, because of their attire. The men are wearing striped full-body swimsuits that were common for swimmers and divers in that time period. I can determine that they are performers based on the stage curtains with the painted frame present at the bottom of the picture. Along with the curtains, there is trimming in the building and a small terrace for performers to step in. I determined that the performers in the picture are divers because of the two diving boards where they most likely flung themselves present on the left of the picture. Based on the performers' gestures and facial expressions in the picture I can infer that they are performing a skit for a crowd. In the picture, the 6 men are divided into two groups of three which leads me to believe that one group is chasing the other in the skit they are performing.
Savannah says: These people are in a circus because the background has curtains and they are wearing stripes. They look like actors doing a performance. They are jumping off a high diving board into a pool. There might be something scary in the pool. They are risking their lives. Because it wouldn't be an act without the un-ordinary.
I see six man in the sky. All of them wear striped clothes, and it look like the clothes which prisoners wear in the jail. They look like they're trying to escape from a jail. Maybe they aren't prisoners, the clothes are actually colorful, and they are just doing parkour, running above the top of some buildings.
I can see six person jump down from a high place.Each of them was dress up as a prisoner.They are doing some funny action while jumping down .It look like they are stuntmen and they are performing there special talent which look very dangerous and surprising.
A group of prisoners are training to preform at the carnival to promote the idea of how prisoners are not just people who break the law, but also people who have potential. But because of the pandemic the carnival is cancelled and the prisoners hard work was in vain. One day they decided to perform without any audience and thinking of this performance dedicated to themselves. Jumping as high as they can, they felt fulfillment and joy.
There is men escaping form jail and fling every which way, it looks like a scene from a really old movie because their clothes are black and grey with stripes on them,it also looks like this photo could have been photoshopped because the sky is grey and they might work for a circus because of the building with an animal or it has fire on it.
I think these people are skydiving and waiting for there parachutes to open up.
I think these men are free beings, and are very good at that jumpy thing people do on top of buildings
This picture looks like a bunch of men jumping off of a diving board into a pool at the same time. They look like they're having fun, and they look free.
What I think is going on in this picture is that the men are jumping and flipping off of the diving board at a pool. I can make this statement because there appears to be a diving board in the background, kind of like the ones that you would find in the Olympics or a circus. They are also wearing striped swimsuits, that look quite old, and if I’m being completely honest, out of style!
They're jumping off a high dive in a circus act. They are in swimming suits and at the bottom it's some circus decoration. Perhaps they are clowns.
Diving pier?
I see absolute freedom, with limbs akimbo, as entertainment becomes bliss.
It looks like some sort of photobursts. A couple of them seem to be the same person at different points of their fall.
Looks like men jumping off a diving board in some kind of a performance. It may be a circus of some kind? I can't tell if it's a current or old photo.
This is reminiscent of the diving horses in Atlantic City. It appears that people are diving instead of horses. The swimwear is interesting and different that modern swimwear. It has a circus feel
Six men are jumping off a diving board. I see that they are in swimsuits that are from a long time ago. I think they may be performing for an audience because it looks like there is a stage.
In the picture, 6 men appear to be midair as they are jumping off the ledge of a building and they are trying to land on another building. Each of the men have a different position and facial expression, but they are wearing similar clothes to signify they are friends. The image is most likely a modern art piece as the quality is good but the image was most likely intentionally black and white.
I know what is going on in the picture due to the context clues provided in the picture. For example, the image has two parts of two buildings, one being slender and having a rail, while another has a structure similar to a dam since it is like a thick wall. The men are midair as the background is the sky with the men in various positions, which can not be recreated on land. They are wearing similar clothes in the image as their shirts are black and white and striped.
I can find the textures of the two buildings as the slender railed building has a smoother texture, and the larger building has more detail and appears to be of a grittier texture. The clouds are thick, white, and wispy, while the sky is grey, dark, and monotoned. There are two holes that are on the thick building with rust stains below, indicated the holes stream hard water with a significant amount of minerals.
In this picture people are jumping off a diving board. What makes me say this is the fact that I see people in the air who look like they have jumped off the diving board behind them. I can find that the people jumping off are wearing striped clothing.
@Pratik I agree that the image depicts people wearing striped clothing.
@Tanim maybe the stripped clothing is for a uniform or something other than that,there could be an explanation as to why they are wearing stripes.
What is going on in this picture? I see people jumping from what seems to be a diving board and they are fully clothed. I also see a large wall in the background.
What do you see that makes you say that? I can physically see people in the air and clearly jump to something.
What more can you find? I can also find holes on the wall which allow me to infer that it is a dam.
@Andrew I agree with you on where you said that people are physically jumping off a diving board.
In this picture, 2 groups of 3 people are jumping off a building. They might be some sort of famous acrobatics group. They are wearing the same outfit, and are all males. They are jumping off a diving board connected to a building. They might be hitting the ground or a safe landing.
- Im saying this because I see people jumping off a building in groups of 3. It is very visible to see. They only things we cant understand is why they are jumping off, where they exactly are, and if they are landing safely.
- I can see a white sky with backround buildings in it, meaning they have to be in a place that has buildings. They have to be somewhere in the world but the exact location is unknown.
What is going on in this picture?
I think in the picture it shows a group of people doing tricks on the diving board.
What do you see that makes you say that?
There's a board like item they jumped off of or were on.
What more can you find?
I can see that there is a structure in the the background and theirs seems to be some thing there will land on.
Two groups of three people are jumping off a board, all in different orientations in terms of degrees, with a dam in the background
There is a diving board, and the people are to the right of it, so it can be assumed they jumped off it, and there is a curved structure in the background like a dam.
Two of the people are wearing striped suits, similar to a prison uniform.
This picture look appealing because all the internet picture were all look the same, and not having a lot of face emotions.
Its appealing because its aesthetic, it is taken at an amazing angle, and it’s taken at the perfect timing of them jumping into the water.
@Jenna (this is the correct one) In this picture I see that they are jumping off something. Maybe they are jumping off of a diving board into a pool or onto the roof. There's an illusion because there is a group of two and there's three people in each group. I see people jumping in two groups of three and the clouds are aesthetic. It also looks like they are jumping off of something into or onto something. They are also all wearing striped shirts. I can find that they are in the air all at the same time into groups and at the same height. I can also find that the image is black and white and you can't see the pool so it looks aesthetically pleasing. Also they are all in different positions.

In this picture I see that there are people jumping in the pool. I think this because there is a diving board. Some more things that I found in this photo is that there is also a building in the background and the people are in mid air. Everyone who is in the photo is wearing striped outfits. In the picture there is 6 people. The people are also all in different poses in the picture. Lastly I can see that the picture is in black and white.
i think they're diving or jumping into the pool because there is a diving board which is meant for diving into the water.
It seems that there are many people diving off the diving board inside this freeze framed area. Some people are jumping off with each other. The background is plain, black, white, and grey. The setting seems like a hotel or a pool.
It seems that there are multiple men jumping off of a diving board or platform dressed in striped clothing. It looks to be some kind off performance due to the painted background setting and curtains. I also think that they may be dressed as prisoners because of the clothing.
1. in the picture it shows stunt devils jumping off a diving board into a pool.
2. what makes me think this is because of the weird graphics on the wall that look familiar to what id see at a circus, and the out fits they are wearing are what people would wear in the pool back then, and obviously the diving board in the frame as well
3. all i can see pretty much that i haven't said yet is that are doing flips too at the same time too
This picture shows people jumping off a diving board in unison.
@Yunhan The different positions of the people appear to contradict this claim.
@Khin Aung I agree but one possible situation can be the people were jumping at the same time but some were more experienced in jumping-related sports (e.g. hurdling).
In this picture, I can see that these people are jumping from a swimming pool. To me it looks funny because in the picture their jumping into one another person to another. To me I don't know why the people are jumping off a swimming pool and doing tricks to each other.
In this picture, I can see that these people are jumping to a building. It looks odd and mysterious and people who look at the picture may wonder what is going on.
The odd look and mystery to the picture makes it appealing. The picture really doesn't make much sense and is very vague which makes people think, which in return is very attractive about the picture. Another thing that is appealing is the lack of color because it gives off a nice aesthetic.
This is a amazing picture. It captures many essences of the image. It had many depths although it was just people jumping off diving boards.
@Raylyn I don't know kinda just seems like some people jumping off a diving board for entertainment. The exciting nature of this image could be described as its essence though.
In this picture I think there are people jumping in the pool, I think this because there is a diving board. There is also a building in the background and the people are in mid air.
I can interpret that this photo shows people that are jumping in to a pool and having fun. I believe this since the people are jumping together and flipping and they are wearing what looks like swimwear. I can also see in the background what appears to be curtains which can show a setting of a fun place.
I see a group of people jumping from a high platform. I think these people are escaping from jail, since they are dressed in stripes clothes. This made me wonder what they are they running from?
I think this photo seems appealing to others because it seems like 1 guy. In reality, it’s a whole bunch of guys diving into a pool altogether. It’s a bit like a form of art because they all are diving in different ways. With the sky behind in the background and the guys jumping in different motions, it really becomes appealing to the eye and makes you want to look at it more to figure out what is really happening.
This is a really nice photo, which everyone should say.
I liked the black and white design.
I liked the people jump off in a creative movements.
I disliked the wall at the back.
1) In this picture the kids are jumping into a pool and making it look like it’s fun.
2) I say this because I see the kids mid air but i don’t see a pool they could land in and in an angle it looks like they are jumping into or onto a wall.
3) I can also find out that they are all doing different moves.One is doing a back flip the other is trying to do a cannonball jump and two of them look like they are about to dive.
@Nassyr I agree with your response and would like to add on by saying that the people appear to be enjoying themselves with different moves. But, the people jumping don't appear to be kids.
This image displays a photo of 6 people jumping from a ledge. I would say this because they are floating and they have probably jumped from the little ledge that is also shown in the photo, which is discovered as a diving board. More things that I could find is that different people had different poses. For example, someone was doing a back flip and another was just in the air. To add on, I also see a wall in the background. But I would assume that they are jumping into a pool because the little edge that I see reminds me of a diving board.
In this image/picture, there are 3 kids jumping off a board. The reason why I think this is because the 3 kids are in the air and there’s a big board on the left side of the picture. I can also see that there’s another set of 3 kids on the right side of the picture, but it is part of the kids that was jumping off the board, since their clothes look the same.
There are 6 people falling off a platform in the sky in the picture. What makes me say that is that in the picture there are 2 groups consisting of 3 people in each group in the air. In the top left corner there is a platform where the people could have jumped off. And in left side there is a smaller platform lower than the platform above. What more I could find is that in the bottom right corner there is a wall with 2 pictures representing curtains and also each person is a certain pose in the air.

In this image/picture, there are 6 kids jumping off a board. The reason why I say this is because there are 6 kids are in the air all together and there’s a big board on the left side of the picture. I can also see that there’s a smaller board, because on the left side of the picture below the bigger board there’s a smaller board underneath it. According to the photograph, there are 6 kids in the air, 3 on the lower side of the picture and 3 more above the 3 kids that’s near the end of the picture. Another example from the photo is that there are 2 different sizes boards on the left side. In addition 1 board is higher than the other. To conclude, there are 6 kids probably jumped off the higher board and are in the air when the image was taken.
The photo portrays six people falling from a ledge, in which upon further research one can predict is some sort of diving board. One can think this because the related article from the photo dives into the history of swimming pools... And well, I don't think that the photo is showing people just jumping off a random building..
1. Six people are jumping off of a platform.
2. There are multiple people falling through the air. It appears as though they leapt off of the platform in the top left of the image.
3. There is some sort of wall/structure in the image. It looks like there are curtains on said structure.
I see people jumping from a board or something to somewhere(maybe in a pool) and they were flipping in different ways.
@Joyti I agree with you because there are 6 kids facing different ways and 1 of the kid's head is facing the floor/or other surface.
They seem to jump into the pool from a height, but will be injured
In the picture above, there are six males who are jumping off a diving board.
First of all, I see six people. All of them seem like they are males. In addition, I see the edge of a diving board.
This pictures colors are black and white. To add on, these pictures were taken when they were all in different positions
@Mahjabin Rahman If agree with you. Also, there is a fancy looking building next to them.
it is a very interesting image. it looks like they are having fun. they are jumping in into a pool. the photographer is very talented to take a good picture.
I think the picture indicates a group of people jumping in different directions. I also think these people are escaping jail because they are dressed in stripped clothes, that are casual to prison.
In this picture, there are a group of people diving off a building for stunt/performing purposes. I see a group of people in the air, meaning they just jumped off. I know they jumped off because there is a board just a few feet behind them that shows where they jumped off. I also see a building in front of them, which most likely indicates that is their landing point and their target in this stunt. At first I thought the people were prisoners escaping due to their black and white clothing that resembled a jumpsuit, but then I revised my thought after seeing the high platform they were jumping off of.

