I think there is a forest fire in this photo. The sky is orange because of the fire, and you can also see smoke in the background. The man in the photo owns the house in the back. He has alpacas in his garden. Normally the alpacas have a lot of space to walk around. Because of the forest fire, you can see that they have been put in a small cage. The owner did this so that the alpacas stay away from the forest fire. If the forest fire approaches and he has to evacuate with his alpacas, they are all together and he can quickly take them with him to leave the scene and go to a safe place. The man seems to be sad and hopes that things will turn out well and his alpacas will stay alive.
Alma (14 y.o.): I think there is a bushfire in Australia or a forest fire in the U.S.A.The man is saving the llamas from the bushfire or forest fire. I see smoke from a forest, fire in the background, and I see dry grass. It looks hot and the sky is orange. I can also see a house and a four-wheel drive car. The llamas are on the farm and the house looks big.
Charlotte (14 y.o.): I think the man sheared the llamas for their wool because I see a man and many llamas that look naked.
I also think there is a sandstorm because the sky looks very weird. It is orange, red, yellow, and a little blue.
Matthieu (14 y.o.): I think there is a forest fire in the background because there is some orange smoke in the sky and dry grass. The man is spraying his llamas with water to cool them down.
Simon (8 y.o.): i think this is a farm because i see plants, llamas, and grass. i think there is a sunset because i can see the sky is orange and red. I also see a jeep, a mountain, a fence, a farmer, and a house.
It looks like the boy is a fireman, he is saving the aplacas from the fire, because there is a very big fire.
Possibily the animals are in farm, I think in Peru because is the country of the alpacas.
It seems to be a fire across the field and there is alpactus and they might need to evacuate to safety so it looks to be there was a big fire and it made the sye look orange.
The outside looks like a tree but on the inside there was a house with three people living inside.The stairs go around the house all crazy made out of wood but in the middle it had stone.The house had four windows around the house.There was an porch light on the bottom it had what looked like fake roots.The inside had wooden floors, and a hallway leading to the bedrooms. There was 2 bedrooms one bed looked squished in the corner while the other two beds looked just fine and i each room they had one window.
I think the guy saved the animals from a wild fire and is taking care of them so they don't die from the wild fire.
i think that guy saved the animals from a wild fire and is taking car of them
it looks like the guy is taking care of the lamas cause they are surrounded by the fence and he lives around the farm cause a lot of space around.
This picture is set in Australia, evidenced by the car in the background and the smoke from the mountains. I remember back in Jan the wildfires in Australia were happening. A man/woman is holding a hose spraying the llamas with water to keep them cool because the fires are extremely hot. The man/woman is wearing a mask to keep the smokey air out of their lungs.
Savannah says: This looks like a farm with baby llamas. The man or woman is holding a hose and watering the grass. She is wearing a mask because he/she might be sick and doesn't want to get the llamas sick. There is smoke in the mountains. It might be from a fire, pollution or a building that exploded.
I can see smoke and light in the background, and the farmer standing behind the sheared alpacas is wearing a mask, so I believe there might be fire burning on that area, and I think the picture is probably taken in Australia, which suffered from fierce fire for months. The farmer is holding a hose to clean the animals or to cool them down. There's a modern-looking house and a white jeep on the back, which may be the farmer's possession. I think the farmer is trying to keep the alpacas from the fire by fencing them together, or thinking about some ways to make them leave the area so they can be safe. Since these animals might be the farmer's economic source, it mist be pretty important to keep them in sight and make sure they aren't hurt.
In this picture I see a man has a stick with his hand ,And he is looking at his animals when they are in their house and he has six white lamas and five black lamas and one lama black and whit.
I see a man probably from Australia trying to save his Alpacas from the fire.
I see a sand storm approaching their is a man holding a garden hose and wearing a mask.
@JohnathanR I see what you are saying but I disagree. I disagree because it looks like there is a fire probably in Australia. And the Farmer is trying to save his alpacas. But if you look closer at the car in background I’ve seen a lot of Austrailians ride in a car like it. There is also a fire in the background. He looks like a farmer. There are Alpacas he is trying to save.
This picture looks as though it was taken during sundown. It also looks like the man in the picture is watching the llamas maybe for a friend or maybe the llamas are his. The picture does also look a little bit dusty. I think that this picture looks dusty because it looks like it hasn't rained in a long time. I also noticed that he has a modern home and car.
The picture looks like it was taken maybe like in the evening and the sun setting ( the sun never sets on the British empire) the llama's are cute though, the background also looks like there is a wildfire going on, the lady/man in the background is trying to give the baby llama's food and water to survive to become fire, the last thing I want to say about this picture is that Save Nature.
The house in the image looks like a newer house and it looks as if there either is a filter on the image or there is a tornado coming. Sometimes where the sun is it can change the color of the sky before a tornado. Usually before a tornado the sky is a yellowish greenish color but depending on the suns position in the sky it can change. The animals in the pen are either alpacas or llamas. Based on the image I have been led to believe that this is a farmer taking care of these alpacas/llamas.
I see a man on an elevated ground (a hill), looking over a pen of alpacas. He’s holding a water hose, so maybe he’s going to give the alpacas something to drink or bathe them. I’m assuming the house in the back and the car are also his. I think this man is a farmer who takes care of alpacas.
In this image I see many llamas and Alpacas in a pen that had their fur cut shorter. There is a person behind a short rock wall and seems to be holding something, behind the person there is also smething that looks like a fire in the background. I think the person is bringing a hose towards the llamas and alpacas to keep rise them incase they get catch on fire during the wildfire. I also think that this person owns these llamas and alpacas or helped them find shelter to protect them from the fire that is happening. I think the person keeping the llamas and alpacas safe lives there because there is a house in the background and a car. I think the location of this place might be in australia or california because of how much forest fires they get.
Team 6A Dunkirk Middle School
In this image I see many either llamas or alpacas, I can also see that there is someone holding what looks like a hose, so maybe these are his pets? One more thing I can see in this picture is that there is a house and a car in the background so maybe this is where the person lives that owns them?
there are a bunch of lamas i a pen there is what looks to be an old person watching them it looks like is going to be some kind of storm
in this picture I see many llamas in a pen and the farmer has just put them there so they don't get hurt because of the wildfires in Australia or in California.
In this picture, I can see an alpaca farm. In the distance, I can see what seems to be a sandstorm. A guy is walking to the animals to help then prepare for the storm by hosing them down.
In this picture I see an alpaca farm where the owner is trying to get the animals inside the shed so that they can stay safe so that they don't get injured in the storm that is on its way in the background. He is hosing them down to protect them.

This picture is very familiar to me because California has suffered from many wildfires in the past years. I believe this picture is about a fire also maybe the ones that are going around in Australia. I can tell by the ashy clouds gathering in the background and the mask on the woman's face.
I think in this picture the woman is in the midst of a wildfire in Australia because of the red and orange background. She lives in a more modern house somewhere in the mountains and she is spraying her alpacas with water so that they don't get burnt. This is probably not a farm because the house is modern and it is in the mountains. This is image has a very gloomy mood because of the color and the background.
I’m Australia, a jeep safari informing visitors/ tourists about alpacas as This appears to be an alpaca farm as they are surrounded by barbed wire and the woman appears to be a farmer and tour guide as she is holding a stick and the jeep appears to have many bags in the back. The dry yet versatile climate (the arid ground yer variety of vegetation in the left corner) appears to be similar to that of Australia.
How wildfires are affecting our lives.
I think that this is an image of a farm in California during the wildfires. There are alpacas in a fenced area at a house with a person standing watching them. There is also a car in the background and it is foggy and orange looking.
I wonder what is going to happen to the alpacas if the fire spreads to them. I wonder if this is during the day or the evening because it is hard to tell. I wonder what that person is holding.
@Sammi I also thought it was about the wildfires that happened in California but I believe that this image is form the wildfires in Australia.
What is going on in this picture?
I think the most noticeable thing here is the orange and yellow sky, which makes me think that the picture was taken in Australia amidst the fires. Then I noticed the man or woman hosing down their llamas that are kept together in a pen, which I think is a good idea because you don't want them to get separated or lost in the fires. The water being sprayed on the llamas is a good way to keep them cool, because I'm sure the air is really hot and dry there right now.
What is going on in this picture? I see mostly yellow, in spite of the presence of sprinkler on the ground, and sheared grass. The big one-stored house, which is with the open terrace, big windows and shades, has much air inside and protects from the sun and gives coolness. So it says about heat weather. And I think, it’s Australia or maybe Africa. I think it is the Australian continent because there was much news about the total fire and on the backside of the picture it is shown orange light of sky and clouds and black clouds of smoke. On the foreground, I see llamas inside the wired fence. Llamas are sheared because their hair has smooth stripes. Near llamas, a man is standing and showering them by water from the showerhead. I suppose it is a woman because she has not broad shoulders and her full body more womanly. But it can be a man too. I think she (or he) is an owner of llamas and house. I don’t know why I think so. She (or he) is wearing a working shirt, pants, and boots.
Also, she is wearing a cap and a mask on the neck. In her pocket, something is sticking out like two green postal envelopes. At the background of the picture, I see also two cars without peoples. May be owners want to drive off from this house.
@Anasta I think that your analysis of this picture was very in-depth and thought out. I also think that you did a very good job of being descriptive in explaining what you see.
@Sammi Thank's for your comment. I read your version that it can be California and agree with it. And I think it's the evening because the light isn't bright, even soft
The person in the picture could be a man or a woman, and they are trying to give water to the llamas through the hose. They could also be trying to cool them off. I also think that the car in the background is owned by the woman / man. The overall color of the picture feels very warm and there is a lot of smoke in the back of the picture.
I see a man with something that looks like a hose in his hand standing on a stone wall. There is a pack of alpacas, some of them white and some black, surrounded by a fence of wire. I see a modern-looking house in the background with a jeep-looking car to the right of the house. In the deep background, the horizon looks very bright, with what looks like smoke polluting the air, possibly a wildfire. In what place is this picture being taken? What is the man doing in this picture? Does the picture have a filter or is this currently how the atmosphere looks? I think this is a picture of a man taking care of his alpacas, while there is a wildfire in the background. I think it is from the Australian wildfires.