In this picture there are kids that seem to be jumping from a diving board and are doing certain types of acrobatics.
What I can see that make me say that is that the fact that they seem to be wearing swimming suits and jumping from a board. Something else that can be found in the picture are the clouds in the background the photographer seems to capture the different textures thus some parts are darker than others. Furthermore, the photo taken by the photographer Sam Falk is seen in white and black.
In this picture, there are six people falling down from the jumping board. I say that because I see six people on the air and there have a jumping board next to them, this makes my mind think this six people are jumping from the jumping board. Also, I can find every person’s pose are different.
Sooooo... the assignment is said and I quote
"The comment you write can just be what you write above (copy and paste). Then reply to others as the instructions state."
Sooooo ummmm. Yeah. Copying and pasting what I wrote:
What is going on in this picture?
People jumping into a pool. They look like they’re having fun. Two people are doing a flip. Seems like fun.
What do you see that makes you say that?
One: swimsuits; Two: No one willingly jumps to their own death, nor does anyone look happy while doing it; And three: no one flips from a diving board unto concrete.
What more can you find?
You can also see a bit of a building maybe like the entrance to a public pool or something.
Yoinks, that's long. Sorry to the person who decided to read this.
Thank you to the person who decided to read this.
<3
In the picture there are children flying.
Who are having a dream.
There are not many things to see.
The picture seems to be portraying 6 people that are free falling, based on the diving board and the background, its seems that the people are freestyle diving into a pool
@Naim I agree that they are jumping from a diving board. Interesting thought that they are freestyle diving. I hadn't thought of that.
In this picture I see six people diving in the pool
this is a cool picture. it looks like those people are having fun. the photographer is very talented. they are jumping off the diving board doing flips.
I don't know why but I though that they were escaping from jail because they had striped clothes jumping from a balcony looking thing and I thought it was the end of the picture.
@Lala I agree with you that people are escaping from jail, because there clothing.
@Lala
The thought seemed well backed up. and I thought the same thing first, but I don't think they would jump off such a high platform to escape prison. It doesn't seem like a way a prison would be built.
I thought those people were trying to escape prison due to their striped jump suites and the dam looking like a prison tower and i also thought it might be a staged act but i found out it was a parkour group. but in this picture they are a free falling parkour group
The children in the picture are jumping off of an object to which I presume that they are jumping into a pool of water
I see the jumping board and the children are in the air which indicates that they are jumping into something.
I see that there is a building in the background and the sun is shining through the clouds in the back.
In this Picture, a group of people are diving into a pool. I say that because the way that people are flippimg they cant land and its very high from where they are jumping from.
In this picture, people are falling off from a jumping board and they are falling toward something underneath them. Also, the image is in a black&white color and people are falling in different poses.
@Tina
I can tell you're very observant due to mentioning the fact that each person is diving in different poses.
I can also find that people are falling in different poses and the color of the image is black and white.
@Xiaoying FengWu I agree I even wrote that in my response.
In this picture, a group of people are flying or falling, I say that because there are 6 people in the sky seems like they did that on purpose. I also find that they are split into two small groups that has 3 people each, the picture is probably for entertainment.
@Tony I agree I believe they jumped in different positions when the pictures was token.
In this picture I think the people are jumping off a diving board and into a pool, what I see that makes me say that is the fact that the people are jumping off without clothes but just a swim pant. Something more that I find is that they are doing trick as they are in the middle of landing.
In this picture. It is showing a group of professional divers that are like the Harlem Globetrotters of diving.
i think there diving from a pool board
Our class thinks there is a circus going on based on the body language of the people. The background makes us think there is a theater that would host the circus. The people look like they are fighting, or putting on a show of some sort. The setting is in a pool with a high diving board. The outfits make us think it is someone escaping from jail or Alcatraz. It might be some kind of competition.
It looks like they are diving from a diving board into a pool I can tell some will get hurt.Its a black and white picture so it must be old.
in this picture it looks like they are swimmers jumping off a large diving board all at once. I say this because they are in matching tops and bottoms like a bathing suit. I also thought that they were prisoners jumping to escape i say this because they are wearing stripes
I see grown is Performing a Comedy and is Dive.
I see grown men diving into a pool. Its black and white. For fun.
On this very day, the cold very distance, enchanted city in the high valleys of the bright ashes skies, lights coming behind the gray shady clouds showing no feelings at all, no other than the loud screams of six kids. Coming from the Central Park itself. They have nothing but terror in their voices, in their movements, and even locked deep in their minds. But what came from the screams was an opening one eye witness said, coming from the sky. A dark blue and white open that showed nothing more than the true definition of emptiness in a dark room. No light was there but only screams coming from the young kids themselves. The clouds were like caked- up batter but fearful like fear itself, another witness added. At first it was screams then there were nothing but the hole, left there for us all to see.We then continued to ask more ,where did the kids go from there but no one saw, all except one shop owner. The owner of “New-York-Finest-Shake” said ,“That she was sweeping one afternoon and hear a strange sound but she thought it was a the cities festival going on around the corner, they have always had to see if some of the fireworks were still ready for tonight’s big first opening of their cites Christmas Prada. So she didn’t mind it. Then she continued to sweep but they she hear a bang right above her head that knockout her lights. She didn’t know what to do but to see....(to be continued....)
Looks like people doing tricks off a a diving board high up.
It seems that based on the evidence given to me that there is most likely some kind of circus happening. The reason that I say this is because all of the people are wearing striped uniforms and are doing acrobatics while jumping off of a tall structure. I also see a stage and a fancy curtain in the background on the stage which also could tell me that there is a circus. It seems that the picture is being taken a long time ago in the past because the picture is in black and white. Based on this evidence above, we can conclude that the picture was taken in the past and is showcasing a circus act with acrobatics.
In this picture, there are 6 men jumping off of a diving board. I know this because they are all falling from the air and there is a diving board behind them. Additionally, the men are doing some sort of group entertainment show. I know this because there seems to be a theater behind them. Additionally, they are all doing crazy stunts. Lastly, I know that the picture takes place in the past. I know this because the picture is in black and white. They are also all in old fashioned diving suits. Based on the evidence, a group of entertainment divers are doing crazy diving tricks for an audience in front of a theater.

This photo seems like it was taken a while ago or it was presented in a newspaper. I think this because the picture is in black and white--pictures in newspapers don’t have color. Although, any photo could be changed to black and white. This picture appears to be taken at some sort of carnival or play. I know this because the building in the picture has fake windows and stage curtains on them. I can also tell that this is at some carnival or play because the people in the photo are dressed in silly, striped clothing. If these people have a part in a carnival or play, they could be acrobats or professional performers. I can infer this because they are flying from what looks to be a diving board. Maybe it’s a belly flop contest or some sort of performance art. I’m not sure why they are jumping at the same time. It has to be part of a planned performance. In conclusion, I think we are seeing a snapshot of a carnival act where the performers are jumping from a platform to a pool.
The people in the photo are jumping for a crowd. I know this because the building in the background resembles a theater. In addition, the entrance of the building has a curtain on it which is usually the entrance to a typical theater. The people are jumping off aboard. I know this because in the upper left corner there is a flat surface with a railing that resembles aboard. The people are jumping because they are all in the air in poses that look like they jumped. The weather is warm. I know that the weather is warm because the people are wearing tank tops and shorts. Based on the evidence, the photo was taken in warm weather and the people are jumping off aboard in a theater.
This picture includes six men jumping from a diving board. I know this because they are all falling through the air and there is a diving board ledge above them. Additionally, these men are diving for entertainment purposes. I know this because there is some type of theater right behind them, which indicates that this is a performance. Lastly, the men in this photo are doing acrobatic-like tricks in the air with each other. I know this because they are jumping as groups of three. A few of them are even hooked onto each other by their legs, while the one next to them is flipping individually. In conclusion, this photo features a group of six divers who are doing acrobatic tricks in the air in order to entertain.
The people are doing some type of high dive. I know this because they jumped from a high height and as the people get farther down they have their arms facing down along with their heads. The people were performing their high dive are in some type of group. I know this because they are all wearing the same thing. This photo was taken in the past. I know this because it is in black and white and the buildings architecture is not common today.
In conclusion the people are a group performing a high dive. The picture was taken in the past.
The people in the picture are performers. I know this becasue they all seem to be wearing outfits of performers and in the background you can see a painted structure that looks like it bleongs a circus or carnival. In addtion, they look like they are doing crazy acrabatics, which is common when watching people at the circus perform. The people are jumping from a diving board. I know this because the people are wearing swimsuits, and the ledge that they seemed to jump off of has a railing similar to a diving board. The people are men. Iknow this because when you zoom in on their faces, some of them have facial hair and short hair on their heads, they are also wearing boy swim suits. Based on the evidence, this is set a circus where male performers are doing a diving board acrabatic stunt to land in the pool.
This photo was taken a long time ago. I know this because the men seem to be wearing old-style swimsuits. I also believe they’re diving into a pool. I think this because the men seem to be wearing swimsuits and jumping off of a ledge that seems to lead into a pool. I also believe this is apart of a circus act or some sort of entertainment show. I know this because there’s a curtain on the wall in the back so that could symbolize a circus act. In conclusion, I believe that this was a circus act that took place before modern-times and the men were jumping off of a diving board for entertainment purposes.
The picture is taking in the past. I know this beacuse the swimsuits the men are waring were commonly use in the past and never used in the present. The men in the picture are jumping off a diving board. I know this beacuse they are wearing swimsuits. The men are in some type of performance act. I know this beacuse at the bottom of the picture it looks to be some bars that people use for gymnastics. In conclusion, the picture is in the past where people are practicing for a performance act that they have to jump off a diving board so they are in swimsuits.
In this picture, the man is prepared his ice cream stand for the day. I know this because he has a wooden cart that looks like it could hold ice cream. This picture takes place in the past. I know this because the picture is in black and white and in the present time, people most likely wouldn’t buy ice cream from his cart because it looks unsanitary. The woman in this picture is one of the man’s friends. I know this because it looks like the man is preparing outside of her home and they are having a friendly conversation with each other. In conclusion, this man is preparing his ice cream cart for the day.
It looks like people are jumping off a diving board and into a pool. I see they have a uniform on so they must be some sort of a team. On the wall, I see what looks like a curtain painted on it, so it makes me think that these people are apart of a circus act. It looks like people are jumping off a diving board and into a pool.

I think they are either trying to kill themselves or trying to jump from one building to another.
The reason I think they could be trying to kill themselves is because they are jumping off the building. I think there trying to jump from one building to another is because going off the photo you can see them jumping to the right where another building is.
Two of the people have a striped shirt and everyone else has a seemingly dark shirt.
One guys doing a back-flip and why is he doing that that's something I wish I had a answer for
I'm guessing that those people are stunt doubles in a movie.
I think it is a bunch of people jumping off something into a pool of water below most likely because you can see the the diving board in the corner.
Some people are jumping off of a diving board at what looks like a show?? The curtains on the wall look like something from a circus
in this picture, men are diving into a pool. some seem to be doing tricks, while others seem to be falling feet first. I believe that it is trying to symbolize how freedom allows oneself to 'jump' into the decisions they make, whether his/her decisions involve risk taking.
It looks as if these men are circus performers taking a big jump for their show. From what the viewer can see, these men can fall into anything. Taking chances in life is more about the excitement, rather than the result.
The people seem to be jumping in hope of freedom. They look like they are in a hurry and with the nature of the depressed background, it seems as they have found some type of freedom (this mood is established with their free and radical poses as they jump off the board).
It looks like they are in some type of show, so maybe they are trying to represent their jump as a freeing action. They look like they are almost having fun.
These men are wearing swimsuits and are jumping off what appears to be a diving board for possibly a show or circus of some sort. However, the photographer does not include what they are jumping into.
It looks like the people jumping off are excited due to their faces and body language. It kind of represents teamwork since they are jumping off without hesitation and doing it together.
The men are all jumping and looking carefree. The one man looks like he is doing a back flip. They are wearing matching outfits which look like a prison uniform. Maybe they're jumping for freedom.
some men are jumping off of a high platform into a pool as part of a show. most likely a circus of some kind
Men might be preforming stunts for entertainment.
People jumping off a diving board with matching outfits gives me circus vibes
It seems like people are having fun doing flips and tricks into a pool or something. This could be a movie stunt or just for fun.
There are some people jumping off of a diving board
It looks like people are jumping in somewhat unison possible meaning that they they are just following the leader without knowing what is coming, at the end of it as we cannot see what they are jumping into.
Circus Performers leap from high in the air to impress and wow spectators
A picture of a bunch of men jumping off a diving board. It's very dark and gives off a sense of fear and hard obstacles.
It looks like some men are jumping off of a platform into what is most likely a swimming pool. They do not appeared to be scared, but rather skilled and comfortable performing tricks into the pool.
Looks like it is a part of a circus act because of the window in the background
Looks like a show of some sort involving falling from heights, most likey into a body of water.
It looks like men are jumping off a high dive and they are possibly prisoners.
The image appears to have a bunch of people in matching outfits, jumping off of something. Maybe it is fro their enjoyment or others entertainment.
some men in matching swimsuits are jumping off a high dive. seems to be a show of some sort due to matching outfits and the curtain in the background
Living without obstacles and without fear. I see free fall and freedom.
The people in the picture are jumping off the diving board into what seems to be nothing. They are falling in a somewhat chaotic manner which I take away as meaning life is full of trials and you may fall but you will be ok just as the divers will be when they land in the water.
This looks like a bunch of people diving into possibly a pool? Not sure why they would be though, symbolizing if a friend does it will you follow them in their decisions?
This picture looks like a group of people jumping off of a high dive. The wall in the background indicates that the people jumping may be part of a circus-like performance or live show.
I believe this is a group of performers practicing their routines from a high dive board into water.
Some guys are performing stunts off of a high board for a movie or some other production.
It appears at first glance to be prisoners jumping, nut now it looks like a group of performers maybe a t a circus performing some stunt
To me this looks like an act for a circus and they all are jumping into something
I belive what is happening is a set of divers ar comically falling/jumping from a platform. I believe if you look at it more deeply it repersents how fun an extrodinary you can becomes if you just take the chance.
In this picture, it looks as if a group of people are performing a stunt for a show. It looks like they all jumped off of that big platform which may be a diving board. I get the impression that it is a circus show because of the black and white picture, striped suits, and on the wall in the background, there is a painting or picture that appears to copy the looks of curtains.
In this picture it looks like a group doing a stunt in a circuit show for the audience below. Jumping from a high plank to a building while flipping. In the 80s or 90s due to the black and white of the photo and stripe suit.
In the picture it shows two guys doing stunts and flying off the diving board.
there are kids in the air jumping into a pool they look wet already and they are jumping off a diving board together
People are jumping into a pool. They are wearing old fashioned swim costumes and jumping off a diving board. It might be some kind of carnival or a festival because there is a stage of some sort.
In this picture, it seems like there are 6 people jumping into emptyness. In my opinion, these may be people trying to escape from society. In nowadays our world has gone to a level beyond the stages of normality. They may gave up in life and want to give her a last chance of living. There are so many people out there who are in a dead end and have no idea what to do to make things right and asking themselves what went wrong. So, this picture shows an amount of people who want to jump into a better world and escape from this unhappy and miserable place.
This picture is so special and symbolic .. i think that when someone feels stress wants to go anywhere and to be safe ..So, in this picture 6 prisoners are trying to escape from jail and the imaje doesn't show us the land they are jumping on , because symbolizes the ''nothing'' .. they dont know where they going .. the only think that they want is to escape and to feel good with theirself and the place where they're living .. The results from the stress and sadness and loneliness are the escape with any way and every single day ..
In this picture, it seems like there are 6 people jumping off a diving board into something which most likely is a pool. There is big building in the background which looks like they are higher above. Since they are higher above it leads me to believe they they are in the Olympics. I think this because only people competition in the olympics jump from high up.
it looks like prisoners are jumping from a building into an off screen pool, thats my guess.
I see 6 people jumping off a diving board into a pool (hopefully) with a building or wall in the background and with the way that the camera is angled it makes it look like there jumping over it I also think there’s a hidden message of some sort in it but i’m not sure what right now.
To me it just really looks like people are jumping from a diving board into an off screen pool, nothing really special I guess.
@Cultural I agree completely with you it looks like a diving board now
The picture depicts a metaphorical message which is people taking a chance in life, jumping over the walls of society.
@Mr. E's Class D-Pod NET Academy My opinion is that they are doing some kind of circus act. I totally agree.
i thank it is a play
Some of these questions are true works of majestic art.
Our class infers that the people pictured are wearing old-fashioned swimsuits performing tricks from a diving platform. The picture has been taken in a time-lapse format showing the same person doing 3 sections of their trick. The background shows a style of art that comes from a circus, cruise boat, or other place of entertainment.
It appears a circus or show is happening in the picture. My first piece of evidence is that the people in the picture are falling and doing tricks in the air. This shows it is plausible that some kind of entertainment is happening. Next, they are wearing black and white striped outfits. This means either its a circus or they have escaped from a prison in daylight out in the open, which doesn't seem very plausible. Lastly, there is an ornate wall and a platform hovering in the air that the people seemingly have just jumped off of. This shows that this act is for entertainment purposes and is some kind of show. I conclude that a circus show or something like that is happening in this picture.
In the picture I think people are practicing a stunt for the circus. I think it is a circus because people are jumping off of platform or building. This shows that they are doing a stunt for the audience or people who are watching. They also have matching stripped outfits on. This shows that they are in costume for their stunt performance that is going to happen. There is also a building with a window and curtains in front of it. This could be a balcony where people sit to watch the performance.
In this picture, I believe thy're preparing for a show. My first reason is that they're all wearing the same type of clothes. This means that they're wearing a uniform for the show. My second reason is that there's a platform on the side, which could mean they jumped off of it. This shows they're practicing for a stunt they might do during the show. My last reason is that there is a stage in the background. This proves they're practicing landing on the stage.
I think a bunch of boys are jumping in a pool together. I got this conclusion from seeing six boys. So I thought that they were all friends. I also saw that there were diving platforms. So I thought they were just jumping off the platforms into the pool. I also saw a really big stone wall in the background. Which I think means that that wall is holding all the water in.
So i think that in this picture 6 inmates were given the chance to e free if they did a circus performance. Evidence #1 They are obviously prisoners because of there outfit its a classic 1960's, prisoner outfit, and i dont think that people in a circus would pretend to be prisoner because people would get scared. Evidence #2 The thing that they are jumping into looks like a cirrus ring so ima say that this is a cirrus, plus the fancy entry, what else would have that. Evidence #3 The 6 people falling these are the prisoners because they look like them also there falling like that because they dont know how to do it like a performer.
In this picture, I believe that this is a team based competition at a carnival where you get points by doing tricks in the air. One reason is there are six even split people into 2 teams. This means that this a team based competition. Another reason is people are flipping and doing tricks in the air. This means that flipping and doing tricks gets you points and therefore makes this a competition. The final reason is the building in the back with carnival themed curtains. This means that this is and event that takes place at a carnival.
I think that this is a haunted house. One reason would be that the windows on the building are very fake. Which could mean they had set up the haunted house. It's also showing 6 people in black and white stripped shirts and pants. Which means they're actors trying to act like prisoners because obviously the jail isn't going to let real prisoners out to jump of a ledge. Another thing is the ledge, which could have been used as a prop for the actors or to help set up the actual haunted house.
In this picture I think that this group of people are performing or doing stunts, like street performers. In the picture they are all wearing the same clothes, like a uniform or costume for the performance. In the picture it also shows that they are high in the air and doing flips and it looks like they jumped off of the platform to the left of them. It also shows that they are all barefoot. The first two things I saw made sense to me because it goes with what I said and makes sense to this scenario. But, what throws me off id that they are all barefoot. So, either I'm off or they are just doing it for the performance and are used to the feeling.

@Brianna G. i agree it clearly looks as if they are doing some sort of stunts
I think that people are trying to escape from jail. The striped shirts point to this. They point to this because they look like prison uniforms. I also think that the building behind them and the platform there jumping off of supports this claim. The building behind them could be a jail building and the platform there jumping off of looks like a roof of some sort. Lastly but probably the most convincing that there jumping. This shows off their plan to escape.
@Kalynn This is a really smart conclusion I was kind of thinking the same thing.
it looks like they are jumping off a diving board.
some are doing flips an diving head first and they are whereing swimming suits.
or that they are in the circus doing tricks of a tall diving board.
1
@Sheldon Hedrick I thought that at first, but then I saw that they were wearing clothes and all of the same clothes, so it didn't get why they would be jumping into a pool with clothes on.
We think that this is some kind of performance, which may be part of a circus. The people in striped clothes and not wearing shoes may be clowns who are stunt performers. We think this is a show because the number of people who are jumping off the platform at once (which normally wouldn't be safe) and because of some of the positions they have in the air (like gymnastics, as if they are tumbling or doing the splits in the air). We also notice what looks like a stage with curtains or a painting that looks like curtains at the bottom of the picture. These performers may be part of a bigger show.

It looks like they could be prisoners according to there striped jumpsuits. It could be part of a movie or a play. It looks like whatever they jumped off of was pretty high in the air. It looks like they jumped off a diving board or a balcony. They seem to be in weird positions in air.
In this picture, it looks like inmates are jumping off of a high dive into a swimming pool. They look like they have just escaped jail. Apparently they did not have time to take off their JUMPsuits! There is a different shaped building behind them so, they must be in a little town.
@Landon Powell Interesting thought... the "town" part of your comment confused us a little. Maybe we're missing something.
In this picture, it apears that there might be a play or show as there is people wearing black and white striped suits as they could be reanacting a prison escape for a show falling through the air.
Men are jumping off what looks likt a diving board. Men are jumping off what looks likt a diving board. Men are jumping off what looks like a diving board. Men are jumping off what looks like a diving board. The men are all wearing a striped jumpsuit. And the building behind them looks like it has curtains and is an irregular shape. I believe the men are in a circus and are performing a trick. They will most likely land in water.
It's parkour or they are trying to commit suicide.
In this picture, you can see a group of people in mid air doing some sort of tricks. One of the first things that I happen to realize is the background and what the group of people are wearing. It seems that they could be wearing an assortment of things, like a swimsuit, a prison uniform, or even a costume for a play. In the background you see a building that looks to have a curtain painted on it. I can also improvise that they could possibly be diving into a body of water or even onto a soft surface. You can see some platforms at the edge of the photograph. These platforms seem to be diving boards that are at different heights.

When I look at this image, the first thing I notice is the fact that the people happen to be jumping of a platform, like a diving board or ledge, leading me to assume that they are jumping into a body of water such as a pool. Also, I think that they may be in a circus or performing group as they are wearing matching striped clothes maybe meaning they came from jail or another organization, but is probably just a costume . Also, in the back round, their happens to be a building that looks as if it comes from the circus with the curtains and such. They may be performing a play, or this could be a symbol for something else more.

@Kiley I think you have good evidence to support your claim and it sounds very reasonable.
When I look at this image, the first thing I see is the people in the air. I also notice that there is a design in the background, which looks like it is part of a circus. the design on the back wall looks like it was spray painted on the wall of a skate park. I also noticed that the people are wearing what looks like prison uniforms, therefore, I believe they are escaping from jail and running through a circus themed skate park.

@S Uribe your evidence supports your claim very well.
I think it is a circus act performed in the early 1900's
i think these people are jumping off a diving board at a show somewhere in a amusement park
In this picture, I believe that there are prisoners shooting a act or play. This proves that there are wearing striped clothes. This shows that prisoners usually wear black or white or orange. This proves that there prisoners shootig an act or play.
I think it is the circus act because of the pictures
I believe this is a circus act or show. The men are jumping into some sort of trampoline which is out of view. They are doing tumbles and stunts.
This looks to be from the early 1900s, the heyday of circus culture.
I think it may be a symbolism for how most people, when getting out of college, end up running out into the world thinking they will get a job out of the gate, but they only end up running of a cliff into a spiral of terrible jobs and barley making ends meet.
I think it symbolizes the leap from childhood to adulthood. They are jumping off of a diving board, diving boards are mainly used by kids. The building is the inevitable destination, adults work in buildings.
I think that they are jumping to escape from something. It is either that or they are filming a movie.
In this picture I think that the people are jumping off some sort of diving board in an earlier year into some body of water, but the picture just doesn't show the water. I think this because the outfit and the black and white picture indicate that it was earlier in the year. I think they're jumping into a body of water because the thing they're jumping from looks like a board and those are what swimsuits looked like back then. Though the water is not visible all the clues in the photo indicate this.
I think that a circus act is going on in this picture. I believe this, because of the paintings that are displayed on the walls. I think that it is an act about six prisoners who are escaping from prison. I noticed that they were all in stripped suits, this is where I got my idea that they were from prison. They all seem to have ran off of the bridge or diving board in a hurry.
@A. Benefield
I agree that the people in the picture are putting on some type of act because the background doesn’t seem real and I agree also that it might be an act about a prison break
I think these people are jumping down from a platform in the swimming pool. They look like wearing swimsuits and the platform looks very alike to the ones in the pool so I think they are trying to dive together into the pool.
I see 6 people that seem to be diving off a diving board, beyond them I see a painted wall which makes me think this might be a circus act.
I feel like this is part of shooting a movie as the location looks built and the outfits look a bit like costumes. They seem to be jumping off something very high so I feel like this is a planned scene (probably in a movie) and these tricks and stunts should be performed by trained professionals. This doesn’t seem like something random people would do for fun. My guess is that maybe it’s a circus or a movie shoot. 😺🤡🎥🎞🤹♂️🤸♀️
I think these people are jumping from a plank. I think they are practicing or performing their talents in front of people. The building below looks like a circus tent. I wonder if there’s water below.
I think they are jumping into the pool though I can’t see what are they landing on, it must be some kind of performance
I think they are going to jump into the water.
in this picture we can see a man wearing a swimsuit. on the top left corner, we can see a pool trampoline. on the lower right corner we can see a sort of scenario.
The picture shows a series of progressive fotos of the man jumping. I think the man is doing a circus show when he jumps, flips in the air and falls into a pool or a mat
in the picture these people are jumping into a circus pool after they've finished an act?
I think that it’s a group of performers at the circus performing an act.
Well, what I can see in this picture is that they make us look like men jumping from a large platform, but if you look deeper you can see that there are some men who have an old-fashioned swimsuit or it can be one of the suits of prison that they used to wear before and that others bring other clothes in a different way and it is clear that this photo is a montage because the position of the men does not seem to coincide also that if they jumped to where they would fall they would have to have a pool, but instead There is a puppet theater that I think makes me think that it is a photo with Photoshop and editing, also the color could be edited and put a filter.

I think in this picture, some people are diving from a platform, and they are about to land in a pool that is in front of the building.
I can see six people jumping off a platform. They are wearing a similar uniform with stripes on them. I can also see that they is a curtain that puppets perform.
This picture should be something to do with a circus since the people are wearing costumes, there is a puppet theatre and the people should have performed very strictly before doing this risky move. They may be performing in a circus for a show.
I think in this picture people are trying to jump from the top of the building, and they want to go to the other building.
I think that the 6 men are jumping into a pool because there is a diving board, I also think that they are doing a stunt like in a circus because they are in costumes and they are going at the same time.
I think the men are prisoners, because the striped shirt looks like what the prisoners wear. I think that they are trying to break the prison and escape. Maybe the prison there is free for people to escape, but it seems like the floor is not flat and safe, so the people who escapes there may die .
In this picture I think the people jumping off are doing some kind of stunt to entertain the audience.
I think that these people might be training for a circus performance because you can see that they’re wearing striped clothing. There is also a small building and the design on the front makes me think of a circus.
In this picture people are jumping off a platform high above the ground, I think they might be doing a performance since we don’t know what they’re going to land on, they might also be diving but it seems quite dangerous to be doing that.
If you look closely, the people are wearing striped shirts, it might also be a prison break? But it’s unlikely.
In this picture, some people are jumping from an elevated platform. We can't see where are they going to fall but we can Imagine that they are going to fall into a pool because of the clothes that they are wearing. In fact, they are wearing a bathing suit with horizontal stripes. The six people are in the air just al the moment when the photo was taken.
Beyond them, there is a structure that makes me think of a circus.
We could think that these people are circus artist that are taking their Holliday jumping into the otter's pool.
We think that the men are jumping off of a diving board. There is a diving board on the platform. The bottom person looks like he is about to dive in. The building looks like it might be a hotel. One person was flipping in the air. The lower board is for lower dives.
We also think they are breaking out of prison. We think the striped suits look like prison suits. The curve looks like it may be a wall.
They may be doing parkour. They look like they have special poses. The groups are wearing similar clothes. They may be jumping from platform to platform. They are doing flips in the air and the building is curved like a skate ramp. Parkour is all about flipping and jumping.
We think they might be trying to kill themselves. They are jumping off from something high and they have their clothes on.
It looks like they are doing a outside performance while getting off a diving board. I feel like it’s a circus because of the design of the building. The picture looks old, in fact it's in black and white.
@C. Castellucci I agree. i thinks its a circus. they coould be preforming or practicing.i could be old because its in black and white but also their outfits look old.
In this picture I see six people, two diving boards and a painted wall .The picture shows that they are falling and they are wearing a color of clothes with stripes. Based off our observation I think that a circus because there is a diving board a trampoline an wall that painted.
It looks like a circus act from the 70s based on their outfits and the painted back drop on the wall behind them. I think they are jumping into some pool of water because the leading people look as if they are wearing older swim suits ,but the last two look as if they are flipping off the top of the path so it could be a acrobatic performance.
@C. Decker I agree with you that it took place during the 70s because of not just the clothing, but the color and quality of the image.
In this picture I can see 6 people jumping from a kind of bridge or diving board. They probably are from a circus, I think that because they are wearing striped clothes. Also, the building in the background looks like a type of circus decoration. They are probably doing a performance.
-S: I can infer that it's an act that they are jumping for because they are flipping and wearing circus like clothes.
-C: I think it was taken in the 50's because it's black and white and looks like it was captured roughly - it doesn't look perfect.
-C: It looks like they might be escaping from jail because their outfits are striped like jail outfits. -D: It looks like they are jumping off from a watch tower
They're jumping off a bridge all at once. They jumped all at once when it's safer jumping one at a time. They're men and are dressed in stripes which could be escaping from a prison or they are all in an attempt to commit suicide.
6 people are jumping down from a ledge or bridge. They are dressed in stripes as if in or from prison, but the writing/logo on the wall looks like something circus related. The walls do not look complete, so I don't think it is a prison, but like a big pool or stadium of some sort. It also could be a performance, as the weather looks decent enough.
I see two groups of three men who are jumping from a diving board. I think it's a show because the building seems to be a decor.
I imagine they are jumping in a swimming pool. They are acrobats.
I think the picture shows several people jumping from a diving board onto a pool. I believe this because you can see the diving board, the pool is just not in frame. I can also see they are wearing swimming outfits, probably in the older times too.
It looks like these men are either jumping off a high dive or in the circus. I say they are swimming because of the outfits they were in and that they are jumping off some sort of ledge. But I also think this is the circus because of the building in front of where they are jumping too and their outfits could also relate to the circus.The design on the building could also mean they are in the circus because it looks like that theme.
There six people jumping off a diving board. What make me think that is because of clothes there wearing and it look like there having fun.
It seems like their doing a outside performance while getting off a diving board. I feel like it’s a circus by the designs that’s on the building.
What I see going on in this picture is six men jumping from somewhere. What I see that makes me say that is that they were captured in mid air. They are wearing like a type of swim wear so maybe they are jumping into a pool.
@Elizabeth i agree because of their attire and it looks like their flipping.
They are jumping off a diving board. Perhaps they are apart of a circus.
In this picture it looks like 6 men jumping off a diving board into a pool doing different stunts on their way down to the pool for entertainment purposes
6 men jump-in swimming because of where they jumped at also nice cloudy weather and I think it’s long time like the kind of swimming suite they wearing is full body.
It looks like the kids are jumping off a diving board and it doesn’t look like they’re trying to commit suicide as they do flips in the air so they might land on something soft.
It looks like a team diving into a pool, because you can see a diving board in the back, and they are wearing the same outfits. So they could be performing or entertaining some people by doing all kinds of different dives
In this picture there are people jumping into water. I think this because you can see the high dive board and then you see the people after they jumped. It looks like they might be a part of a show since there is a background.
I think that this picture is capturing a scene at a circus. I'm assuming this because the wall has painted on curtains, and the people jumping are dressed in circus like outfits. It looks as if behind the jumping people is some sort or diving board or thing to jump off of. There could be a pool or foam pit or trampoline type of thing under them.
@Armando I think it is at the circus or some sort of show too. They are jumping from something that looks like a diving board, or a bridge.
It’s appears as they are jumping of like a diving board, and they appear they are in a type of circus.
1. In the photo its a group of men jumping off the diving board trying to attempt a stunt of some sorts
2. There’s a diving board and all of the men are in different forms and they are jumping
3. There is a barriers of some sorts and they are outside
It looks like a group of men are jumping off a board, the fact that they are in the air Makes me think the jumper off. I can see that they’re in prison clothes so they might be escaping.
I see 6 men jumping off a diving board in old swimming outfits, probably the 60s or 50s. Maybe they're practicing to be Casa Bonita divers.
Seems to be six men who have possibly escaped out of jail? Their clothing seems to be the reason why I stated that. The striped body suit. Also, they look scared, or in shock. Since they’re jumping out .
In this photograph, it looks like the 6 men are jumping off a high dive into a swimming pool. What makes me think that is the part of the end of the high dive and and it looks like they are having fun. The clouds in the background are meaning it is outside and it is nice out.
In this picture it looks like they are diving off a high dive and and there are a lot of them.It looks like they are having fun in the summer at their pool.
It appears that they are in prison clothes probably they escaped. Or a movie scene.
yeah, it looks like they are jumping off a diving board for a circus show
6 men jumping down to the house or just wan't to do something.
I see 6 men jumping down to the house,i don't know what that means i only can imagine the house is something they wan't.So they jump down to the house to get they wan't.This is why i write that.
Mrs. Carter's class has been busy making a lot of inferences about what is going on in this picture. This is our first time participating in this forum and we would love some feedback! Here are a few ideas we have about this picture:
* I infer that the men are jumping into a pool because there is a diving board
*I think that they are doing a stunt like in a circus because they are in costumes.
*I think the there are only two people in the picture and they are in a time lapse because they are in a spinning motion. They are in some sort of play or act. I noticed the background kind of looks like a stage and they may be acrobats.
*I think there is a pool off scene.
We can't wait to find out what really is happening in this picture.
it looks like they broke out of jail
i think that this picture has a green screen so people think that its real but with the filters it looks real. it also looks like a movie scene from jail.
I think this is people performing something. It looks like the men are wearing like jail clothes.
this is an illusion
I think that in this picture a group of men are falling/diving off a platform into a pool for a celebration of the 50's. The men look like they're in their late 20's early 30's.