@Nick P. You made really good observations about this picture and I agree with you that it was taken during the fires in Australia. I wonder if this man and his llamas are ok, and if they evacuated
There seems to be lots of smoke and maybe a wildfire in the background. I see a man spraying what I think is water on alpacas. I wonder if the smoke or the fire is more of a threat. I wonder where in the world this is. I think the author is trying to highlight the threat to animals or wildlife from wildfires. I’d infer that this is either in Australia or the Southwest United States. Caption: Wildfire makes the situation for wildlife dire.
I think these llamas were rescued from the fires that are in the background. This photo was likely taken in Australia where raging wildfires are engulfing millions of acres a day. The person in the picture is spraying the llamas with water. The llamas just got their hair shaved too. This was an effort to keep the cool.
We see lamas and a women in the background possibly going to feed, or give them medicine. The sky looks scary like there is a storm rolling in. Possible fire storm maybe.
@Caspers I agree with you because it seems as if a firestorm is approaching in that area due to the yellow and orange tones of the photograph. Because of the humid weather, the woman is probably watering the llamas so that they are not overheated once the storm arrives. Your thought process and reasoning show excellent evidence/signs of logos or logical appeal on how the firestorm might have caused the woman to protect the llamas.
I think that the haze is pollution and that this picture is attempting to bring notice to the native animals that live in the area. Possibly it could be alpacas that live in Australia and the colors behind them are the fires approaching.

@Paxton I agree that I think that this is in Australia and the farmer is tending to his land. I wonder what part of Australia his farm is and how far from the fires his farm is. I also wonder if the farmer is concerned about the fire and if he has to evacuate to safety.
@Paxton I completely agree with this intelligent observation. I thought the same things while observing this photograph. I do wonder why the person in the back is spraying the animals with a hose. Another reason I think the fire is approaching them is because there is no grass beneath their feet; probably because this person doesn't want the fire to spread to her animals through the grass.
I think that this is a photo from recent time. I see a herd of alpacas caged in with their leader or shepard, she seems to be a woman. with fog or smoke going off in the background. I also see a house in the distance before the house. I am curious as to where this photo was taken. Why does the landscape look like it’s on fire in the background. I wonder who these people are, what is their upbringing? Why do they have alpacas?
@Alex You bring up a lot of good questions. In my opinion I believe that this picture depicts Australia and their most recent fire crisis. I think this because in the back, the smoke covers most of the picture and other than California, I don't think there is a place as affected by fire at the moment. This picture aims to show that people truly are having their way of life disturbed amongst this terrible crisis.
In this picture there is a man and it looks like he is watering the grass for the llamas to eat.It also looks like the llamas are getting protected from a wildfire that is going on.
@Christina H Hey there! I agree with your idea about the wild fires happening in the background. I had a thinking that this could be in Australia because of the recent wildfires there and its heavy presents in the news.
@Emery Ya me too, I think the smoke is what is changing the color especially in the sky. I wonder is the man is trying to help the alpacas.
It seems to look like people are saving alpacas from a wildfire. Which in my opinion I think I is absolutely amazing, but on the other hand it is utterly heart-breaking that these majestic animals have to encounter something so horrible as wildfires. This picture really shows how we are really growing as a community to help protect not just us, but animals too.
@Preston Olinger
I agree I have not read the reveal yet but judging by the natural color in the picture, the smoke, and the tiny little fenced-in area that seems to be recently put up it looks like there was or is a forest fire going on.
@Preston Olinger, I see where you re coming from about them saving the alpacas. I also see that the animals look like they are shaved witch leads to me believe that they might not be saved from the fire but this is someone's farm.
I see the alpaca are being protected because of some sort of wildfire
@Dominick Grabert I agree with this. But, where do you think this photo was taken? what time of day was the photo taken? I also wonder who took this photo? This is an interesting image where there are so many guesses as to what could be going on.
@Dominick Grabert I agree with the idea he is trying to help his alpacas, but I don't think he really is and I do wonder where the wildfire is.
What time does the answer come out?
Thanks!
Hello @Mrs. F's 6th Grade, thank you for participating. We will be sharing more information about the photograph no later than 5 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. Please check back in later today!
It can’t be an old picture because the car and the house. In the back there looks like smoke so fire? And the lamas looks scared and there burn marks on them and the guy is putting water on them so they were on fire before. The guy is wearing a mask and the sky is orange so i think it’s Australia bush fire?
@Eden v This is exactly what I thought happened. I don't think they were burned though I think maybe its soot. I think the water is also there to feed the lamas.
We think that this picture takes place in Australia because of the fires that have been going on there. There is a lot of smoke and potentially fire in the background. It looks really hot and dry there. There is a tube of some sort that the man is holding, maybe he is trying to give the Llamas water. This is a farm for Llamas. The jeep might be there to get the man out safely. He also has a mask to protect his lungs.
@Mrs. Jones - 3rd Grade I agree with you that the picture takes place in Australia. I also did not notice the tube that the man was holding until you pointed it out. This would make sense considering that the picture looks very dry and hot with all of the smoke in the background. The llamas also look to be kind of nervous looking at their faces.
I See Alpaca's in Australia with a bush fire in the background.Alpaca's in Australia, are grown mainly for their fibre. The yellow sky is caused by the smoke. The farmer is watering his dry grass and the alpaca's to cool them down and to make sure the grass is wet to protect the alpacas and the house from the fire. The Landrover Defenders in the background are popular 4X4's in Australia.
@Robi Great observations, I entirely agree with you, especially about the farmer watering his grass and cooling the alpaca's down.
@Robi I agree with your observation. I noticed the Landrover in the back as well. That type of car is definitely popular in Australia so that was a big tell on the location. Since the fires in Australia have been a big part of 2020 so far that is what I thought of after I noticed that all of the smoke in the air. I didn't know much about alpacas, but since you said they are grown for their fibre that would explain why they have been shaved.
It’s can’t be old because the car and the house and in the looks like smoke so forest fire? The guy looks like he putting water on the lama the were once on fire because if you look closer you can see burn marks on their fur so i think it Australia bush fire because the sky i see in the news the sky is always orange Also the guy is wearing a mask
Llamas. They look sweet like they are almost smiling until they spit on you. Looks like a fire, possible sunset or even the apocalypse.
@Interagency Academy This is a good inference. Where do you think the photo was taken though? I believe that it looks like there is a wildfire which could cause this pollution in the air. I'm pretty sure that the animals are alpacas.
Based on this picture I can conclude that this man is a farmer and that he is watering grass for the llamas to eat. I can conclude this because the man has llamas, which is something farmers usually have, he is also holding a hose and seems to be watering the grass so that the llamas can eat. I also notice that there seems to be a fire in the background in the forest because there is a red glow on the horizon and lots of smoke around him. This leads me to believe a wildfire is taking place near this man. Based on all of this evidence collectively. I can conclude that this is a man who is feeding his llamas during a natural disaster.
@Sam M I never noticed that the man in the background was holding a hose, I only noticed that he was standing over the alpacas with a mask on. Personally, I think that the man is going to save his farm animals from an incoming fire. I can infer this because of the mask and reddish background. I wonder where and when this picture was taken?
@Sam M I agree. Since the fire may have caused the air to be very dry, so the farmer has to water the grass so that that alpacas or llamas have something to eat.
Our class thinks that they are about to water the grass so the alpacas can eat. At first, we thought it was in Kansas or the dessert. Then we thought it was in Australia or in California because of the wildfires and bushfires which make it orange. The person is wearing a gas mask to keep out the smoke, so he doesn't suffocate and die.
@LKMS Cougars Hi I completely agree with your response. Although I do agree that she is about to water the grass for the alpacas these alpacas look like they are in bad shape almost being stuck in the fire. This would also explain the llamas being confined to such a small area.
We believe that the man is bathing the llamas because he has a hose in his hand. Do you think he has no face? Well, he does; he is just wearing a mask.
We also think that the place is a llama farm in Australia. Plus, maybe the man lives in that house in the back of the picture. Also, the time looks like 6:47 on sunset because there is light in the back.
Our theory is that this is a Llama farm,and the person in this picture is taking care of the Llama's. Our evidence is their is a lot of Llama's in the picture and because that's the only person in this picture, while the picture is full of Llama's.
Our other theory is that the person in this picture came to save Llama's from a fire. We think this because the background is red or orange. And also because the Llama's are huddled together.
We think it is somewhere in Mexico. Some proof that there is like a lot of Llama's in Mexico. We also think it's in Mexico because the ground is like country looking and it kinda looks Mexico would be that way. We think it's taken in 2019 because the picture has colors, and the picture is detailed.
I think its a farmer because it seems like he owns a animal farm and that van is his. The building in the back is his home or barn house for the animals, I think this because in the picture he is the only one, so that meant that he sold llamas for money and i believe that, that shed at the back is the barn house because its the only building in this picture other then the fence for the animals!
@yasmine & norager I agree with you that this is most likely an alpaca* farm, where the farmer looks to be taking care of them. Although I agree with that, you neglect to mention the background sky into your description. As you can see, it looks as if there is a fire in the background, hints the mask the farmer is wearing. The farmer is most likely trying to keep the water wet so the fire doesn't affect the alpacas.
I see a mask on the person and smoke in the background, so I assume this is the fire in Australia. I wonder how the llamas will survive without grazing land.
Our theory is that the man is on a farm and found llamas and kept them to eat the llamas. One piece of evidence is that there is a fence or wall and most farms have fences to keep animals from escaping. Another piece of evidence is that the building is maybe the man's house and has weapons to kill the llamas.
Maybe that's why he has llamas. Also, another piece of evidence is that it looks like the wilderness and llamas live in the wild so that means he got the llamas from the wild. Also, you can see that there is a jeep there and it looks like one of the jeeps that you take to the savanna or the wild.