Our class had a few different ideas about what is going on:
-The kids are jumping off the diving board into a pool.
-The kids might be skydiving.
-They are escaping from prison, trying to land on the wall.
-They are parkouring off of each other.

We have a few different ideas about what is going on in the picture:
-Cover for a book or a parkour video game.
-Movie stunt-doing a scene from a movie.
-Six teenagers jumping off a roof.
-We see a performance stage and the people are auditioning for a stunt.
-An old circus that is performing.
-A nice day at the pool.
I think they are men and it looks like they are prison inmates escaping because of their uniform or clothes. I also think it's people in their bathing suits jumping off the little cliff thing that's on the pool. I think that this might be for a movie in the 30's or 40's because of the black and white color or I could be wrong.
The men are jumping off some type of platform. I'm assuming that there might be a trampoline on the bottom. It seem like this might be a carnival or a circus because in the back there's a building with an carnival/festival design. It also seems like they are doing stunts in the air so if its not in a carnival maybe this is party of a movie and there shooting a scene.
It is mutliple people, looks likes inmate jumping to escape jail or prison or just trying to commit suicide because to them it seems better than being incarcerated for whatever crimes that they had comitted.
There seem to be men enjoy themselves by jumping of a what looks like a diving board close to some kind of platform. But honestly we cannot judge a book by its cover or picture in this case. eh it means much but back to topic this looks as if they are having fun jumping into something. the average joe would say water since they are in probably moder time bathing suits. But i'm not the average joe so I would say they are jumping to their deaths because they look like prisoners.
Looks like Alcatraz because their building is very high and it looks they are jumping into the water. Men are jumping off, running off. They could be related. Looks like they are trying to escape something. Or it could be a movie set.
i see a board in the middle of the air an a railing handle on it, which makes me think it is a diving board. A bunch of people are have their limbs flailing around in random positions as one is upside down. This makes me think that the people have jumped off of a diving board and are about to jump into a pool. The house in the background looks very antic based off of the carved decorated frame of the curtain. This makes me think that they are actually at a rich person's house. The sky has clouds and is very bright, which means that it is day time. And this means that it must be a photoshoot of some sort of fashion or magazine.
In the picture, 6 men are wearing striped swimsuits jumping off a ledge of some sort. I think this picture was taken about the 1900s because the type of swimsuits the men are wearing are the same kind/design they had back then. And in the background, we can see a building with something painted onto it; like a theatre curtain of some sort. Also, the picture is in black and white, more reason for this to be set in the 1900s.
I see some men jumping of a high platform and as far as I can see, I can tell they are all wearing the same thing. In fact, I think there is only about one or two people actually. I believe this is a high quality picture where it captures the fast motions of something or someone in the same picture. I say that because they are all wearing the same exact thing and they even look the same.
I see six men jumping off a platform in two groups of three. The two groups don't seem to be the same people because their clothes are not all the same as only two people in the first group to jump have stripes and only one person in the second group has stripes. Not to mention, only one person in either groups is wearing shoes. Where they are jumping off from is a platform attached to an unidentifiable building but the other building next, or maybe attached, to it is not a building built for prisons or other common facilities. This makes me think that what they are wearing are not the typical prison clothes found in cartoons, but possibly uniforms for a sport or just clothes for stunts. I also see that the clouds in the lower half of the image kind of look like the Pringles man.
In this picture it looks like there are prisoners that are escaping from jail.I think this because they are all wearing striped uniforms.This could also be part of a play and this might be the stunts they were assigned to do.
I see a couple of men who are voluntarily jumping off of a high platform that looks really similar to a diving board. They are all wearing the same style of clothing, which can indicate that they are part of a group or united in some way. Also, I see two of the six doing a backflip. This makes me think that they are experienced or have done this before.
In the picture I see people floating or probably jumping. These people look like they have swim wear or like prison wear. I also see like a building but it look like a play. I think this might be a play. They are probably shooting some stunts. It also looks like they are jumping of some ramp. To me it doesn't seem like modern day it was probably a while ago. Or it is a play that is placed long time ago.
There are six men jumping off of a diving board into a pool. To the left I see a diving board and also a platform that looks like an elevated high dive platform. Some of the men are wearing what looks like matching swimsuits. Two of the men look like they're performing a flip and some other two men seem to look like they're going to go into a dive. I think these men are acrobats or divers or even entertainers.
I see six men, some with stripe clothes like swimwear jumping off a high platform. I think they are jumping from a diving board. The picture is black and white but I still think it is a modern picture because of the high quality. The back round has a curtain in a building so I think they are in a circus and they are part of an act.
I see men jumping falling through the air off some platform. I see some type of theater painting and a stage. I think its a theater because of the big platform and painted curtains. I think they are shooting a film with stunts.
Our class thinks that there might be only two or three actual people in the picture. We think this because some of the figures look much darker than the others. The darker figures look a lot like the ones in front of them, like shadows. We also noticed their striped clothes, and thought that maybe they were running away from something, someone, or jail.
I think that this is a picture of men in a play being prisoners and jumping off of something to make an escape. I see the men all wearing striped uniforms which is what they usually have in jail. I also see that the building in the background looks odd like it may be a prop for the play. And it is obvious that they are jumping off of something and I think that they are jumping off of the plank to the left side of the photo to make an escape.
I think it looks like a group of six people are jumping off something as a stunt of some sort or jumping off of a diving board. All of these people look about late 20's or early 30's.
I See a black and white photo and it has 6 men in the air after jumping off of some type of board. In the background i see this big stage thing. So i think that this is for some type of act or play, it seems so crazy to actual be a real thing instead of an act.
There are people jumping off of what seems to be a diving board or an edge to jump off of into a pool or a net. I believe this was not taken in current times. I say that because it looks like the people falling are wearing old timey swim suits. I also noticed the building in the background. There is a part of the building that looks like a grand entrance or a grand window with shut large curtains.
@Amaya V
I have a similar response, but I do think that the “grand entrance” or “grand window with large curtains” is not actually one of those. This is because it has a little black railing that goes straight, but then curves in the middle and continues straight, almost like a sideways hat. Most of the time something like is used as a stage where important people would make speeches on or announcements. Otherwise I agree with your descriptions.
Global statement; There are people floating in the air.
Support; This looks like it could A pool because of what there wearing used to be swimwear, but probably not from that long ago. There is also what looks like A mural on the building behind them, it looks like something from a circus which means that they could be part of the circus but they look like children so that would be unlikely. There aldo looks to be A diving board in the background so it might be that these pictures were taken of people mid air diving off of the platform. This is photoshopped and it would make sense for the picture to be taken mid air at the same spot which would enable you to layer the images over each other and just take away the background from the front four pictures. Also two o f the people on the left look like their gymnasts because of the poses their in. Which would also lead once again to the possibility of this being A circus.
Inferation; These are people that are diving off of A board and are in the circus.
In this picture appears to be 6 people jumping off some sort of board. This picture looks to have been taken before color was in photography because it is in black and white. The 3 people on the lower half have stripes on their uniforms which could mean they could be prisoners while the other 3 on the top do not.
I believe that this is a picture of a group of men whose mothers asked them if their friends jumped off a cliff would they as well. They are all showing their answers that they in fact, would by jumping off of a high place. This seems to be in or near a ghetto, based on what they people are wearing.(baggy shirts, shorts part their knees.)I believe that this is a picture of a group of men whose mothers asked them if their friends jumped off a cliff would they as well. They are all showing their answers that they in fact, would by jumping off of a high place. This seems to be in or near a ghetto, based on what they people are wearing. (baggy shirts, shorts part their knees.) I'm thinking that based on the wall in the back, it's a city on the east side of the United States. This is just based off of the vibe the wall gives off.
In this picture, I see 6 people all wearing the same striped jumpsuit and they are all falling out of the air. I Think tht it is a bunch of pictures taken rapid fire as this single person did flips and tricks in the air as he was falling because the person looks similar in all of the poses. I also can see a platform at the top left of the picture so they probably jumped off of that. I know that they are outside somewhere because I can clearly see clouds in the sky in the background. I belive they are in some sort of show or performance because I can see part of the stage or setup twords the bottom right of the image and on that stage are two curtained off rooms..
its looks like its a picture from 1800 n some people jumping off into the water
i think that these 6 men are either a part of a circus or they are jumping into a pool. I think this because they are wearing striped shorts, which used to be common in the 50s ish. They could be a circus act because there is a lot of them and usually 6 people don't jump at the same time.
I think they are jumping off a diving board, since ones that high up are usually wider to help keep them from falling off. They don't look synchronized or anything, so I think they're just messing around and jumping for fun.
To me it looks like they are jump onto a big trampoline, I say this because they don't seem to care how they land which makes me think they will not be harmed so i can't be on concrete.
I see six men falling from a platform. I think they are jumping into a swimming pool from a high dive board in a prison. I think this because back in the day, prison swimming suits were a striped one piece and I can see what looks like a diving board underneath the larger platform. Also, by the way they're positioned, it seems like they're going to land in a body of water.
@Casey M.
Our class liked your comment. We also thought that their clothes looked like prison clothes!
@Casey M. I think you are right. This explanation makes a lot of sense. I did not notice the second plank so that would make sense why there are two. Also that would explain why they are outside and they are all wearing jail uniforms.
It looks like a group of people are jumping off a diving board. Picture looks like it was taken a long time ago because it is in black and white and because of what they are wearing.
in this picture it looks like 6 people are jumping off a diving board. they are probably diving into a pool but i cant tell for certain. this photo is older because its in black and white.
I see a black and white picture where six people (men) are falling from maybe a springboard. The look like prisoners or from a mental hospital. The are falling on a building.
I see 6 men in groups of three. i think they could be jumping off of a diving board maybe. It looks like they could be jumping off a higher diving board because it looks like there are two different platforms. I think this picture was taken a long time ago because of the clothes they are wearing.
They appear to be members of a circus jumping from a diving board onto the stage, based on the fact that their clothes look like costumes and they are jumping onto what appears to be a theater or backdrop of some sort. I think that there are 6 different people based on the fact that all of their clothes are different.
it looks like circus performers jumping off of something, likely into a trampoline or net.
I think several men are jumping off of the high dive at a pool.
The men are wearing old-fashioned swim suits, some seem to be doing flips or tricks, and there are two boards or platforms to the left of the picture. None of the men have shoes on.
Our class has a couple different theories. 1 of them is that there are six people because it isn't possible for one person to get into all of those positions. Some of the class thinks there are only 2 or 3 people because each group is wearing the same clothes. For that reason we think that it's a fake image or Photo Shopped. It looks like they jumped off a diving board. We wonder what they are jumping onto or into and we think it might have to do with the circus because of the uniforms, window, and curtain.
@Lockport School class 8-3 I disagree, it kind of looks like they could be groups of 3 but each group is wearing different clothes so I do not think that could be possible.
@Lockport School class 8-3 What makes you think that the picture would be photo shopped? But, I do agree with you on the fact that they are jumping off a diving board.
@Lockport School class 8-3 The theory about it being photo shopped makes a lot of sense because the two separate groups are wearing the same thing as the others in their groups. so they could just be two people photo shopped into different positions.
from my point of view, they are slaves. and as you see there 3 people on the front and 3 on the back. that makes me think that the fisrt 3 are the slaves and the last three are the slavers. i think that the first 3 are being followed by the last 3 since they have scaped from th plece they where.
@@gucci What makes you think that they are slaves?
@@gucci That is a very interesting way of looking at things but I do not agree. I do not think that they would be jumping off like that.
I see that people are falling. I know this because the way they are positioned. Also, some are jumping straight.
@DESS Good observation of them jumping straight ahead
Yesterday in calls we discussed this image for a considerable amount of time. At first glance for myself i can see several things.
One, i see two groups of three. one group of three could be the actual guilty and the other could be wrongfully imprisoned innocent.
Second, along with my previous statements i can see what appears to be a stadium or theater of some sort.
In conclusion, it could be argued that this photo embodies power. The power being the "prison" or "government" executing both the guilty and innocent just to show that they can.
@Cole D. *class*
@Cole D. I totally agree with you with the last statement!
I see six men. Three at the bottom right are in stripes. And the other group of three aren’t. Almost like the gentlemen in stripes are falling their death for what they did. In other words, they are guilty for a crime.But if you notice with the other three their positions are almost as if they were flung/thrown off. Which makes these men seem innocent/not guilty.
@maria why do you think that some are innocent and some are guilty.
@Maria interesting approach
@Maria I didn't notice that only half of the men were wearing stripes and the other half weren't at first. great observations on the way that they are falling... it really does give the viewer a lot of information about the situation.
Our class looked at this image through a lens of capital punishment. Originally, from my observation I've seen two groups. The group wearing the striped uniforms appear to have been pushed off of the platform (executed). Symbolizing they're prisoners, and understand what they've done, but didn't really agree with the fate that has been chosen for them. The second group appears to have jumped willingly. To me, this symbolizes they're very aware of what they've done and have no remorse. That cannot change the decision that has been made for them, so why not "put on a show", notice two of the men seem to have flipped off of the platform. There appears to be a curtain, which symbolizes the audience, witnesses, and the medical examiners, which are usually present when executions occur. This mean could represent several things, it just depend on how you look at it.
We had a class discussion yesterday about our thoughts on this image through the lens of capital punishment. This picture depicts a glum picture of prisoners' outcome especially since it appears to be a public spectacle. My personal position towards the notion of capital punishment is that of affirmative. Emphasis being on the condition that the defendants have have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It also surmises that their personal history has been included into the consideration of all the facts. Lastly, the the so called public spectacle (not in literal sense though) should pose it as a strong deterrent to criminal minds or those with reckless abandon.
i am 33 years old and I'm going back to school and we have gone over this image, and my believe is from the picture there is no executioner, did they comment suicide? I also see an arena/theater. There are bodies falling from the sky. There's 2 types of clothing on the groups of people that are "falling" from the sky. We don't know who is insent and who's not guilty but there are 2 different types of clothing for these 3 groups of people. We dont know who's guilty and who's not but it can be a show of power they are doing this.
On yesterday my class also read and discuss what’s going on with picture as well,would like more feedback.
@Luberta Tillman our moderators at Visual Thinking Strategies moderate each Monday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST. Unfortunately, they are unable to respond to each comment. Thank you (and your class) for participating and we hope to see you back in the comments again.
We feel like there’s a green screen behind them, and they’re jumping into a foam pit. Maybe they’re stunt men. We think that because of the way it looks in the background. The location kind of looks like a skate park, and it looks like there’s graffiti. Maybe they’re trying to land on their skateboards.
@Cohn's 5th Grade Class that is a really good explanation for what's going on.
looks like people falling from the sky or jumping off something to escape prison. they are in prison clothes and they look funny cuz they are falling like out of no where.
@carmenp I agree with your statement about them being in prison. I think they are wearing prison swimming suits, since that's what they used to, and may still, look like.
There are six people in the air that looks like they jumped off a diving board for a pool and they could be stunt men because they are dressed in prison uniforms I say that because why else would they be dressed in prison uniforms and they obviously cannot be actually escaping there is also a wall with a current that you can't tell the color of because the photo is in black and white.
@Ronan W They probably are stuntmen because of the position that some of them are in, also the curtains looks like it's red with a gold border.
i believe that could be a circus act or possibly a movie, and it shows that these guys are ether in a brother hood due to the fact they are all wearing the same outfit.
@Madison Z yeah I think it has to be some thing like that for an act
There are many people jumping off a high ledge, with a building in the background. I think they are part of some kind of circus or other entertainment group because some of them are in simple matching stripped outfits and some of them look like they are in quite elaborate outfits. I also see that the building has some kind of theatrical painting on in, so that further proves that they are some kind of entertainment. I also believe that they are diving into a pool because you can see a smaller diving board just below the ledge they jumped off and it looks a lot like the community pool in my town when i was growing up. So maybe a group of performers got to perform at some kind of community area.
There are 9 men jumping off of a platform. I believe there is a pool that they are jumping into because platforms like that are normally used for high dives and there is also what looks like a diving board below the platform. Maybe they are doing this as a stunt for a movie about a prison break. I say that because of the striped clothes that they're wearing.
@Connor H. there are 6 by the way.
@@gucci I realized, I was typing faster than I was thinking
I see six people jumping off a diving thing. I can assume they might be jumping into a swimming pool based on their clothing which was very common to have stripes on a swimsuit at one point.
Looks like people jumping off a diving board. Most likely into water because of the swimsuits. They could be stuntmen or circus acts, based on the tricks thier performing. The platform behind them looks like it belongs to a circus.
I see multiple men jumping off a platform, they are also wearing 1900's swimsuits. I can only assume that the men in this photo are swimmers diving off the tall platform into a pool.
I see 6 guys jumping off of a little diving board. Cant really say its a diving board but to me it looks like it. I think that their jumping off something probably into water or not into water. All of the 6 guys are wearing shorts and a tee-shirt. I see a building behind the guys that i dont really know what it is but imma guess its like a stage or some thing. I can see thst ths picture is in black ans white. Im not too sure whats going on this picture but for sure theres something going on.
thair is a groop of people jumping of a high object probably to land in a pool
@owen callaghan
but what if they aren't jumping and this is edited.
The 6 young boys are jumping of a platform for fun into something
@neria how do you know they are young boys and not men? At first glance i thought these were prisoners so what tells you they are young?
there is 6 boys jumping off the high dive it looks like there in the 1950- 1960 because of the swim suits two are doing f;ips two are diving and two just jumped.
Because of the attire the people are wearing and the fact that the picture is in black and white, it looks like the photo is from around the 1950s. It looks like they are jumping off a diving board, and it looks like the are just doing for fun because they are all jumping off at one time, if it was a sport they would probably be jumping off one at a time. It also looks like they might doing a performance of some sort because in the background it looks like there is a curtain like it is a prop or maybe a place to watch from.
@Kennedy I I can understand why you think this. I also believe that maybe they are jumping off of the platform rather than the diving board just because of how high they all are and it would be kind of tough to have them all go off of a diving board all at once like that.
There are 6 people, mostly like men, in 2 groups of three, falling. The photo is in black-&-white and the men are wearing striped suits. The photo was probably taken in the 1960-1980s. I believe the men are jumping off of the platform in the top left and into probably a swimming pool. The striped suits are probably swimming suits since those were popular in the 1900s. The building in the background is made of concrete and has a weird window. Probably putting on a performance.
In this picture I see that there is people falling down but are trying to keep doing motions.
@Ashley yea i agree with your answer, i think that too.
I think that this picture could be of professional divers or some sort of professional job because it doesn’t look like they’re being forced to jump but it looks like they are doing it for fun. I noticed some people doing a flip and another man that looks like he’s doing tricks. It could also be a stunt for a movie, they’re all wearing the same clothes and the background looks like it could be a possible set.
It looks like some stuntmen are filming a jailbreak scene in a movie. I think this because of the striped clothing they are wearing and the structure in the background. I think it's also based back in the 50's because of the monochrome coloring.
I think that this photo was taken at an old circus because of the board at the corner of the picture. i also think that this was taken in the 1960's or so basic on the suits they have on and the curtains in the back. there are 6 people that had jumped and possibly were doing a trick of some sort. some were probably doing back-flips or other things
It looks like this is a photo of some sort of stage show, maybe at a circus. The suits dont look baggy and re striped, which may be swimsuits, These sorts of patterns on swimsuits were very common, They probably have water or some other sort of safe landing due to the height and position of many of the jumpers
In this picture there are 6 men falling from the sky. I believe it to be some sort of recording for a prison escape movie, if their clothing provides clue. It could also have something to do with a circus, seeing at the image in the background appears to have a circus like feel. It could be the stuntmen filming for the movie.
I do not believe this was a real life situation from the surrounding setting. The wall and the curtain look very fake. I think this was either a scene for a movie or play. The men look like they are staging an escape or are running away from someone or something.
I think that a group of people are jumping into a swimming pool. There is what appears to be a diving board, the positions they are in would not make sense if it was jumping over something, what they are wearing reminds me of 19-somethings fashion, and the photo is in black and white. the photo also has elements of jump levitation photography
I can infer that its some sort of circus act because of the outfits they are wearing and the background.
In this image it looks like this six boys are jumping from a platform and maybe doing some tricks for a picture.In the wall it shows some sort of circus theme maybe there doing a play and some photographers are taking pictures while there doing their tricks.
I see that there jumping on a building and having fun and I think they want to do back flips on the air and see who lands on the building first
I see 6 boys jumping to a platform
i believe that this is maybe a stint scene in a movie or circus act
I think this is a group of stuntmen filming a heated prison escape for a movie based on their clothing. It also appears to be sometime around the 50s based on the black and white coloring and filming techniques with a diving board for the stuntmen to jump off of and get a good shot in mid air. The building in the background also looks like it's from a set further proving this is filming for some movie.
@Calum C. Why a movie and why not a live performance? Unique idea.
It looks like this is a photo of some sort of stage show, maybe at a circus. The suits dont look baggy and re striped, which may be swimsuits. These sorts of patterns on swimsuits were very common. They presumably have water or some other sort of safe landing due to the height and position of many of the jumpers.
@Ethan D Yeah, it appears to be either a circus setting or a prison. On first expection I assumed circus, however the more I looked at the clothing they're wearing the more I thought it was a prison setting.
@Ethan D I totally agree
@Ethan D I like that you brought up that they could have some other safe landing place, as a lot of people have talked about water. I also considered they could have some kind of net or a large padded area below them.
Many people think that multiple men are jumping at the same time. They are in the air very close to each other so I thought that maybe that each person was photographed indivivdually and photo shopped together. Some people also think this was taken a long time ago but the quality isn't as bad. This might be a purposely artistic picture in stead of an event. It also seems the platform they're jumping off looks like a diving platform and the thing under it looks like a diving board. They also are probably jumping into a pool because their outfits. Thy used to be swimsuits people wore. I think this picture was intentional to look old with the outfits and black and white camera.
I think that this picture is capturing a scene at a circus. I'm assuming this because the wall has painted on curtains, and the people jumping are dressed in circus like outfits. It looks as if behind the jumping people is some sort or diving board or thing to jump off of. There could be a pool or foam pit or trampoline type of thing under them.
@Lily Z
i agree with this statement because the men do seem like they are doing tricks and jumped from the diving board. they probably jumped from here because of how high it was. this was probably in the 1960's or something because of how they are preforming.
@Lily Z
I agree with this and I didn’t notice the platform that they were jumping off. That does support the idea that there could be a body of water under them for them to safely dive into while performing their tricks.
looks like a lot of people either jumping in a pool or something, or a lot of suicide being commited
1
@Sam H. i dont think they are killing them selfs they look like there having fum
@Sam H. I dont belevie its mass suicide
@Sam H. I disagree because i don't think they would show this in a magazine for hundreds of people to see and by the way they're jumping there is probable something under them to keep the safe.
they are 6 people and they are jumping of the building
@jose Why would you say a building? I see the concrete structure, but they seem to have jumped from the left part of the image and not the centre.
It looks like 6 people are jumping off of a diving board into water that is not seen because of the angle the camera is at. it seems to be set in the 60s because it is in black and white and their outfits look like they are 60s design.
Everyone in this image is jumping off a tall diving board and are all wearing the same striped outfits. The photo shows men that seem to all be in the circus and are performing or prating some tricks. They are all in the circus because there is a diving board and there high in the air to show off a cool tick they all learned. They also all have the same uniforms on because it makes them look unitized for the act. The only thing that leaves me in wonderment is why would the photographer not show us the end results like a pool or bouncy house that they are going to land on.
@Victoria C. That's a good question. I wonder if the photographer left our the landing to add mystery an suspense.
I think this is some sort of stunt circus, depicting prisoners running from jail. The detail on the wall makes me believe this and how some are doing flips. I also think they are acting like prisoners because of the clothes they are wearing.
It appears to be in the 1900s since the picture is in black and white. the attire that the men are wearing are a striped bathing suit that looks like its just a shirt and shorts. all of the men are jumping off a diving board and two of them seems to be doing a back flip while two others looks like there are in diving form.
It looks like six people have jump off of a diving bord. The only reson i say that is because they look like they could be wearing the old fasion bathing suits. This was taken aroud the late 60's early 70's.
There are people sky diving and you know when you jump off a airplane....
They are doing parkour in a buiding.Im guessing they are dare devils
@Victor I think that if they were trying to do parkour they would set themselves up to land better. From the way they are falling it looks like they are just jumping into a pool.
I feel like this is a play about prisoners escaping because people normally don't fall like that i feel like it is a play based on the detailing on the buildings and the fact there is a rail there all jumping off of.I believe this is in day time based on the clouds and the lightness of the sky and the, and that they are prisoners on what there wearing which is black and white.
The guys were doing parkour and it looks like he didn’t land it by the image because he was falling face first.The guys were escaping from the prison because I think there prisoners because from there suit that they are wearing.
I think they are apart of a circus act and are jumping into a trampoline and doing tricks. I think there are in a circus because of the painting on the wall It reminds me of a circus and there outfits also remind me of a stunt man that performs in the circus
In this picture there are 6 men that are in a uniform of some type. all in the air indicating that they just jumped off of something. You can tell they're in some type of uniform because they are all in striped suits. Their destination is unclear because of were the picture cuts out but there should be a swimming pool or some type of stunt pillow on the ground. One question I have is what the concrete looking building is behind the men