We think that this is an alpaca farm that is in Australia. We notice there is a man there ,so it might be a farmer or he owns the alpaca farm. We believe that there is possibly a fire.
It's possible that this is an alpaca farm in Australia because we heard about the fires there and the sky is orange. Furthermore, it looks like he is looking at his alpacas for the last time because it is too dangerous there.
We believe that he might be the owner of this Alpaca farm because he is the only one there and the house in the background might be his. Additionally, it looks pretty small for a family home, so maybe it is only for one person.
Our theory is that this is a lama farm because there are a lot of lamas. We think the animals are lamas because they are like sheep with long necks. We also think it is a farm. We think this because the lamas are all in one spot.
We think the car is a jeep. We think this because it looks like the car from Jurassic Park. The car from Jurassic Park is a jeep.
The man could be the lama's owner because he is watching the lamas. He is also the only person there.
I think that person is gathering the llamas together and I believe the llamas are huddling together.I have come to believe that its later in the day because of the orange sunset.
I believe it is 2009 or later because in the of the white jeep in the background looks like a a wrangler jeep. I also think the location is the country side of L.A
@tamara and gabriel Hey! Great observations! What makes you believe that the orange background is a sunset, not a ravenous fire? I don't completely agree with that considering the smoke that is shown in the right corner. Also, I would classify the car as either an older jeep model or an old land rover model. If you thought that the location was in California, why did you assume that this depicts a sunset and not the infamous California wildfires?
Our theory is that the guy is in Australia and he's guiding the lamas because Australia has a lot of wild fires an he doesn't want them to catch on fire. Our evidence is that there's a big cloud that looks like smoke from a fire, an on the side it looks clear.
@Jovanni, Jessica It appears to be that the man has a hose and is soaking the lamas in water or cooling them off. How do you think the lamas will get out of the pasture with the large fence in the way? Do you think the house and car in the back suggest wealth?
We think that it is a llama farm because there is a stone barrier and has many llamas inside. We think that they are llamas because they have long necks and have a very fuzzy body. Another reason why we think it is a llama farm is because there is a man guarding it.
Another theory is that it might be in Australia because the sky is orange and there are fires in Australia around this time. One reason why we think this is because there is a man who probably saved all of the llamas from the fires. Another reason why is because one llama's fur seems black which possibly means that it burned in the fires. In addition, the building in the back round looks like a animal rescue station. Furthermore, there is a jeep in the back round which looks like it has a lot of room for animals.
Our theory is that it is a farm and the man is supposed to care fror them. Our evidence is that there is a barrier between the man and the animals. Additionally, there are a group of llamas in one area so we think it is a breeding ground.
We believe it is in the evening because the sky is orange so the sun is setting. It's in the 2000s because everything around the man is newer than you would see in the 1900s.
I think it is somewhere far far from the coast because the place looks dry like a desert. Also, cattle and other farm animals are usually raised in the countryside. We conlude that it is a farm in the countryside in the 2000s and the man is supposed to care for the llamas.
Burning Heat, Alpaca’s Bleat, No Grass to Eat
This image depicts a farm being threatened by an ominous looking wildfire. The entire photo has a tint of orange, because the wildfire is approaching the farm. The grass is most likely burnt (although it may just be coated in a layer of ash). Normally it would be green and healthy, which is evidenced by how there is still greenery in the back right of the picture. It also appears that the wildfire is close to the farm, because the woman holding the hose has a gas mask around her neck, which implies that the fire is close enough that it is affecting the air quality. The alpacas have been shaved, and are being hosed down by the woman so that they don’t overheat. Evidently, the wildfire is extremely hot and nearby, because the farmer fears that the Alpaca are not safe in the conditions of the wildfire. This picture is most likely taken in either Australia or California, because in those areas wildfires are rampant, and the media and others are attempting to reveal to the world the extent of the damage of the fires. Because the Australian wildfires have been more prevalent that California wildfires in the news recently, I assume that this image is taken in Australia.
This image is probably taken in Australia during the wildfires because we see a smoky sky with red and orange colors .The man appears to be hosing down the lamas, to cool them. He's trying to keep the animals safe in a fenced area. The man is wearing a mask to ensure he doesn't inhale harmful gases during the fire. The Lamas look scared and that's why they are kept together.
It seems he either rescued the lamas in his jeep or is going to take them to the nearest medical center.
This photo appears to be in Australia during the bushfires. I came to this conclusion by observing the orange glowing smoke in the air. I believe this is Australia because it is uncommon to find a house of this size and style in other regions of the world. As for the alpacas, the caretaker appears to be grouping them during the fires, so they have companions to keep them from becoming anxious.
@Zachary Q I completely agree with what you saw in the picture and the conclusions you made. I think most people would see the fire and think it's Australia; I like how you also talked about the house in addition to the fires.
@Zachary Q I agree that this is the Australia wildfires. I wonder if the farmer is going to evacuate to alpacas, or is he hosing them down to keep them wet in case of fire. As a photographer, I wonder how manipulated the photo is in the sence of editing, especially with the colors and how everything seems so orange. sense
We agree this takes place in Australia during the wild fires, because the sky is red and smoky. We think the llama's are in the pen to stay safe. The rescue worker is giving them water.
The Livestock Will Be Safe.
This image seems to have come from Australia. I noticed the raging fire and smoke sweeping the land coming right for the house. It is nice to see how concerned the man is for his alpacas, keeping them hydrated and damp as the smoke is everywhere. It is nice to know that people wouldn’t just leave their livestock and flee for safety. If this man was to go anywhere I believe those alpacas would be going with him.
This photo is taken in Australia in the middle of a wildfire. The llamas are hot from the fire, so the farmer or rescue worker is going to spray them with the hose. The vehicle is a Land Rover Defender, so we think it's probably a rescue worker. They may also shave the llamas to help save them from the heat and fire.
The group of animals seem to be in an uncomfortable situation. They look sick and I can't see very much, but it also seems like they dont have much room to move around. This could point to this picture being about animal cruelty, though that doesn't fully explain the smoke. The fact that it's so foggy in the background could mean that this picture is also about climate issues.
The Fire that Never Burns Out
In the “What’s Going on in this Picture?” January 27th, 2020 post, the first thing the viewer sees is a pack of llamas against a fence. As you look closer, the picture reveals that a woman with a bandana around her neck is holding a hose and is spraying the llamas with water. The llamas could be packed up against the fence because they are trying to avoid the water. When you look even closer, you see a mountain in the background behind the peak. Rising from this mountain are tremendous clouds of smoke. Are the llamas trying to get away from the fire? Is the woman carrying a bandana so she has something to help her from inhaling the smoke? I came to the conclusion that the photo was taken in California. Furthermore, the fire in the background is one of the deadly California wildfires. Also, the llamas running away from the fire is symbolic of the people who are fleeing their homes trying to escape the treacherous flames. Lastly, the glow of the fire gives the photo an apocalyptic feel as it looks like the fire is about to jump up from the background, engulfing everything in its way.
@Alec Bastone You are a good writer, nice job!
In my opinion, I see that there is a fire ablaze in the background of this sickly, depressed photograph. I notice that there is a human figure that resembles a farmer or breeder who is spraying a hose on malnourished and crowded llamas or alpacas who are overly crowded in a small pen on the side of a house. The fire in the back looks as if it is coming up closer to the house and maybe the farmer is trying to keep his animals safe by hosing the water into their pen.
@Summer Schultz
I thought it was exciting how you thought the smoke was because of a fire, and I didn't even think of that. Also knowing that the smoke might be because of a fire, I infer that the location is in Australia. But your point to where the smoke came from was really good.
Looking at this picture there seems to be a fire off in the distance most likely a forest fire. I say this because looking into the sky of the photo there seems to be smoke mixed with fiery looking colors. Looking more closely at this photo I notice the man is spraying water at his alpacas/llamas also they look freshly shaved this could indicate that the man is trying to cool his animals to help them calm down from the rise in heat.

The smoke seems to be a product of a wildfire.
The llamas appear to be malnourished or sickly. The standing male is spraying the pack with a hose. The background is filled with smoke and behind the smoke is greenery.
These clues direct me to the thought this is may be a warm climate...
@Micah L-B I strongly disagree with your findings. If this man left the "alpacas" to run in a large field, their safety would not be ensured. Yes, nobody wants to be in a little fence, but at the lives of the animals it is necessary. Plus, they were just shaved. Those are marks from the clippers not lines from being slim/starving.
I see someone with there farm animals a truck a house and a beautiful sky which it seems to be a fire or a aftermath fire but i really don't no
1. Their is a man holding a hose about to spray the Alpacas
2. because he has a hose in his hand and is about to spray it
3.their is a fire in the back and it looks like its been burning for days.
The llamas seem to be afraid of a fire in the background and are trying to move away from it as much as possible. The man or farmer looks like he's spraying either the llamas or the ground to keep the fire from spreading possibly.
i think she going wash the animals up inside the cage because she holding the water holes like she going wash something up in the pic and the background low key pretty
@Akira M. yes, I completely agree with your point saying that the person is trying to wash the animals inside of the pen, but have you ever thought that the person may be trying to protect his precious animals from the fire ablaze in the background?
@Akira M.
Think about what place in the world is experiencing bad wildfires right now. The colors in the back are really pretty yes, but their also wildfires. I agree that the person is going to wash the alpacas, that's a really good inference.
As im looking at this picture the background looks gloomy as if there was a fire that was recently put out. This picture has alpacas and an elderly man. He looks like he lives in a very modern home.
This photo has lots of details and elemnts resulting to a fire that is happening in the area.
@Katie I agree it dose look like a fire
What is going on in this picture?
- The man is cooling the alpacas down with a hose. They have been shaved to reduce heat build up because of an active fire or heat wave in the background.
What do you see that makes you say that?
- In the background, there is clearly a huge cloud of flames/smoke/heat wave. Closer to the right side of the photo there is a clearing of the smoke to help determine if it is actually smoke or not.
The man/woman is also hosing the group of alpacas because I can see a mist of water being sprayed at the alpacas and there is clearly a hose in his hand that is connected to the house behind him to the left.
What more can you find?
- I’ve looked at it closely one more time and it appears as if there are a couple of dark ashes flying around. This might indicate that the fire is moving closer to this area.
Another observation I’ve made is that the land that the house and the alpacas are on, has some to no greenery, but if you look to the right, in the background, there seems to be a forest full of greenery. The reason why the foreground landscape is so bare, is probably to prevent the fire from spreading in that particular area, so that the fire goes around the property.
The fire must’ve not been through this property yet because the house is clearly still in good shape and not burnt in any way.
@Melana I agree because there are clear signs that indicate that a fire is occurring and preventative measures are being taken to restrict the damage caused by the fire. It is an interesting point that the area surrounding the farm is bare in order to decrease the chances of the fire reaching the house and animals.
@Melana I didn't think about there being a fire moving towards the house at first when looking at this, but now I really do see that that could be happening in this picture. It just seems off because the animals and man look pretty calm and if there was a fire that close, I would think they would be freaking out and trying to get away.
In this photo it looks as though something has been burning for days or even weeks causing hazard conditions to breath. The animals look concerned of their environment. The man is hosing the area with water for the lamas to drink. Looks like its in Australia.
@OHS Group I agree I this the animals do look depressed with there environment with the hazardous fire coming at them. Also, you are very right I do believe it is australia@OHS Group I agree I this the animals do look depressed with there environment with the hazardous fire coming at them. Also, you are very right I do believe it is Australia.
In this photo I believe that man is watching his Alpacas because of the huge fire in the back. This place that the man is located might be in Australia.
I noticed about a dozen alpacas in a rural background. I could tell because there are trees and no other buildings except for the house. Also I noticed what looks like a fire because the sky looks smokey. Another inference I made was the photo might been taken in Australia.
It seems as though there is a fire taking place because of the smoke, maybe Australia. I feel like the person is watching his alpacas, based on the occurance of the fires. I notice the person is holding a hose and the alpacas are tightly enclosed within a fence, maybe their getting ready to evacuate.
The first thing our class noticed besides the Alpacas, was the hose in the farmer's hand. We noticed that the farmer is a female with a mask around her neck. We believe she is wearing this to protect her from the smoke. This may be in Australia or California because they often have wildfires. One of the Alpacas may be burned or it could be from shearing. The farmer is trying to cool them off and is fencing them in to keep them from running away. It looks like the Alpacas are not in any immediate danger, and we hope they are alright.

It looks like a fire and the man is trying to protect his alpacas by shaving them so that they wont have heat strokes. Also it seems that he is holding a hose to cool them down.
@wah i agree because its shown in the picture
From this image I can infer that the man or woman is a breeder because they have a group of alpacas in a caged setting and the alpacas have their fur shaved.
that man kidnapped those poor lamas who knows what his next move is
i think this picture show the men try to protect from the fire. he using the hose slow down the fire and this is take place in Australia.
I think this has to be Australia because of the Australian wild fires. It seems like the man is protecting his alpaca's with the hose. The alpacas seem calm so i don't think there is to much danger.
It looks like the man is trying to protect his alpacas from the fire. He's using a hose to slow down the fire. This may be taking place in Australia because they are having unfortunate fires right now. Since he looks calm, it doesn't appear that the fire is right next to him. Instead it's farther away and he's getting ready to evacuate if need be.
@Julie's group Yes, i commentated the same but just added that he shaved his alpacas.
@Julie's group I agree, he also shaved his alpaca to make it harder for them to catch on fire.
What I think is happening in the image is that it takes place in Australia because recently there's been a lot of fires occurring lately and you could see the fire from behind. In the image, you could see that there are some alpacas all gathered up because I think the person is trying to save them because there is a fire from behind and the alpacas look if they were burned from a fire. You could also see that the person has a water hose probably to fresh and cold down the alpacas.

@Ashley It is absolutely true the vision you have about the image, since I had not noticed everything you tell about the image
@Ashley It is true what you are saying makes a lot of sense and it is just what I can appreciate in the image, it seems to me that you did a good job.
I think whats going on in the picture s that theres a fair in that place. We peope are trying to cut the fair off and they so some animals . Also the mn is trying to put water on them maybe because they to hot and it hurt there skin. I think is that because you could see the men have a waterhole in his hand . I know its a fair becaus in the bckground you could see like the color of the fair.
@Belinda I don't necessarily think it's a fair, since the fair has games, lights and the image only shows animals and a forest catching fire
@Belinda I felt confused because I couldn't understand what your reasons were. I don't think it's a fair, in my opinion it is a fire at a farm.
What i think i see is llamas in a cage .Also there is a man with water holes and i guess he has them because there is a lot of smoke in the back ground.I also see a jeep in the back as well
@kobe It's okay what you just say is not a man is a woman out of all that very well.
What I think is going on is that the alpacas are bring feed to get them distracted from the fire. Also they put them there so that they could eat and they can take care of the fire behind them
I think that there was a fire burning in the other side and that the man saved his animals from dying
I think that there was a fire or there is a fire going on and that the owner of the Alpacas shaved their wool so that if the fire got near it they wouldn't catch on fire so easily and so as wetting them because the owner has the hose so i guess he or her wet the Alpacas.

@Maria I strongly agree to what you had in mind about this. I thought something very similar to what you thought about this but when I saw the “ Alpacas “ I thought they were llamas.
@Maria I like that you mentioned he would shave his alpacas, that's a good point considering he is holding a hose and the sky has a eerie color to it
My interpretation is that the female farmer is spraying the alpacas with cold water so that they do not have heat strokes and have a fatal aftermath. I infer this because of all the smoke that coming from the background even all the smoke that's around the alpacas and the female farmer has a hose and is spraying the group of alpacas.
A brief observation of this image has given me the idea that a "farmer" is Spraying down a pack of shaved alpaca with a hose, possibly to prevent the alpaca from heat exhaustion due to the possible fire behind the hill. I've also noticed that the "farmer" has a mask of sorts hung around their neck, though i don't know the reasoning behind this. Maybe there embers and ashes being scattered by the wind generated by the fire. That's just my guess.
In this photo I can infer that it takes place in Australia because, of the devastating fires that are happening and the abundance of smoke in the background. While this fire is spreading this man in the photo is seems to be using some sort of tool such as a hose with cold water to keep the alpacas from getting heat stroke from the fire. Not only that, it appears that the alpacas have been shaved of all their wool to cool them off even further.
@Jordan I strongly agree to what you think about his picture. However, when I saw the person I thought that it was a woman rather than a man.
what i think is going on in the picture is that the owner of the Alpaca is trying to gather them together and feed them . I say that because it looks like they are all in the same corner and it looks like the owner has something in his/her hand .
@Michael M I agree with you. I also think that the person is trying to take care of his/her alpacas but I would add that there is a lot of smoke and dense fog in the background and because it appears reddish orange, I would assume this picture was taken during the on going wildfires in Australia.
Kind regards!
I think there is a fire going on behind the hill so the man is either cooling down or washing the alpacas. the reason i think this is because of the black smoke and the orange tint in the background and the man is holding a water hose and he is spraying the alpacas.
@Bluguerin Martinez I agree with you. I think this was taken on Australia and the framer is trying to take care of his/ her alpacas.
i see a lot of dark smoke that tells me that theres a forest fire and it makes me think that its Australia, i see alpaca's gather around in a pack because they are worried and scared because they are restricted from fleeing due to the fence.
In this picture I think that there's some fog and the sun is coming up. And I think that the man just shaved the alpaca and are going to give them a bath because he has a hose and the alpaca are backing up because they may not know that man.
@Allie That is an interesting idea and I agree that the man might want to give the alpacas a bath or just give them some water. However I think that the background is not fog. From what it looks like it might be smoke from a bushfire because it’s not only orange but also gray and brown. The whole bushfire might also be the reason why the alpacas are standing so close to each other in one spot. They look scared.
I think the Alpaca's are being protected by some people. Its because of the wild fire in Australia that is currently happening . I hope they are safe . I think they are so squished together because the people might not have enough room. I think he is wearing a mask so the smoke does not get in his lungs ,he might be spraying some thing
@Laney i agree because i see the air is not clean and it could be toxic for humans if they breath it in and thats why the guy has a face mask.
I think they are in Australia because it looks like there is a big fire.
The alpacas are in a fence so they don't run away. The man is looking after the alpacas.There is a lot of smoke in the background.
I think that the picture shows the wild fire in Australia and a man or woman caring for some Alpacas you can see he/she may be spraying the Alpacas to keep them cool or he/she may be spraying the fire he/she is also wearing a mask to protect him or her from all the smoke.
@Bryleigh
I agree I think it does take place in Australia because of the potential smoke and fire in the background. I would also like to add that the Alpacas look like they are shaved to possibly help them keep cool? I actually didn't notice the hose at first, so thank you for pointing that out.
The Alpacas are well groomed, I can tell this by the clear lines on the sides on the alpacas. You also can see a near by fire.
What I see in this picture I would say it is a fire in Australia the reason I say Australia is because there have been resent fires and the car in the background does not look like a car in America.
@Nate I agree that it looks like there is a fire approaching, but it could be somewhere else. I do think that it is most likely that this picture is showcasing the recent Australia bushfires, but it could always be somewhere else. It looks like the alpaca farmer is trying to spray them with a hose to save them. I don't remember ever seeing a car like in the picture, but it could very well be in the US.
I think that in this photo is taken somewhere in Australia. My reason being is because in the background you can see from the orange-ness of the sky there is also gray as if smoke where to be coming from a fire. But at the same time it could just be at dusk at simply at an Alpaca farm and they have been shaven for their wool .