In this photo there are people diving into a swimming pool. I say this because they are outside, based on the sky and they are wearing striped clothing. Another reason why I think these people are diving into a pool is the fact that in the top left hand corner there are diving boards. they also happen to do flips.
Hello this image is telling how you escape reality and go and try to reach life goals it looks like a diving board and it is trying to explain how you have to take a leap of faith in life my... Change the world my final message... goodbye
it looks like there are 6 people jumping into a pool in the 70s because its in black and white and the outfits there wearing look like older fashion
In this picture, I see men who look like acrobats. You can see them jumping off a platform and they appear to be doing flips and tricks in the air. I also see that they are wearing some kind of costume, maybe a kind of looser unitard. You can also see a building in the background that seems to be a stage of some sort, covered by a curtain. What I I wonder is what the men are jumping into (water, a trampoline, a safety net), why they seem to be in groups of three, and what time period this picture was taken in. It may have been taken around the early to mid 1900s because this picture is in black and white, though that could be a filter put on the picture for effect.
Our third grade class had many observations about the picture.
- prisoners escaping from jail--based upon the outfits
-stuntmen acting out an escape for a movie
-actors from long ago acting in a circus movie, because the picture was in black and white
-clowns trying out to join a circus, because of outfits and crazy behavior.
@Carney class
Interesting ideas, I would love to hear more about the clowns joining the circus one.
I Also agree that those are all reasonable answers but i also believe that they are jumping in the pool maybe for the circus or a play based on the detailing on the building and that it was taken a while ago because the picture is in black and white and those are the swimsuits they would wear back then.
@Carney class Those are some very creative ways of looking at this image, good accusations.
They are jumping building to building and it's also called parkour that's when you do tricks of building.
@David What sort of other building could they be jumping to?
@David As someone who practices parkour, they wouldn't be barefoot if they were roof jumping and would have better mid air jump form. Is it possible they're jumping into water?
@David I don't agree with that because they aren't jumping off of a building and they are in front of the building in front of them and they are also wearing old styled swimming suits and it looks like that could be a diving board that they jumped off.
This is a stage show representing how these men are breaking out of jail.I can infer this because it looks like the men run and jump very quickly just like they would in real life.
@Ms. Good prediction, but you can tell that there is some type of diving board behind them, they're also being photographed so I don't think they are jail men.
@Ms. They could be runing away from something
I think this picture looks like a circus. I can infer this because the men are wearing striped clothing. That is how clowns dress. It looks like they are jumping down of diving broads and end in a swimming pool. Art the sides there is scenery so it will fit with the circus scene.
@Ms.
I agree because I see there outfits and the background but I do not know what they are jumping into because I cant see it but I believe it is a trampoline or a swimming pool
They are showing people how they can flip.They camera is from a long time ago. This show was in 1980.This is a stage show representing how these men are breaking out of jail. They are jumping swimming and they do wonderful movements.
To me this looks like an act of some sort. It looks planned out because the people are jumping in groups of 3 and don't look like they are too scared.
We thought it was a prison break (because of the striped suit), old-time diving board (because of the swimsuits), carnival act jumping into a small pool (the swimsuits and the background). We read some comments and found the actual picture of the Aquazanies.
@Mrs. Faith's 1st Block i definitely agree with the carnival act part i although i didn't really realize the swim suit part that would very much so make sense.
They are freestyle driving off a board. Or it is part of a circus.
@Mr. C's 8th grade class it
it is possible that they are in a circus act.
so its definitely two people but they Photoshoped themselves doing three different things. it is definitely not real let alone the two different people are wearing the same exact things for all three different stunts. the person closer to the diving board is the first man and the one closer to the "Water" is the second man. its definitely not real
@Eden I do agree that it is photo shopped
This picture is of a group of people jumping off an olympic diving board. Their swimsuits look old fashioned. It is in black and white. There’s a wall with a curtain in the back, so this might be some sort of show or performance.
@Maddy having them in a circus is a good idea because they are jumping from so high
It looks like a group of kids/adults are diving into a pool. There's a diving board in the back and the picture looks kind of old, and their suits look like they're from an older era.
I think that the 6 men are jumping off of a diving board and it’s like one of those high jump diving boards, which is why they are so far up and you can’t see the water (which is also because of the angle at which the picture was taken). I also think that they are doing some sort of act for entrainment because I don’t think that lifeguards, or someone like that, would let that many people jump off at the same time or that close to each other out of concern of one of them getting hurt.
It looks like this is an older picture from the black and white and because of what the men jumping are wearing. It looks like swim suits from maybe the early 1910's? I'm guessing they are diving, though not competitively or very seriously. Just for fun maybe. I'm guessing they are diving because it looks like a diving board in the top left.
It seems the men are jumping off of a diving board. Maybe for some kind of stunt. Their matching striped outfits make me think that this picture is of a movie stunt.
There's six people flipping off diving boards, it looks like Olympic diving boards. This picture is probably from a while ago because their suits look like they're from a different time period.
Christs School, 7DBO English
We think that this is a picture of acrobats perhaps in a circus or filming for a movie. This is because the stripes could suggest a uniform or they also connote to prisoners uniform. Also, the poised body language suggests that they are professional jumpers/acrobats.
People is jumping off a building because they are doing parkour in real life. My other reason is that they might be in danger and someone is chasing after them and made them jump off the building. They might be jumping off a diving board because they are swimming at someone's house.
@Nuei bruh that aint no building that a diving board dawg
To mee it looks like maybe these guys are in a circus or are doing an act. At the bottom i see something that looks like a curtain. I also see them doing weird poses that represents how flexible they are. They all seem to be jumping off of a very high board.
I see six men jumping from a platform and doing some stunts. They look like prisoners because of their clothes, but I doubt it since not all of their clothes have the same pattern. They also seem to be jumping in groups of three.
@Kkkim I noticed the groups of 3 too. I wonder if that is on purpose or just a coincidence?
This is an older photo of men training for the circus. The background of the image shows what looks to be a curtain that you would regularly see at the circus. The men's clothing isn't something you would casually wear and is closer to a uniform for the performers. The color is also in black and white, and their training and equipment don't look modern. The movement the men make is also an indicator of their occupation. They seem to be doing acrobatic tricks while jumping off a diving board into a pool.
This picture brings back fond memories of my childhood. The men in that picture were all long time friends of my Mother and Father. One of them is my God father. We used to go to that flushing amphitheater every year to see them. I think they were called the Aquazanies and they are doing their clown diving act. They also did fancy diving. One year one of the side acts was the three stooges. So the picture is one act in a show in the 1950's.
@John That is so cool! Thanks for sharing that. We were wondering if it's 6 men or just 3 and an overlapped picture?
It looks like the are at a circus and they are giving an dangerous act.
Those people are prisoners. They want their freedom thats why they jumping. I believe those prisoners were finally free and they can see their family, friends, relatives in peaceful world.
I see that people are trying to escape from their dictator and they were getting chased by the guards. I think that they're trying to do trick shots while their jumping and seek asylum to US.
This picture is what appears to be people jumping from a surface. I hope it is some sort of circus act because of the costumes the people are wearing and the building behind them has theater curtains. They are probably skilled performers of some sort. This picture is probably not too recent since it is in black and white.
I think that this picture was not taken, it was, instead, photshoped, because it was just in the year when photoshop was invented. The unnatural positions of the persons there make me think that. And also, that the plateform is too big and tha there are too many people "diving" at the same time.
@Caro This is an interesting idea. I think the picture being photoshoped is also a possibility due to the positions as well.
People are jumping because they can't handle their situation or problems.
I see people jumping off something idk. From the look of it, it looks like prisoners jumping to there freedom. But i dont get the wall thingy.
There are 6 people jumping off a platform but they are in 2 groups of 3. It seems like a cloudy day.
In this image it looks as if these people are professionally performing, or maybe practicing an acrobatic act. These people look like they jumped off of a building and are posing and doing flips in the air. Also I notice that some of the people (two of the guys on the right) are wearing the same outfit. In the bottom right there is a building that looks like a place that there would be some sort of show, maybe an amphitheatre.
It looks like a summer commercial. They may be jumping off a diving board into the swimming pool. There also is a big decorated wall in the background. They appear to be all male.
I think they are doing a Circus show or act.
I see that there are 6 people with matching outfits jumping from a diving board.
People are putting a show like in the circus for entertainment
For the people who are watching.
I see people jumping. I think they are prisoner who wants to get away from the jail.
I think there a bunch of kids jumping on to something like a pool or trampoline. Because they sre jumping from something that looks like a diving bored. There is a huge building behind them.
I see person like prisoner jumping and escape for their freedom i can tell that their prisoner because of their clothes.
It looks like people are jumping from the edge of the building into the other.
I can see that these people are jumping and as we can see they seem having fun. All of these people wearing the same clothes.
I think that these people were escaping from prison because of the first people that jumped and has to jump from somewhere, but it also make me think that they are doing a circus act because some guys looks like doing a flips in the air.
I think this people are performing into a circus and they use the jumping board to get into the pool?. Their clothes matches and it look likes a circus clothes?.
I think the people jump in to a large body Of water.
I think they are a circus people doing there act
And jumping off the diving board is part of their act.
I think this people are prisoners and people were executing them.
I see six men jumping off a diving board. in the background there is a circus-like building. It has a curtain on it. The picture is in black and white, and the men, presumably clowns, are dressed in stripes.
I see people jumping from the same location. I feel like, they were slaves and finally got they freedom.
@Mica They are escaping from jail by the way!
this is clearly a green screen and they are jumping off of a platform, prison movie. the reason why i think it's a green screen is because if they jumped that high up they would die.
Intermediate Photo class:
People are jumping but into what? A pool? A trampoline? Maybe they are clowns in a circus or other performance based on their outfits and the building/background with painted frames. Maybe the photo has been photoshopped?
In this picture, I see men who look like acrobats. You can see them jumping off a platform and they appear to be doing flips and tricks in the air. I also see that they are wearing some kind of costume, maybe a kind of looser unitard. You can also see a building in the background that seems to be a stage of some sort, covered by a curtain. What I I wonder is what the men are jumping into (water, a trampoline, a safety net), why they seem to be in groups of three, and what time period this picture was taken in. It may have been taken around the early to mid 1900s because this picture is in black and white, though that could be a filter put on the picture for effect.
It looks like they are doing parkour
I have two guesses.
One, it may be an acrobatic performance of some kind, in which they jump off what looks like a diving board to land on a pool or net of some kind. Maybe even a trapeze.
It could also be digital art, which would explain why it looks somewhat unreal, like the laws of physics are being broken or at least bent.
Looking closely, two men have a black and white 1 piece jumper, so it looks like as if they were in jail. They could've just broke out of jail. I would think that since two could've broken out, the rest of them broke out, as if they were in a group. It looks like they are jumping/falling from that ledge/deck. They could be jumping onto another building, or it also looks kind of like one of those ramps at a skate park.
It's either a circus act or people jumping into a pool.
Some of them are wearing striped suits which are similar to old fashioned swimsuits.
There is a building in the background with curtains which could also be a circus.
There is a standing area thing at the top left which helps my swimming theory.
There are six people jump off a diving board jumping into the unknown. I think that they are on a movie set because they have a fun looking background. It seems that they are in the older times like 1930s to 1960s when movies were in black in white, and swimsuits were different.
I think that in this picture a group of acrobats is performing for an important historical event. There are men jumping off a board and they are making weird shapes with their bodies. In the back, there is a building that looks like it is part of a circus. All of the men are using a striped bodysuit that makes me think that they might be prisoners or maybe the striped swimsuit was common in that era.
To me, it looks like there are people practicing for a circus because of their outfits and their actions. It looks like they are jumping into or onto a pool or a big soft mat. The environment looks likes its in a secluded area outside.
It looks like there performers jumping into the pool because there doing obscure tricks off of a diving board, i know there jumping into a pool because that is what old swimsuits looked like with the stripes and every thing they look like performers because they are doing obscure tricks and there is an interesting back drop.
We can infer that the group of people are jumping from a building to a building, possibly doing parkour or jumping into a pool. The group may be part of an act based on their doing the stunt in a group and striking similar poses. They could possibly be smugglers or trying to run away from something.
I think that they are running off of a diving board to swim or walking the plank on a boat or they are in jail with those striped clothes or they are like the boy in the striped pajamas.
They might be jumping from a diving board all together by the way they are doing their flips
I'm thinking that they are doing some kind of a circus act but its by a pool area that's why they are wearing swimsuits from old times and there's diving board which where they jumped from
They're jumping off a diving board
I see six people jumping off some sort of a dam, and I think to me that they could be jumping over it because maybe their immigrants or they just found the biggest pool and just decided to jump in in.
I see that people are jumping from who knows what to freedom. I believe that the people are prisoners who finally are free after all these years away from family, friends, and freedom.