@Reaunna i agree with you about there being a fire in the background i think he/she is cooling down the alpacas.
i think this picture takes place in Australia because of all the smoke in the background and she has a mask for the smoke
I think this is a photo of a man leaving his home and/or ranch because the scene is very gloomy, the man seems sorrowful, and the jeep seems to be loaded with stuff.
I think the lamas were being held away from a fire so they so get hurt
1
There are many lamas close up to fence and they are skinny and small so i think that this is in australia and these lamas were rescued
The scene might take place in a desert or near a forest. In the foreground, we can see llamas, black and white llamsas, in an enclosure. Behind them, in the background, a man is standing next to a house, probably his. He is wearind a cap, a mask and he is looking at the animals. Maybe he wants to protect them because the sky is yellow and there is a lot of smoke. Something must be burning. The scenery is beautifuL This photo might have been taken in Australia because the forest in the background must be on fire.
It looks like the lady in the photo is washing and cooling off the llamas. The sky looks like its setting; almost night time
In this picture we see smoke in the background. The red glow indicates it is a fire rather than a storm. We suspect it is somewhere in Australia given its recent news about wildfires. We also noticed the new jeep in the background so we assume this photo was taken recently. In addition, the Alpacas pictured look like they were recently sheared. You can see the lines from the shearing. We suspect the owner may have done so recently due to the heat. We also noticed the person in the background holding a hose. She is probably watering down the Alpacas to cool them off from the heat. She doesn't appear frightened or in a rush so they must not be in immediate danger. Finally the makeshift wire fence looks like it was placed there to prevent the Alpacas from running off.
In this picture it looks as if the woman with the alpacas has just finished sheering them and is rinsing them off. I believe because of the color of the sky that ash from a wildfire was the reason for her having to sheer and rinse them. You can see the smoke off to the side
I think this is a picture of Australia, and the color of the sky looks like a forest fire approaching. The woman had a water pipe in her hand and a grim expression on her face.The alpacas are concentrated in a small space, many of them looking in the same direction in horror, which I think is where the fire is coming from.
I think this photo was taken after a fire in Australia. The fire caused a lot of pollution in the sky and a hot climate. So the picture shows that many alpacas have no food because of weather problems.
@Kris I agree with your comment. The pollution has made Australia's beautiful sky look so overwhelming to look at.
I think it's in Australia because of the background, the fire are terrible right now there even if the fires are controlled. We can see a man spraying water on his llamas to cool them down.
it happened in Australia. The farmer build a iron fence for his sheep, some sheep may died before. His farm was burnt some days ago because of fire.
The farmer just chean up his car and would want to give the llama water. Probably it would happened in Australia, because the weather look so bad and there are suffer from a terrible firework
I think it was a fire in Australia.These camels are protected by breeders.
@Yige Jin I think they are llamas... not camels.
The person on the wall may give some water to llamas.
Those llamas are isolated by ironnet. it is too hot or too dangerour to out possibly.
I think that the setting is in California or Australia because it looks like there is a wildfire in the background and the person has a mask. I think that the person is trying to take care of the llama because their owner left them.
They are in Australia. I think that they are raising a llama farm but there is a wildfire behind. She is trying to protect them
Kailey - It looks like the woods are on fire. It looks like fire and fog coming out from behind the house. The man is probably going to save the Alpaca's because of the fire behind his house and the fog is not healthy. They are in California where all the forest fires are. He is probably trying to not breath it because he has a scarf around his neck. He also has a hose to try to putting out the fire or water the Alpaca's.
Mrs. Barrett - It looks like an Alpaca farm that is probably in California. The picture was probably taken during one of the major fires that happen there. He is using his hose to wet down everything so that it doesn't catch on fire.
We have a few ideas about what is going on in this picture:
-This takes place in Africa because it is dry and also the jeep in the background. It is a llama farm. The llama farmer is looking at his llamas.
-Morning time in Texas. I see a white jeep and a framer. Checking on his llamas to make sure they are ok.
-A farmer feeding his llamas. I see a nice house. The farmer is going on vacation because he is walking away from his house.
-I see smoke-maybe there is a muck fire. The man is going to kill the llamas because they are in a cage.
I see in the image a house in a field, in that place there are flames in a corral, there is a woman and behind the landscape it is cloudy on one side it is red and on the other it is gray blue seems to be a fire
I see person in the middle of the field with a hose in his hand, I also see the animals in the corral
I see earth, grass, trees, stones, wall and windows.
@Kassandra I agree with your statement, I believe that it looks cloudy and red because of a current wildfire. I think with all the details it must be Australia and also the ground is a different color than here in the U.S.
I Think that there was a fire and the elder woman had brought the llamas to a safe place. She probably rescued the llamas out of a farm that was burning and she was wetting them with a water hose because they were on fire. Them being on fire was a reason for the llamas too look like their hair was chopped off because their hair got burned in the fire.
@Maria I agree that the llamas may have been rescued from a fire. They seem to be in a makeshift shelter that had to be put up last minutes. Additionally, they all appear to be adolescent so they had nowhere to go. I wonder what the people will do with the llamas if the fire keeps spreading.
The woman will clean the corral of the flames. I see a person in the middle of the field with a hose in his hand, I also see the animals in the corral, I see a car and a house. I see the ground I look a little smoke and I see a wall of stones, I also see a bush.
In this photo, there is a wildfire in the background, probably the one in Australia. It seems the man went to go check on his animals to assure that they are safe. I believe this due to the smoke in the background.
I think this picture was taken during a wildfire because of the colors in the background and the apparent smoke behind the house. I see a woman in a flannel shirt, holding a hose, which might signify that she is trying to keep the animals safe and hydrated from the wildfire. The animals appear very scared, they have their tails between their legs which also suggests a dangerous situation, like a wildfire.
There is a woman with a hose. There are llamas in a cage getting wet cause the woman. There is smoke in the background and the sky is yellow. The llamas are looking around. I think that there is a wildfire near the woman and the llamas and the woman is watering the llamas to make them feel cool. This looks like it would be in Australia and that there is a wildfire near this woman's home.
In this picture I see an aged woman watching over a group of alpacas. In the background I see a house and what seems to be a Jeep. My thought are that this image is taking place in a hot area or desert.
In this image I see an aged woman with a mask on watching over a group of alpacas. I think that the woman is caring for the animals. In the background I see a house and what seems to be a Jeep. My thoughts are that this is taking place in the middle of some type of desert or hot area.
The women seems to be looking at the llamas most likely feeding them or taking care of them. There looks like lots of smoke in the background possibly meaning there's a large fire nearby or it could just be a cloud. The llamas look to be all grouped in the corner for probably because they may be scared or something like that.
@Brian Hey I agree with you. I like how you are not going straight to conclusion to the picture being taken in Australia. I like how much description you use.
I feel as if the picture has a connection to the tragic wildfires in Australia. The Orange sky contrasted to the more blue sky in the right part of the picture confirms that for me. The alpacas have their ears back along with their tails between their legs; therefore, they are confused or frightened by something. I see the person in the picture carrying a hose and spraying the llamas, most likely trying to cool them down. The house looks more modern and made for a warmer climate. A lot of the things in this picture make me believe that they are connected to the wildfires.
I think this image is representing a sunrise and how the farmer tends to his animals before the day begins. It shows her spraying them with water and he may be giving them food. The animals are in a enclosed area so that they can get provided with everything they need before they are turned free to roam. This may be located in a slightly desert area but modern looking because of the house and the car.
I think the picture was taken in Australia during bushfire season. I think it is in Australia because the architecture of the house is definitely not American but also not really European. Also there aren’t many of those big fires in Europe. The woman standing in the background looks rather Asian or Australian that European. Her car reminds me of stereotypical safari vehicle in Africa. And the sky definitely looks like there’s a huge fire burning somewhere in the background.
I believe the picture takes place in Australia because of the fires that had occurred earlier in the year and the background gives it away to, with all the smoke the sky. I can also see that the ground is a different color than here in the U.S. The alpacas seem like they’ve gotten burned and the woman with the water hose is helping them.
This photo is of a farmer tending to his alpacas during a wildfire. It seems as thought the fire is getting closer, and the alpacas have their ears down; indicating that they are in danger. The man also has a mask around his neck, which he might be using to cover his face from the smoke. The scene seems to be at a high elevation, with a ranch house and wrangler in the back. The farmer might need to abandon the alpacas when he flees from the fire.
This photo is of a person taking care of/ looking over their animals during a wildfire. This picture makes me think that because there is a lot of smoke in the air along with a orange color to the sky. The animals look like they are scared because they are all gathered into a corners and have their tails between their legs. The person looking over the animals has a mask around their neck could suggest that they were using it to cover their nose and mouth from the smoke of the fire. I also see a car in the background along with a house. The background is very hilly and the house is mounted above ground on a rock wall.
This photo is a wildfire with someone herding their animals for protection. There are lots of hills and the ground is someone dry suggesting in a desert area.
I think it is a picture of the Australian wildfire from the orange background and the smoke. Also, the llamas look like they are scared since they are herded together and their ears and tails are all down. The man at the back could be trying to protect the llamas from the fire. He has a mask to cover up his nose and mouth.
The background of the picture has an orange haze of smoke from the wildfires. The man pictured is watching over his alpacas that all look scared and bunched together. A possible reason for him to be keeping his alpacas confined in such a small place is the unsafety of the fires. I believe this picture was not taken in such a rural place however, because of the nice car and house.
I think this is a picture from the Australian Wildfires because of the alpacas and the old Range Rover and the smoke/fire in the background.
I believe this is in Australia due to the fire and the landscape as well as the types of vehicle in the photo. Also due to the fact that the Australian fiRes have been in the news a lot.
H. Physiscs
In the picture, i think a farmer is staying with his animals and hosing them down to protect them from an incoming wildfire. The mask the woman is wearing indicates that there is something in the air. the car indicates that the woman is prepared to leave if the fire gets too close.
@Evan I agree with what you're saying i do believe that the farmer is cooling down his alpacas because of the Australian fires and how much they are affecting the ecosystem. And I also agree that the car is for if they need to evacuate.
I think that this is the Australian wildfire. I think this because of the orange tint to the photo as well as the smoke and the smoke mask that she is wearing.
This picture shows a woman standing in front of a cage for Llamas or Alpacas. It might be like an Alpaca farm on a hill. There are 11 Alpacas in 3 different colors. Some are black, some are white and some are brown. The woman has a water hose in her hand which comes from a house that you can see in the background. The house seems to be on a hill and a car which looks like a Jeep is parked right next to it. On the right side you can see some trees in the background and the sky seems orange and brown, which makes me believe that there is a huge fire going on. The picture was probably taken in Australia because you currently hear a lot about the bushfires in Australia and how bad they are. The woman in the picture is probably getting ready to give the Llamas water because they must be really thirsty.
In the center of the picture, you can see a bunch of alpacas in a fenced compound. Behind the alpacas, you can see a woman standing with a water hose. The thing that immediately draws my attention to, is definitely the background. Behind a house and a car, you can see the sky, which appears orange and red. I think this picture was taken in Australia. Right now there are a lot of wildfires going on, in which a lot of animals are dying and suffering. The orange sky looks like the smoke from those fires.
This photo is a picture of a wild fire in California and a guy is moving his llamas to one area and all the animals are scared.
I think this depicts an old woman is spraying water with her hose for her alpacas to cool them down from a wildfire. I believe it is in Australia because of the wildfires or it could be from California a couple of years ago. The property is clearly well-kept, so it is maybe a more established place.
What was going on in the picture? It looks like there is a man with a mask on watching a bunch of alpacas. This dirt and free land around make it seem like there is a farm somewhat nearby. The man is also wearing something like a flannel and when i see flannels i think of farmers. The sky seems like there was some type of fire nearby so maybe this man rescued these alpacas and brought them to safety.
I believe that this man is about to kill the llamas. He looks covered up and wearing red so you don’t see the blood. He’s staring at the llamas and he’s holding a sword, that leads me to think he is gonna kill the llamas. The guy is wearing a mask. He is definitely about to kill these llamas.
In the picture it looks like a fire is near the lamb, it is smokey behind them and the sky is red and orange. It seems like the lady is trying to keep the lamb from going towards the smoke, so she is keeping them to one side of the fence. It looks super hot and muggy and the lambs look confused, scared, and curious.
I think this is a picture of a farmer and their llamas (?). I assume the person is a farmer because how he is dressed, the amount of clear land around him, and the fact the llamas are shaved, (assuming he owns them to collect their wool). The smoke in the sky may have been caused by a wildfire, which would explain why the person is holding the hose. The last thing I would point out is that they are wearing a painter’s mask around their neck, probably to block their face from the smoke.
This image seems to be in an outlandish place with an extreme amount of dust in the air as well as a small pen full of llamas with figure standing behind them with a mask of some kind covering his or her face. If I were to guess when and where this image was captured I would say either in the Bread Basket of the United states or somewhere in Australia. There is also a modern looking land rover in the back of the image indicating the picture was taken recently
What: Pen of alpaca near a house with a man standing near the alpacas.
Where: On a hill at what looks like a well kept property. Because of the intense fire in the back it looks like Australia.
When: Now.
When I first look at this imagine the first thing I see is the abundance of alpaca. They are in a very small pen which leads me to assume he’s trying to keep them in one spot and possibly away from the fire/smoke behind them. After seeing all the fire it also seems to be in modern day Australia because at this moment the whole country is ablaze. The man standing on the brick wall and has a very nice house which has little resemblance to a farmhouse so maybe he’s an alpaca breeder.
What I think is going on in this picture is that a fire has been burning for a while it seems because it very musty and colors clashing together of grey,orange and black. I see that this is at the person’s house and they might be living on a hill there are mountains in the back too surrounding. There is a car parked outside the house which seems to be a white jeep. The person seems to be standing on the ledge or grass area holding some type of stick with something covering their mouth and looking at the alpacas in a fenced closure trying to help them. I think this time period is a few years ago like 3-5 possibly in California.
I think that there's a fire in the back very close to the house and that lady is trying to protect her animals and keep them calm.i think it takes place in Australia because it's pretty dry and there's llamas also there's a foreign looking car in the back round.I also noticed the llamas are clean shaven and all huddled up i'm guessing to keep warm.I think this is close to the 90’s because the house isn't to modern but it's older.
I believe this picture is showing a person hosing down their recently shorn alpacas or llamas. Given the appearance of the car I’m assuming this is present day with its newer looking model. The smoke this leads me to believe this is countryside in Australia which would support my claim of it being present day due to the fire happening currently. Prayers to the families and firefighters out there.
It apears that there is a wildfire in the background. Theres a woman that is spraying the llamas with a hose. The llamas seem to be looking at something or confused. This could be taking place in Australia, due to all the wildfires going on. One other conclution is that the woman is trying to get them in a safe place.
Our fifth-grade classroom infers that this picture is a Wine Tour in Malibu, CA during a wildfire. We think that because Malibu caught fire in 2018. In the news, they said there was a place that had exotic animals and had to get everyone out but couldn't evacuate the animals. California and wildfires don't mix well but happen often because of the dry land.
P.S. We love our teacher Ms. Sharp and think she is the coolest.
It's a woman spraying llamas during a wildfire.
I see llama's, a building, a person, and green clouds.
I think it's a google maps picture. I think they are taking the llamas to a safe place. I think the picture is from Australia.
I wonder what there doing and why they are there.
In this picture, I think an old woman is just out feeding her alpacas. She is also spraying them with water so, they must live in a hot environment. She must not have a lot of land because they are fenced in a small area. The sun is setting so that is the reason it is getting dark.
In this picture, it appears that the lady is spraying the Llamas down with water to keep them cooled off. It also looks like it takes place in Australia near the wild fires. It also seems like they get sheared a lot to keep them cooled. One of the Llamas is chewing on anothers ear.

The women probably is spraying her llamas one last time before the fire gets there because they cannot fit in her car. The fire must be far away since the llamas are calm. It appears she is about to leave.
A man in Australia is hosing down his newly shorn alpacas to cool them down from the heat created by wildfires. (He is wearing a mask to protect himself from the smoke.)
There is an old lady spraying the alpacas with a water hose probably to cool them down from the big forest fire in the background.The lady has a sprinkler in the yard near the house for probably for the same reason.The alpacas are bunched up together like they are afraid of the fires.Someone has shaved the alpacas fur off because of the heat from the fire.
I think the person is spraying water on the alpacas to protect them from what appears to be a fire coming around close to the house. It looks like the alpacas don't like being sprayed with the water, but the woman is doing to protect them from it.
I think this picture is a forest fire in Australia because forest fires are happening there right now. The man or woman is going to go save these animals from the fire and take them to a shelter where they will be treated if hurt. The man or woman seems to have a mask on he or she's face so that he or she doesn't breath in the smoke. It looks like there's fire and smoke in the back of the house and is quickly spreading.
@Brynna I agree with you and feel like it is important to understand what is happening in the world right now to truly come to this conclusion. Good job!
We have a few ideas about what is going on:
-The man is trying to take the llamas to a science lab or a farm, away from the fire. The llamas are caged up. He is taking them to a better place. There is smoke from a fire in the background. The llamas are frightened and confused.
-This takes place in Australia during the wildfires. There are llamas who are scared. The guy lives at the house. He is trying to rescue the llamas from the fire, which is closing in on them.
Our class thinks that there is a fire happening in a dry area possibly Australia. The man/woman is protecting the alpacas from a fire. We infer there is a fire because the sky is red and orange and there is smoke in the back. We also infer that the man/woman is trying to protect him/herself and the alpacas.

The man comes out at sun rise, to check up on the alpacas. The man goes to get the hose to give them water. because he watching over for the owners. the owners are on vacation. so the men is getting payed $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 for whitening the alpacas.
It looks like the picture was taken recentaly in australia. The reason I think its in Austraia is because theres fire in the backround, and theres smoke everywhere. I think the man is holding a water hose because if you look closley then you can see that theres a hose, or someting attached to his hand. Maybe the man is trying to help the alpacas because he's watching over them with a mask on.
I think what's going on in this picture is that the man is going to feed the alpacas. I believe the man is going to spray the alpacas with the hose in that man's hands. Maybe the man wanted to check up on the alpacas to make sure they are ok. Also the man might be going to give them away. The man might be putting the hose away so the alpacas don't get it.
I think the picture was taken in Australia, because wildfires have been happening everywhere in Australia. The background of the image is an orange sky with smoke floating around in the atmosphere. There is also a burning forest in the horizon which can represent the Australian fires. The person in the picture has a gas mask hanging off of his/her neck, so that could also be a sign of the fires. He/She are also tending to the alpacas, maybe cooling them off with water because it can be really warm there. I think the alpacas are just in the picture to show the world how dry it is there and how hard it is to live there. ------Chloe
In this picture, it looks like it takes place somewhere in Australia. The past month I've seen news about the Australian wildfire and in this photo, I can see many similarities. First off, I see that they're is smoke and a burning forest in the background, I also observed that the sky shows a orangish colour which makes me wonder if there is a fire in the forest. Secondly, I see a man that has a gas mask dangling around his/her neck which looks like he is wearing to protect himself from breathing the air from behind him. Lastly, in the very front, it looks like these creatures are alpacas and I know that there are plenty of alpacas in Australia.-----Alex
This picture is taken in Australia because there is smoke in the back and australia has been having bush fires. He is at his house with his alpacas. The person is looking at the animals and he is like i know they are going to die. His house looks nice and his car but it might be someone's house maybe not his he could just be taking care of them for a little bit and like feed them if the owner is not there at the time.
This picture takes place in a home, and in the background you can see there's a fire, and there's a tree that I see that belongs in Australia or Africa, and since you can see there's a mask under the person's chin so that they don't breathe in the smoke. The person there owns the alpacas, and he/she is holding a wire that I believe is a hose because there's water coming out from the owners hand. The alpaca's look very frightened because of the fire, or the fact that they're being sprayed to death. This person may be preparing them to go into a truck or each alpaca in each Jeep.