@Kristina why do you think these people are prisoners?
@Kristina Since they are in striped outfits, I can see how you would think they are prisoners jumping to freedom. However, I don't think they are. Why would there be a theater curtain on the building? I don't know. You could be right.
I feel like this is a circus act. The people seem to have on costumes and seem to be doing a unsafe act.
To me, it looks like some people jumping into a large body of water because it looks like they are wearing old-timey bathing suits.
@Belladonna
Hi!
It is interesting that you noticed that they could be old-timey bathing suits. I thought that they were working at the circus and that they could be wearing a costume. What do you think?
I think that some sort of circus act (or maybe a competition) is going on between/with the men in the picture.
I say this because I can see these men jumping off of the platform. They seem to be jumping in groups of 3 and have a certain form with their bodies.
All of them are wearing matching outfits.
It looks like people jumping off of a platform. They have striped suits on they look like swimming suits. They look like they are a part of circus.
It looks like it could be a circus act.
It looks like the 6 people are jumping into the abyss in the picture. But, I'm willing to bet that there is a safety net below, so no one would be injured. Some of them seem to be doing some sort of trick or flip, mid-air. What I also see, that is a particular choice, is how the photo is all black and white. So we cannot see what color their clothes are, if there are any colors on them. It is possible that they are in the circus because they are seem to be of a similar stature and height.
What I wonder is what time period this photo takes place in.
@Bailey P Good observation about the men being similar heights to support your theory of this being a circus act. I hadn't thought of that!
I see a group 6 people jumping off of some type of ledge. I think that it is for some type of movie or something because there's an animated picture on the back wall. I also think that because of the clothes they are wearing. I don't think that this picture wasn’t taken too long ago but i'm not sure why.
There are 6 people in striped clothing jumping or falling off of a platform. The photo is black and white. Their clothing looks like prison clothes. There is a building at the bottom of the photo and the platform is on the left. In the background is the sky. The people look like there enjoying there fall because of their movements, some of them are upside down and they are all doing something with their arms and legs. There are always three together. Something that looks like a window, on the building reminds me of the circus, so maybe those people are doing tricks.
@Linnea J I never thought about their feelings over this, but you're right, they probably are enjoying this. After all, they are probably very skilled at this, or else they wouldn't be performing such a dangerous stunt. Good observation that there are always three together,
With how these men are dressed, it looks like they are wearing old fashioned bathing suits, like from 1950's, or somewhere around that time. And since the picture is black and white it also looks like it is from the 1950's maybe even a little sooner. It looks like these men are jumping into a body of water or some sort, especially since some of them are doing an acrobatic jump. As for the building in the back I am unsure of what that could, at first I thought it was a hotel of some sort but I see no windows but instead there are paintings of curtains. Curtains that you would see at theaters.
I see 6 acrobats jumping off what looks like a bridge or a platform. They are all wearing clown type suits so I think they are acrobats in the circus. The building in the background has a kind of a curtain on it so it looks like it belongs in a circus. I think all the acrobats want to make it look like they are kinda falling, then when they do their trick it looks better or something like that.
I think that the picture portrays various men that are jumping to a pool from a platform. They seem to be wearing some kind of bathing suit on, which makes me think they are going to land on a body of water, like a pool or a lake. Apart from this, the men are doing some sort of acrobatic jump, so it is pretty logical that they are jumping into water. The suits look really old fashioned and the picture is in black and white, hinting that the photo was taken a pretty long time ago before photographs in color could be taken. I wonder if the building behind the men has something to do with them?
I think this picture is showing a partial jump of a circus group. I think that they are jumping into a pool or water since their attire seems to be a swimsuit-like thing. I think it is a circus because of the background where we see sort of like a building with some painted curtains and it gives the feel of some sort of show or spectacle. I can see the jumping board on the left which makes me think they are diving. Maybe they are doing tricks on the trampoline, but they are for sure jumping.
In this picture, I observed that there are 6 men jumping out of a diving board, these men look like if they are wearing pajamas. I can see that they are in a really high place and I predict that there are jumping into a pool at a circus and they all need to wear the same clothing for the show. I think that this is in a circus because we can see that there is a building below that has really different designs that look like windows, these designs remind me of a circus. I also see that the building has a circular kind of shape so I believe that it is truly a circus
I think the men are practicing for some kind of circus or event. They are all in the same clothes. The thing on the wall in the back looks like its for a theater or circus. The picture is black and white but I don't think it was taken too long ago. There could be water or a net below the men to catch them. Or they are photo shopped into the picture.
There are four men that look to be dressed in swimsuits in the 1930 and it appears that they are jumping off a diving board.I think that they are swimming or having some type of swim competition.
It seems to be six stunt professionals jumping off a diving board. I do believe that this is a set because of the Italian looking stage to the bottom right, and the sky looks too fake to be the actual sky. I also noticed that the stunt professionals are dressed in foreign like circus outfits, which could also indicate that this was shot somewhere in Europe.
in my opinion it looks like people in striped clothes are being thrown off of a plank or a building and they look scared because of the faces they are making and they body movement and it looks like its about to rain because the sky is dark and grey.
We think they are circus performers and this is part of their act. We think this because of the jumpsuits and the possible performance stage.
I see the there is six men jumping/falling off of what seems a diving board or ledge. The men are wearing what looks like old fashion prison uniforms. Then i see what seems to be a stage under the men what leads me to believe its part of some sort of act for show.
i looks like there jumping off of a ledge on to something. and the picture doesnt look very old because the cloth look very modern.
In this picture, I see six people, fully clothed, being pushed off what looks like a platform diving board. I think this photo was taken in the early 60's because it is black and white. The people are extremely high in the air, I can tell this because they are higher than a church looking building. It looks like they were pushed off due to their movement. 3 of the people look like they are wearing prison jumpsuits. I don't see a pool in the photo, but it was probably too low to see.
In this picture, there is a group of men jumping from a platform high up. It is not visible where these men will land. I think that this picture shows an act from a circus. I believe this because the men are all dressed the same way, with a specific type of uniform or costume. I also believe this because the men look like acrobats by the way they are jumping. Lastly, I think it is part of a show because at the bottom of the picture there is a wall that has a theater curtain painted on it, which gives me the impression that they are performing. I also notice that the picture is in black and white, which makes me wonder if this picture was taken long ago.
in this picture you can see 6 man jumping from what looks like a diving platform, what makes me think they're at some sort of pool. Judging by their outfits they're from the 20's or something. You can also notice the building and the painting on it, which seems more like a detail from the pool, which leads me to think that this is a water park or something.
This looks like a high dive suicide where you jump off and before you hit the water you tuck(death diving). The swim suits there wearing look old and it's in black and white. and by the back ground the family is rich.
I think these people could be practicing for something because theyre in matching uniforms. This could have been taken a long time ago because it is black and white or it may just be a filter.
they are jumping off the divey bode it looks fake and it photoshop
@Jon G
Hi!
It is interesting that you think the photo is forged. What makes you think that it is photoshop? What clues in the photo lead you to believe that it is fake?
I guess some personals that are at a circus
@Taelyn W
Interesting, I didn't think about them being at the circus. Why do you say that?
There are 6 acrobats doing a demonstration of a historic event like running away like in the Holocaust or maybe shooting a movie and it's part of the act. The photo is taken outside in a black and white filter.
There are some acrobats doing a demonstration of a historic event like the Holocaust, in a stage similar to a circus.
The evidence is that they are willingly jumping into space, which means they obviously have some kind of safety. Two of them are doing backflips and most are in positions which would normally not happen,, which shows they are acrobats and know what they are doing. They are probably in a circus or similar stage as there are curtains in the back look proper of a circus stage. The picture is also old as it is in black and white, when the circus was much more popular. They are wearing prisoner what looks like prisoner suits, which is part of the show.
I also notice that the sky is partly cloudy, with no precipitation. There is also another, lower platform.
@Daniel
I think you have a very valid point with the possibility of them being circus acrobats or something of that origin. The reason I say this is because of the size and height they all seem to be, as well as how they are all doing a dangerous stunt.
In my opinion they are prisoners being thrown off of a plank or a building because they're facial expressions and their body movements.
@Derrick that is a good iduo
@Derrick i agree with what you say and how they are jumping or being pushed off the edge and they facial and body expressions they look scared
@Derrick I believe that they are having fun or even just scared because they're jumping from a high spot, but if your guess is that they are prisoners because of their outfits, those were very common swimsuits around the 20's
We see a group of people playing a game. We think that something will catch them down by the building. We think that they are playing a game because there are many of them, and they don't look scared.
@Ms Collinge Team 1 It could be related to a video game but who knows but in my opinion they do look pretty scared just by their face expressions.
@Ms Collinge Team 1 How can you tell that they aren't scared? And what kind of a sick game are they playing that they are throwing themselves off of platforms?
I think that the picture portrays various men that are jumping to a pool from a platform. They seem to be wearing some kind of bathing suit on, which makes me think they are going to land on a body of water, like a pool or a lake. Apart from this, the men are doing some sort of acrobatic jump, so it is pretty logical that they are jumping into water. The suits look really old fashioned and the picture is in black and white, hinting that the photo was taken a pretty long time ago before photographs in color could be taken. I wonder if the building behind the men has something to do with them?
In this picture, I see a group of prisoners diving into a pool, possibly in the 1940s. I think this because the men all have matching swimsuits that have a pretty vintage look and they seem to be jumping off a diving board. A swimming pool is not actually pictured but the men seem to have jumped off (not fallen) and are even making interesting shapes with their bodies, which makes me think that they are jumping into a pool and not onto any hard surface. The fact that the men are all wearing striped clothes makes me think that they are some sort of prisoners but the exact time when the photo was taken is unclear, which makes me wonder if they were prisoners of some kind of war.
I think this picture is showing a partial jump of a circus group. I think that they are jumping into a pool or water since their attire seems to be a swimsuit-like thing. I think it is a circus because of the background where we see sort of like a building with some painted curtains and it gives the feel of some sort of show or spectacle. I can see the jumping board on the left which makes me think they are diving. Maybe they are doing tricks on the trampoline, but they are for sure jumping.
@Natalia Aceves agreed, I also believe that this is a circus act of some sort.
@Natalia Aceves I also think it has something to do with the circus.
What is going on in the picture?
1 People are jumping out of jail
2 It looks like it is about to rain
What do you see that makes you say that?
1 They all have black and white jumpsuits
2 The sky is dark and clouds are covering the sky
What other details can you find?
1 Looks like they are lying down and there is green screen they are laying on
@landon That is very interesting. Cool theory.
I think that what is going on in this picture is that some adults are jumping into a pool from a trampoline. The reason I think this is that the picture looks like it was taken many years ago which means men could have worn bathing suits that covered them a lot. Also, it looks like there is an audience in some type of open-air theater. I am also able to state that because the platform form which they jumped from looks designed for jumping. Something else I was able to notice was that the background building has some sort of theater balcony.
I agree with@Natalia Abaroa because That is also what I think.
@Natalia Abaroa
i agree this is what i think.
Analysis Paragraph: In this picture, there is a group of people jumping from a platform that seems like some sort of diving board, they are probably practicing some type of aerobics or diving. You can clearly see the platform from where they jumped from and the fact that it’s not included in the picture where they are landing leads me to think it’s really high up. It could also be some kind of circus performers or an aerobics/gymnastics team as they are wearing matching uncommon/funky outfits. My main questions are, Where are they landing? And, How long ago was this picture taken? It is black and white, maybe it is just a filter or it was taken that way.
I think what's going on in this picture is that divers are jumping from high diving platform into water. By their attires I believe that it it's probably from an older time because people now don’t wear those types of clothes when they're diving. Something that confuses me, however, is that many people are jumping at the same time so I don’t think this is a very professional scenario and it could be a public pool or something. Both the low quality of the image and the outfits make me believe that this is old.
They are giving a show. It's probably an old picture, we can infer this because the quality isn’t very good, its black and white and seems old. You can see in the back there is a type of stage and if you look at the fake “window” there is something that seems like a metal handle and a courtine behind as if someone could come out of there. They are jumping into something like water or a big gymnast landing mat, I say this because of the platform they are jumping off, it’s a platform made to jump into one of the two things I mentioned, it even has two heights. I also notice they are all dressed the same and the dress reminds me of something but I’m not exactly sure to what. They are giving a show. It's probably an old picture, we can infer this because the quality isn’t very good, it's black and white and seems old. You can see in the back there is a type of stage and if you look at the fake “window” there is something that seems like a metal handle and a courtine behind as if someone could come out of there. They are jumping into something like water or a big gymnast landing mat, I say this because of the platform they are jumping off, it’s a platform made to jump into one of the two things I mentioned, it even has two heights. I also notice they are all dressed the same and the dress reminds me of something but I’m not exactly sure to what.
I believe the photograph pictures a group of men performing on a play, jumping off a diving platform into a pool that is not visible. I think this was taken during the first half of the twentieth century because of the fashion of the swimsuits. I infer it is an image of a play because the background was two sets of curtains, paintings, a set up, and platforms. I observe it is a performance because the jumps they are making are funny and weird. They are making flips and twists, it is not a normal jump into a pool.
@Maria I agree, i think they are doing a play or some kind of movie scene, or they could be jumping off a platform on to a pool due to the types of clothes they are wearing.
In this photo, I realize that 6 people are jumping at the same time. However, they have split into two groups with 3 people in each group when jumping. I realized that one group also has striped clothes while the other doesn’t. I believe that they are jumping to a large pool. Maybe the clothes they are wearing were used as a swimming suit in that era. I also noticed that there is a platform where it is always next to a pool in public. This is what I thought at first. But then, I realized that it could also be a circus act where the people are acrobats. I can see this by looking at the building that has a weird form which makes me think as a circus show.
In this old black and white picture, it looks like there are prisoners jumping from a high place. They are prisoners as they have black strips in white uniform, just as the clothing prisoners use. This is an old photograph not just because it is in black and white, but also it has the grains that old pictures have. I believe that these prisoners are escaping from jail or they are not prisoners but rather swimmers jumping to a swimming pool. This is as the unform they have is also kind of related and similar to the one swimmers many years ago used to have and use. I also see a curtain in the bottom, which may mean that this is a kind of circus or show.
I think this picture is supposed to be a metaphor for an addiction or something and how it is a prison and then you can be used for entertainment. I think it is a metaphor because I highly doubt that some people actually did that jump so it must be an artistic statement. I think it is comparing something to prison because the group closest to the platform is wearing normal clothes while the ones closest to the end are wearing prison clothes. Finally I think it has to do with entertainment or something because the end spo5 has curtains like a puppet show or theater. Something that I am wondering about this picture is that if it is real and not an art péice, if it was specifically taken for the article.
The thing that is happening here is that there are 6 men diving into water. My evidence is that they are wearing old swim suits. My reasoning for this is that usually when you jump off a high place it is into water. The swim suit most likely makes me think this. The other thing that makes me think this is the diving board because it it used to dive into water/ swim.
@Jason i agree with you because that was almost like the same thing as i said
in this picture it looks like a long time ago i think this cause it is in a black in white photo kinda. also i see it looks like there going of like a diving board doing tricks in front of people maybe like a photo shoot i think this because it looks like a couple of them are doing back flips and there taking mid air photos.
@jerimiah That sounds reasonable
@jerimiah yeah it looks kinda of older because of like like the clothing.
what i see and picture in my head is that a whole gang of people jumped off of a diving board and just wanted to have fun cause if you look closely you can see that there all in shorts and you can use shorts for swimming so maybe there just trying to have fun.
In this picture there are 6 guys jumping from a high platform, some of them look like they are wearing prison clothes or something and they jumped 3 people at a time so it looks as if they have done it before. It also looks like they are putting on a show because the background looks like a set like in a T.V show. I think this because that's what I see and it looks like they are in a circus because it looks like a set like I said before, it also looks like they might be jumping into a pool because why else would they jump? They look scared about what they are doing too. if you look closely at their faces you can see they are scared.
@Ellie I like your opinion Gabrille Lesh
I think there are 6 people jumping off a diving board into a pond of some sort.
Six men jumping off some type board and they are kinda holding hands and doing back flips and I think that they are diving into a pool. The men are actually in the air doing flips and jumping into whatever it is. The men are wearing striped bodysuits and it looks like they are outside and i also see that there are some curtains behind them and the curtains are on a massive wall behind the guys.
What is Going on in this Picture?
1. What is going on in the picture?
In the picture it looks like they are doing tricks off of a ramp; I seems like there swimming a little.
2.What do you see that makes you say that?
I see them in clothing that looks like a swim suit and they are all in the air with their legs almost pushed against each other.
3.What other details can you find?
Some other details I found are their background kind of looks like they are at the circus; or like a play outside.
People are jumping of a diving board all at once and it looks like it is a pretty old picture because of the desin of the swimmsuits and the black and white. You can tell they jumped of a diving board because of the platform in the corner. It also looks like it could posably be a circus because the curtan desin on the wall.
In my opinion this photo shows six men jumping off of a diving board in the first Olympics. I know this because there is a diving board in the picture. This is why I believe they are Olympians in the very first Olympics.
What do I see that makes me think this? The black and white striped jumpsuits and the black and white coloring, and sky. They are wearing black and white jumpsuits, and it looks like they might be getting rained on.This tells me that something bad might happen because of the color’s they are using.
i think that those people are circus to perform that jump out in the net or it just those swimming people that jump out to a pool for record.
what is happening in this picture is there are people in black and white suits jumping off of something, because that is what the picture shows. Which is why i think that is happening.
It makes me say that because What i see is I see a bunch of people doing flips in the air looking like they jumped off of something. Which is why i put that.
What i can also find is a tall wall to little platforms coming from the left and its cloudy. I see all of that in the picture. That is all the stuff i can find.
1. I think what is going on in the picture is men jumping from a plane onto a building from a plane crash. I say this because I see men jumping from what looks to be like a plane.’
2. What I see to make me say that is the plane walkway and people jumping onto a building.
3. The other details I can find is they are jumping onto a Mexican restaurant.
In the picture I think a bunch of kids are trying to escape jail or juvie because they are wearing like suits that they wear in jail. I think this because at the top of the picture there is literally kids jumping.That is why I think that.
I believe that it's some circus people doing some type of stunts for a show at the circus or maybe they are jumping in a pool. -------------------