I think that this picture is located in a dry area because it looks very dry. Also there is a very small amount of grass. In the back of the house it looks like fire and smoke. So the owner of the lamas put them their because ,he is moving them from the the fire. He is going to load them into his truck,so they do not get burned and die.
First of all, this picture takes place in Australia. I know this because there is obviously a huge bushfire in the background and the woman is wearing a mask over her face. Bushfires like this are currently happening in Australia. There are also llamas in the front yard of the house, which is something that you would expect to see in Australia. Secondly, This picture was taken sometime this month. I know this because there are currently bushfires going on in Australia. This has killed so many animals and destroyed people’s houses, forcing them to leave. Third, this photo shows a woman leaving her llamas when she had to evacuate her house. I know this because the woman had the llamas in the front yard of what appears to be her house. Her car is also completely filled, which tells me that she is leaving her house to go somewhere safe. In conclusion, this picture takes place in present-day Australia. There is a woman that is evacuating her home because of the dangerous bushfires. She has to leave behind her llamas, and this was her last time seeing them before she had to leave.
I think that in this picture the person is spraying the alpacas to clean them. She could also be doing that to keep them warm because it does look like their is a fire in the background near his house. Maybe she is spaying the water to make a little puddle for them to drink out of. She also looks like she's wearing a mask to help with the smoke in the air, so she must be really close to the fire but she would rather stay their and try to keep them alive by spraying them with the water.
This scene takes place in Australia. You can tell this because in the background you see lots of smoke and fire. As you know Australia has been having horrible wildfires. You can also tell that the man owns alpacas. We can tell this because there a small herd of alpacas in a fenced-in area. The man seems to be deliberating on what to do with the alpacas. We know this because he is just standing there and seemed to have a posture of defeat. He is probably deciding whether to set them free or try to take them with him. This picture shows and alpaca owner in Australia and is trying to decide what to do with his alpacas.

In this picture, there is a fir like a forest fire or a city is burning. I know this because the sky is orange and cloudy and the man has a face mask on. Next, I know the llamas are being saved. I know this because they are protected behind the gate. Lastly, I know that they re planning t escape before they are burned. I k ow this because they llamas look like ready to go and the man in the nack is wearing gear that looks like he's ready to drive out> ALso, there's a car in the background.
The person is in a place where there is a fire. I can tell because there is smoke in the background and the color of the picture is the color of fire. The person owns the alpacas, and it looks like she is watching them with a hose in her hand to make sure that the fire doesn't get to them. I can also tell that this picture is recent because there is a car and a house that looks pretty new.
I believe this picture takes place during a fire because the sky is smoky and red. There is a jeep parked in front of the house, making me assume this photo was taken recently. The house is very modern suggesting it is in a North America or South America. The man in the picture is also spraying the llamas or alpacas with a water hose, maybe because they need to cool down.
what I see in this picture is alpacas getting maybe some sort of wash after they got their coat sheared.
I can tell from the hose in the hand of the alpacas' owner
and i can also tell that they are freshly cut because of the distinct razor-like marks
I can also notice the alpaca owner has a white car and a house in the open. which can only mean she owned a large piece of land in a rural area
In this photo, I belive it was taken to show how scared the animals are. There all bunched together as if there going to get hurt. I did hear about the fires happening in Australia, so i'm going to take a guess. I predict this picture takes place in Australia. I say that because of the fires i've heard, and because there's smoke in the background. if you think abt it, the alpacas could be scared because of the fire. Another thing, if you look back at the house there's some things misplaced or messed up
In this picture, I think that the man in the background is making sure that the Alpacas have enough food and water. Maybe the man is rounding up the Alpacas to get them away from the fire and smoke. The Alpacas look scared because of the fire and smoke. I think that the man is trying to escape the fire with the Alpacas to get them to safety so, that if the fire and smoke spread, the Alpacas will not breath in the smoke.
This picture looks like there's some sort of forest fire or bushfire. In Australia they are having a lot of fires due to the temperature over there so this could take place in Australia. The person standing in the picture seems to be the owner of the alpacas in the picture. The person is spraying the alpacas with water because they may be very hot due to the fire. The person might be taking care of the alpacas before the fire gets there.
This picture takes place in Australia. I know this because in the background appears to be smoke from a fire and Australia is having bushfires right now. The person in the picture owns the alpacas. I know this because the person looks like they are looking after the alpacas that are cage in. The picture is taking in a secluded area. I know this because there are no other buildings or house but only smoke and mountains. In conclusion, the picture is taken in the present in Australia where a person is looking after their alpacas.
I believe that this photograph depicts a pack of alpacas or llamas on a farm near a chemical fire in the South American region of the world. In the background there is a mountainous terrain which suggests a Peruvian or Colombian highland setting. The orange hue to the photo leads me to believe that there is a chemical fire or reaction of some sort near by as this area seems rural and it would be unusual for there to be a lot of air pollution. A man who I would assume is the herder stands in the background and I imagine he is thinking of his alpacas and how they might not survive. Looking at the photo altogether, I believe it is a commentary on the perils that afflict the rural population around the world.
This is a recent photo. I know this because the jeep far back behind the man. In addition, the house design has a modern look to it. The man is cleaning the llamas. I know this because the man has a hose. In addition, in the photo is zoomed in close enough water can be seen. The man lives near a factory. I know this because the fog coming from off in the distance. Based on this evidence, this is a recent photo of a man cleaning/washing his llamas near a factory.
In this photo, there is a group of llamas being sprayed with a hose to cool down in the hot weather. I know this because there is a man standing above the llamas holding a hose that is pointed directly at them. The grass is also turning a sandy brown color, which indicates that it is dying due to heat. The llamas are being kept on some sort of farm. I know this because the man spraying them with the hose is wearing farmer-like attire: boots, flannel, and a hat. There also appears to be land for miles on end in the background with no houses to be seen. Additionally, the llamas are fenced in. There appears to be a wildfire somewhere near where the photo is being taken. I know this because there is a large cloud of smoke in the air, which is way too low to the ground to be a regular cloud. In conclusion, this photo features a group of llamas on a farm being cooled off in the heat by a hose while a wildfire occurs somewhere near.
I believe that this is a recent photo of a person standing with their llamas during the fires that are raging in Australia. In the background, we can see the smoke and red hue of the flames as they grow nearer to the house. The car near the house looks packed and ready to leave at the first sign of danger. However, the man is in conflict with what to do with his animals. He seems to be holding a rubber hose that runs to the house, potentially prepared to stay and try and spray the fires with water, or drench his animals with the water, in hopes that it will protect them.
This picture seems to be taking place in Australia. I can conclude this because recently there has been a high number of fires within the continent and there appear to be symbols that indicate there is a fire. For example, the smoke indicates there is a huge fire because you can tell there is a high amount of smoke. Another indication is the orangish tint in the sky. Within the picture, there also appears a bunch of either llamas or alpacas; which can be found in Australia. This photo is more specifically taken in a more secluded area. I can conclude this because there appears to be no other houses in sight. This could be the person’s home or a temporary settlement from the fire. The man also appears to be caring for the llamas/alpacas. I can infer this because he seems to have them in some kind of enclosure, indicating that he is making sure they stay put. In conclusion, this photo takes place in a rural location in Australia and captures a man caring for llamas or alpacas.
In this picture, we see llamas herded together. A person is standing near the llamas watching over them. In the background there is a white car, that we do not think looks like an American car. Behind the car and the house there is a cloud of what looks like smoke. We'd like to know where this picture was taken. We think Australia because of the recent wild fires.
Looking at this picture, the first things I see are the Llamas, the woman, the smoke in the air, and the red atmosphere. This picture appears to have been taken either after or during a nearby wildfire. Based on this evidence, I believe that the picture is taken in Australia, or another dry area that is prone to wildfires.
There is a forest fire in the background. I know this because there is an orange glow coming from behind the house. This picture was taken in a rural area. I know this because you can see hills and trees in the background of the photo. The person in the photo is saving the llamas from the fire. I know this because there is a large amount of animals being kept in a small enclosure which means that this is not a long-term solution. Based on the evidence, There is a man in a rural area saving llamas from a forest fire.
The photo was taken during a forest fire. I know this because there is a lot of smoke in the air. There is also an orange hue in the photo caused by the flames. This is in Australia. I know this because there is lots of sand on the ground and the man appears to be farming goats/sheep - very common livestock in Australia. The man is evacuating. I can tell this because he is wearing a mask and has something in his car. In conclusion, The man is trying to prepare for evacuation by giving his livestock extra supplies as the fire approaches his home
This picture looks fairly recent, maybe within a few years, even. The house looks modern. I definitely think there is a fire behind the house. There is a thick haze in the air, lit by an orange glow, which I assume to be fire. There is a large vehicle behind the woman. It may be packed with items in preparation for an esacpe of the fire. The woman is tending to about a dozen llamas or alpacas. It appears as though she is spraying water on them to keep them cool. They do have a thick coat of fur and I'd imagine they get hot easily. the woman has pants and a long sleeve shirt on. It is hot, but this clothing will protect her from burns, at least a little bit.
The person that owns the house in the back left corner owns an alpaca farm. I know this because it seems that they house it only a few meters away from these enclosure which has alpaca in it. This image takes place in Australia. I know this because there seems to be wildfire happening in the background with a lot of smoke in the skies. I know that there have been several wildfires in Australia right now which is what led me to state that this is the setting. The man in the back with the white hat on is a local volunteer trying to save the animals. I know this because he isn't dressed like he would be a person who is doing this professionally and it seems as though the animals are in a small circle and are scared of him which is probably because they have never seen him before and are scared.