What I see here is six people jumping at once but in groups of three. What I also noticed is the first group are wearing striped shirts and the second group are wearing spotted shirts. What I believe is that these people are professional acrobats and athletes, possibly jumping into a pool or onto a trampoline. Are these acrobats and athletes or are they random people, jumping at the same time? I still believe these are professional acrobats for a show.
This picture is about clearly people jumping off a balcony or a diving board. I dont think someone took this picture. i think someone painted this. It seems for artistic in my point of view and the color is all different shades of gray. My question is, is it a painting or a picture?
It looks like these people are high divers that are performing some kind of entertainment for others at a famous place. Maybe some kind of celebration for a holiday. All of the divers are going 3 at a time so it might be a group act to impress others.
I think that they are jumping into something like a pool.One reason is that I don't think they would jump if there was nothing there.Also because the background looks like its at a circus.
@lesli true
In this picture it looks like six men jumping from a diving board. I can see that they are wearing pajamas. They look like they are jumping off of a platform. I also notice that in the background it looks like a building from a circus. So I think that there are six men from a circus jumping off a diving board onto a platform.
Looks like they are doing a talent show. Because I can see like a curtain in the background. It looks like they are wearing costumes also.
I think these people are from the circus and are performing an act for people. I think this because I see a circus looking building in the background and they are not wearing usual shirts. There is a diving board which they must have jumped from on the side.
@Vincent I agree
In this picture, I think Circus people are jumping off of a platform. one thing that I see in the background shows decorations on the building that look like a circus tent and the way the people are jumping in funny positions e
In this picture, I think the people are running from the cops because they were arrested for doing a bank robbery dressed as jail inmates so no one knows their true identity.
In this picture, the people are skydiving. I see the people are high in the air and doing tricks.
In this picture, people are doing tricks into a pool at the circus. One thing that make me think this is one person is doing a backflip and it looks like a curtain in the background.
I think that this is people in the Olympics jumping off a diving board and doing tricks in mid air while the judges watch.
@Derrick With pj's on?
What do I think is happening in this picture? I think there are three guys escaping jail, because of their black and white striped jumpsuits, it also looks like a rainy day the day they plan to escape. I think this because, they all three have black and white striped jumpsuits on, and it kinda looks like three guards are chasing after them. This tells me that something bad is about to happen since its in black and white coloring.
1
I think that the people in the picture are doing gymnastics. I can tell that because there locked arms and jumping from a high place.
@sebastian I agree with you because it does look like that
I believe that they are a group of street performers doing a trick to impress the people of the street. and getting paid like a homeless person sitting on the street and people giving them money.Or they are trying to get fame or power.or doing it for fun. Trying to fly or “coming in style”. or mabey they are pro.
@jacob I forgot to add my three queastions they are
what is the case are they sky diving or are they jumping into a pool or a target
It looks like people are escaping from prison because they are all wearing striped clothes like prison outfits. Maybe even they are doing a circus act and they are jumping off of something.
@Evan I disagree because they might be from a circus
I think that this is some kind of circus act because maybe these six men jumped off of a diving board and into a big pool. I also think this because of the outfits that they have on.
People are jumping off a building.
They are in mid air and there is a platform behind them.
Some of them are wairing striped suits and the background looks like a circus.
I believe in this photo, it is a photo shoot where "old school" swimmers are jumping off of a diving board because i see a large wedge in the upper corner and these people are wearing old school outfits. I see lots of people in the air at once, so I am guessing that this is a professional and the divers are pro as well. All of these people are clump together so they probably jumped at the same time which also leas me to believe it is pro.
@Rob @Rob I agree with you that they are swimmers in the Olympics.
@Rob I agree with you but, mabey they are making a video a video shoot but i think your right.
i aree with you beause you have a lot of detail!
I think that this is a picture of a group of men who are diving from a high distance. I also think that this is a performance for a large crowd that have come to watch these guys do tricks and dives into the pool. I also see a tall and big building that is curved with a design on the one part of the wall. These people must be professional since 6 people are jumping at the same time.
in this picture, i see that there a 6 men with prison suits that are jumping off diving board. the men look like they are doing tricks and flips. they could be in a circus.
I think all these 6 guys are jumping into a pool from a high diving board. I think these guys are from a circus or some type of entertainment. I think they are in a circus because of what they are wearing and the background has a curtain on that picture.
I believe that this picture shows a few circus men diving from a diving board. Somethings that support my claim is i can barely see a big plat form and it looks like a diving board. the men look like they are wearing swim suits of some kind.
I think these are circus people, I think this because of the small detailed curtain on the wall, so, if this is a circus then these people might be jumping into some of pool, because they are jumping off a diving board with bathing-suit-like clothing attire.
I think that they are at some kind of circus or a show why, because they are wearing a costume they are all doing different moves in the air. Another clue I see is that there is a fake picture of a curtain on the wall.
i think that these guys are jumping off of a diving board, they look like they're in jail because of stripes on their swimsuits. i think this because you can see the diving board in the corner of the photo and people are in the air
i think this is a bunch of people in the circus because of the back ground and they are all wearing stripes and a lot of the people look very crazy.
I think this is at a circus. I believe this due to the walls in the background and the paintings on the walls. The striped outfits also give me this impression, it doesn’t give me a jail vibe because the pants stop at the knees so it's definitely a bathing suit. The man in the far back doing the weird shape with his body also looks like he is trying to perform to look afraid.
I agree with @Isaiah because the background really did look like a circus and they do look like their are in swim suites.
We think they are jumping into a pool because it looks like there is a diving board. We think that they may have jumped on a trampoline. Additionally, maybe they are competing for something or maybe they have a show.
I believe that there are six people jumping off of a platform into a swimming pool for a circus or carnival. I think this because of the building and the outfits they are wearing, also you can see the platform they jumped off and you can see that they are mid air. It also seems like an older picture because its in black and white and the outfits they are wearing, we don't wear this in today's time.
Overall, this picture features men falling off a platform. Mainly, the photo shows a black and white perspective of grown men jumping off a platform in the upper left corner. They could be prisoners trying to escape. All of the men have a striped shirt on. This is attire commonly worn by prisoners in jail. Also, the ground is not shown. They are jumping among big, fluffy clouds. Due to this, it is a long way to the ground. It is possible that they are stunt doubles. Their outfits could be bathing suits from the 1950s era. They are clustered in two separate groups. One just jumped while the other is about mid-frame. It could be a circus act since they are attempting graceful motions in the air. I wonder, why did they jump? What thoughts cross their mind as they leap through the air? Are they nervous or scared? Do they do this often?
I see a group of 6 people jumping off of something that looks like a diving platform. They all have different kind of falling poses, but from looking at the left most two and then the bottom right most two, I think maybe they're doing a "gainer", or a backwards flip while running forward. They also seem to be wearing some kind of outfit, two of them wearing stripes like pirates or carnies. The others looks like they're wearing... tribal clothing? The third one from the left looks like he's wearing a fur shoulder pad. There's also something at the bottom, some kind of structure, and there's a curtain with a fancy outline. I'm not really sure what to make of this picture, it's very strange and random.
We can infer these men are in some kind of high dive competition and they are diving into a pool or onto a trampoline.
I agree with @Miss Hammell's 8th grade ELA Class because they do look like they are about to jump in a pool.
What I think is going on in this picture is that this is a circus show and the 6 men jumping off the platform are jumping into a small pool of water or maybe onto a trampoline. Why I think they are part of a circus is because of their outfits. Why I also think this is because of the scenery.
I believe that this picture is showing us a scene where a group circus people are diving from a platform or they are doing some kind of practice for a show. The things that make me say that first of all is the platform of a swimming pool, another thing that supports my claim is that they are all using a bathing suit but it is a different design of bathing suit. Another piece of evidence that makes me think that it is kind of a circus is the fact that there are pictures curtains on the background. Another thing that I notice is that normally there would be person talking turns to jump, and it is usually one person, so the fact that there are more than 3 people jumping at the same time probably means they are professionals.
@Sofia I kinda agree because from the way the photo kinda looks like it could be from somebody in a circus
In this picture, I observed that there are 6 men jumping out of a diving board, these men look like if they are wearing pajamas. I can see that they are in a really high place and I predict that there are jumping into a pool at a circus and they all need to wear the same clothing for the show. I think that this is in a circus because we can see that there is a building below that has really different designs that look like windows, these designs remind me of a circus. I also see that the building has a circular kind of shape so I believe that it is truly a circus. I wonder what type of show are these guys practicing for and where in the world is this?
i think that this picture is about six men diving from a platform to a pool. I think that it is a very old picture because of their outfits. I think that it is an old picture because it is black and white, because of their outfits and because of the buildings on the back. On further observation, I think that they could also be practicing for a circus because of the building in the back and their swimsuits.
I believe that the people in this picture are in a circus. I think this because they are doing flips and turns at the same time and that is dangerous. If you are not a trained professional you shouldn’t do it. They are using different swimsuits but like every two people have the same one as they are uniforms for a performance. There is a girl which makes me think that maybe it was not so long ago because the woman is not necessarily in their homes but diving/working. I wonder if the person with the braids doing the backflip is actually a woman?
@Ana Pau where do you see the girl?
jumping to their death
@david A that is a little extreme.
@david A I disagree with you because I think that they wouldn't put a picture of people dying.
@david don't agree because why would a person take a person take a picture of people falling to their death and posting it online plus that's illegal
I think that this is a very old picture in which some teenagers are jumping out of a diving platform into a pool. I think this due to the fact, Because teenagers are wearing very old swimsuits, I also notice that the walls in the background have like an old look. I notice that the people that are jumping into the swimming pools are like grown ups.
I think that six acrobats are jumping from something that looks like a diving board, and they are doing a circus act. The men are dressed in unusual clothing, the setting is on a stage with balconies painted on it, and the men are doing flips in the air. I also notice that the picture is in black and white and the outfits look old, or old fashioned. There is not much else to observe, as the rest is just sky.
I think that the boys are part of a circus or show. They are diving on to a pool. I believe this because I think that they are wearing old swimsuits. The picture also looks very old so it makes sense that they are using old swimsuits. I believe that they are part of a circus or show because I can see that there is a stage on the back. I also see that on the sides of the stage there are red curtains painted on the walls. Another reason why I think they are part of a circus is that there are multiple divers jumping at once, so it couldn’t be a competition. One question that I have is why are they jumping all at once. I think that this is dangerous. I also want to know if the people jumping are boys or men since it is not clear from the image.
people jumping off a cliff and wanting to die, but I also have a feeling that there is a pool, and they are trying to not die while jumping in it. but those are just2 of my theories.
diving
they are going to dive
I think it looks like a family jumping from a diving board into some kind of swimming pool. I also think that it looks like a group from a circus performing some kind of trick since all of the people in mid air are wearing stripes, and also because the building in the background looks like its circus realated because of the design.
Kailey - I think they jumped off the slide thingy. There is either a big trampoline or a pool. I think they are kids. They are at an abandoned pool.
Yaomy - I think they're people from the circus. They look like they are wearing clothes from the circus. They are jumping to the water.
Paige - I think they're jumping off a platform, to jump on a giant trampoline. I noticed they are not wearing any shoes. The first three falling look like kids and the last three look like adults. It looks like a girl is doing a back flip. I notice the wall looks like a circus.
I think that in this picture some performers are diving into a pool as part of their performance. This is because they look like they are making intentional poses and movements while diving and I also think this because of the background of the image because it looks like a stage setting. I also observed that some of them are dressed the same way and this is probably their costumes.
This picture looks extremely out of the ordinary. But to me it looks like there are three prisoners trying to escape out of prison while three guards are chasing them and they are right on their tail. However, the prisoners and the guards do not see the end of the walkway and the start to fall while tumbling in circles. I think that the front three people are prisoners because their clothes look to have white and black stripes which are colors worn by a lot of prisons. I also think that the three people in the back are prisoners due to the fact that the guy up front looks to be angry and ready to fight someone. He does not even care that he is falling from a ledge he just wants to get the prisoners. This is a very strange picture but this is what I think is going on in it.
There are three guys jumping out of like a pool trampoline which makes me guess they are jumping into a pool. But all six are wearing clothes and three of them and based on what I can see, 2 of them are wearing stripes. It looks like if it was a diving contest and the picture seems kind of old.
Thanks everyone for your careful looking and evidence-based interpretations this morning!
So many of you had questions about this image (@Evan M. wonders if this was from the set of a film, and if so, what the movie was called or if it ever came out?). Some of you came up with multiple interpretations for what might be going on (@Justin thinks they could be escaping someone, or in a circus, or even flying).
I am signing off for now, but keep looking at the image to build on each others’ ideas. Check back in on Thursday of this week to read the caption that originally accompanied this image. Once you read it, keep asking yourself - what more can we find? And once you read the caption, see if that extra information changed your interpretation of the image.
Thank you again for all your observations, comments, questions, wonderings, agreements, disagreements, and ideas this morning! We can’t wait to see you back again here next Monday for another “What’s Going On in This Picture?”.
In this picture there is a group of men jumping off something, they are wearing what looks like pajamas, I think this happened a long time ago because of the quality. I think they are maybe part of a play since in the back you can see a building that has decorations that look like they would be part of a play. It also looks like they are laughing which makes me think that they jumped off the platform intentionally to do pirouettes or a certain type of show.
It looks like the people in the picture are skydiving. Most of the people have something on their backs. It”s most likely a parachute. None of the men are wearing helmets so they’re probably dropping from a lower height, or there were none available.
In this picture, they are 6 guys jumping into a pool they seem to be in a concentration camp. I can tell these guys are jumping into a concentration camp pool since the 6 of them are wearing striped pyjamas, also I can tell they are jumping into a pool since you can tell they are jumping from a kind of trampoline and I can tell is a pyjama since it has stripes all over the cloth. In this picture I also noticed is black and white and my main question is why?
I looks like a old picture from a diving contest or a circus after what I can see on the building in the background. it makes me say that because of the suit they have on. I looks to me that they have some diving boards
It looks like a group a guys escaped from a jail or prison and their jumping off like a building.They are also wearing a jumpsuit that is similar to what they were in prison so i assume their escaping.
They look like there jumping off a ledge trying to escaped from somewhere like jail.