In this picture, there are a bunch of llamas trapped. I know this because of the variety of llamas confined in a small area and uncomfortable in their position. In addition, there was a storm not too long before the picture was taken. I can infer this because in front of the llamas there is a lot of mud, and where the person is standing there is very cloudy and dirty air. The person lives inside of the house. I can infer this because there is a car in the background and the llamas are probably theirs. Based on this evidence, the picture takes place right after a storm and the person who lives in the house is checking on the confined llamas.
In this picture, it appears at though there is some time of natural disaster approching in the sky line. The owner of the animals seems to be trying to attending to his flock of llamas and getting ready for some time of disaster approaching. It appears that this situation is taking place in a rural area, as there seems to be only 1 home in the area, and the animals are being attended to by a farmer type man.
This picture takes place in some sort of farm area. Evidence of this is shown through the animals that are there and the sort of texture the ground has. Another piece of evidence that I discovered was that this picture takes place in Australia. I know this because there is visible smoke in the background and the skies are turning orange just as they are now in the present day. The final piece of evidence I discovered is that this woman that is standing behind what appears to be alpacas, is most likely trying to but some of the fire out with the hose that she has in her hand. In conclusion, this picture takes place in present-day Australia where the raging fires are occurring. This woman who is also a farmer is trying to help put some of the fires out with the hose that is in her hand.
This picture was taken in Australia, I know this because the red-orange color in the sky reminds me of the fires that Australia has gotten into and how habitats are getting damaged because of them, and also on the top right corner of the picture looks like the smoke from the fire is going to the right. The man in the middle is debating whether or not to leave the llamas or take them with him. I know this because he has his left hand on his hip and looking at the llamas with a worried look on his face. The llamas in the picture are alarmed about there surroundings, I know this because llamas are usually scattered around and eating, and in this picture, they are not doing what they will normally do instead they are all in a crowd looking to escape somewhere safe.

There appears to be a large wildfire in the background of this picture. I know this because the sky is lit up with a red and orange fiery-looking color and it looks smokey. Because of this fire, there could be a drought where these people and animals don’t have a lot of water and the place around them is very dry. This could be why the woman is holding a garden hose, to keep them hydrated, and give them something to drink. The woman is dressed like a farmer and has a mask to protect herself from breathing in the smokey air. Also, there are sprinklers on the lawn, probably to keep the grass from getting too dehydrated and dry, which would be a fire hazard. The alpacas in the picture are fenced in. There is also fencing in front of the stairs for the alpacas, or maybe other animals. I think that they maybe usually allowed to roam the property sometimes then return to the pen, but they are fenced in now so that they can’t get closer to the fire or get hurt. This picture takes place at someone’s house. I know this because you can see the house in the background and there are cars parked out front. This house could be located in some place like California or Australia because there are a lot of wildfires that happen there.
This picture is set in a really dry and hot area. I know this because of the dust/sand and or smoke clouds around making the whole picture seem orangey and grey. Plus, the lady in the picture is "watering" the llamas. I think this lady owns some kind of farm or barn. I think this because she's tending to llamas that are right in front of a house which is probably her's. In conclusion the lady in the picture is a llama farmer, and she lives in a dry and hot area with her farm and llamas.
The photo was taken after a forest fire. I know this because there is an alarming amount of smoke in the air. Also, there is an orange hue in the photo caused by the residue of the fire. The animals are in danger. I know this because the llamas in the photo are crammed together inside a pen where there is barely enough room to fit all of them. The llamas also are very skinny and look like they haven’t eaten or received care in days. The animals are being rescued. I know this because the scene of the photo clearly indicates that the animals are in a state of danger because of the fire. Also, there is a person wearing a hat coming up to the animals while wearing a mask (the mask is for protection from the fire). In the background, there is a white jeep, which is has a lot of storage in the back. The storage is going to be used to help the animals. Based on the evidence the llamas are in danger because of a forest fire and are being rescued.
@Lillie P
how can you be sure this is taking place after the fire and not during?
In this picture I see, in the background, an orange sky with lots of smoke. In the front of the photo i see Alpacas. I believe this photo was taken in Australia. I know this because there's a lot of forest fires going on in australia and there’s also alpacas. I believe someone had taken them out of the woods and is now keeping them in that little cage so they don't die. Also the person in the back is spraying them with water which makes me think there's a fire and they are trying to keep the alpacas hydrated. Lastly, the woman is wearing a mask and long sleeves. she is protecting herself from the smoke. In conclusion this photo takes place in Australia and the woman saved those alpacas and is keeping them hydrated.
I think that this is a scene in the middle east after a dust storm or wildfire. This is because the man who is holding the hose has tannish skin and the picture takes place in some kind of desert. The llamas are in a fence of some kind and look burned, presumably from the fire. The man who is hosing them down to cool them off is also dressed in very covering clothes to protect himself. The ground around them is scorched and dead, and the air in the background is still in flames and smoke is everywhere.
It looks like there is a head of one of the llamas above the rock wall.
Whoever lives in the house owns some kind of farm that host llamas. I know this because outside the house you can see there are a variety of different llamas contained within a fence. In addition, this picture also shows a big wildfire that has taken place. I know this because in the back behind everything is what appears to be a lot of smoke. The surroundings and sky are orange and yellow. Also, the air quality looks dirty and unhealthy like a bad fire has occurred. The person outside the also has some kind of mask around his neck, probably to protect him from the smoke. Lastly, the person is cooling and cleaning off the llamas. I know that because if you look closely at the person, you can see that water is coming out of a hose aiming towards the llamas. Even though an insane wildfire that has taken place the llamas still need care. In conclusion, this picture takes place during some kind of wildfire and the person is taking care of his animals.
It looks like l llama pinned in; the guy with a hose it looks like he going to water the llama.
In this picture a group of llamas are stuck in a cage. I know this because they are all in a small crate that they did not choose to be inside of. Also, The man in the back of the picture was the one that brought them their and is most likely a farmer. I know this because he is looking at them and has some type of device in his hand that could have been used to trap the llamas. Additionally, this picture takes place out in the countryside. I know this because there is mostly land and hills in the background and the man is wearing something that farmers might wear and farmers are usually found out in the countryside. In conclusion, in this picture a group of llamas got trapped by a farmer somewhere in the countryside.

In the picture, there is a woman with a flannel shirt and cargo pants. I know this because that is the only person in the picture. In this picture, there is a family of llamas. I know this because there are llamas in a pack. The woman in the back has a hose and is watering her plants. I know this because there is water spraying in the picture with the hose. Based on the evidence the woman has a farm and is watering her plants with llamas.
The man in the picture is a farmer. I know this because the man is looking at his animals outside his house. Also the man in wearing a mask and gloves. This picture is taken place on a farm in California. I know this because it looks like it is very sunny and the house looks like a place in california. The man in the picture shearing the lamas. I know this because the wool is off the lamas. Based on the evidence the picture is taken place in California at the man's farm and the man sheared the lamas.
California
We think it is took places in Australia, because there were many fires, you can tell it by the smoke, we can't see anything green because this place has had a drought for a long time. The lady was spraying water on the llama and shaved them to keep them cool.
@Elle
Good observation about how it looks like the llamas are shaved. I hadn't noticed that detail, but it would make perfect sense.
this man (or woman) is watching his/her lama's ( or alpacas) while the sun is setting and spraying water to keep them cool cause since they like in a hot area they need water to cool down
Our class thought this was in Australia because of the orange skies and that the man is spraying the alpacas (some say llamas) with water to cool them down. One student thinks it could be Peru and the sun is rising.
@Ms.Grocott's 7th Grade I agree with both your ideas. I never thought that this could be a picture of a sunrise in Peru, and with a new perspective, I could see where you think this. However, I also agree that this is a picture of Australia. To elaborate, the mask on the person, the smoke, and the fact that the person is giving water to the scared animals hints that this picture more likely involves the fires in Australia.
@Ms.Grocott's 7th Grade
I agree on this opinion, however i don't think it's a sunset in peru
in this picture it looks like the man is admiring his lamas.
the man is protecting his herd from the fire that is in the background
The lady in this photo owns a farm and what looks like is going on in this picture is that there has been a fire and it looks like the old lady who rescued the llamas or is keeping them away from the fire and is spraying them the llamas with the hose to keep them cool and from getting too hot from the fire.
On the right you see can see something that is burning. The lamas look like they have been shaved. The women is throwing water at then. In my conclusion they have bearly rescue the lamas.
@Katherine Pena I did not notice the shave. It could be to cool them off. Perhaps they were already the person's lamas.
I think this is showing the fires that are occurring in Australia. The woman in this picture looks like she's wearing a mask and that could be because she can't inhale smoke from the fires. The smoke around the house is from the fire and you know this is a fire because of the red and yellow glow in the background and it kind of looks like dust.
what I think that is going on in this photo is that the lady is there care taker and she is taking care of the lamas.
The person in this photo is spraying the llamas with water to cool them down from the fiery smoke behind them in hopes that it won't reach their land. It appears that the person lives alone and feds for themselves.
I feel like this is a picture from the Australian fires. The person probably saved the llamas from the fire and took them somewhere they will be safe. She is also spraying them with water to help with the heat and dehydration. Also you can tell that there are fires going on because of all the smoke around them.
This reminds of the Australian wild fires. This woman is washing these animals that are kept within a certain area. The air looks contaminated to me, which is also probably why the woman is wearing a mask. The air is probably contaminated from the ashes of the fire. These animals were probably in danger so the woman decided to rescue and care for them. I can also find that the woman lives in a nice home and vehicle so it seems to me that she can afford to care for these animals.
It looks like there is a fire off in the far distance and it looks like this person is saving the animals. it looks like the person has a gas mask to protect themselves from the smoke and also by the looks of it the person in the picture has a hose to spray the llamas or alpacas with to cool them down.
the wild fires are getting the lamas really hot so the lady that owns them is putting water on them so they don't get too hot from the fires.
I think that the alpacas are being saved from the wildfires in Australia.
a guy overlooking llamas in Australia because of the forest fires or maybe its just a guy looking at someone else's llamas
This is in Australia for sure cause due to the wide spread of wild fires that are being reported in the east, and south east of Australia. This is proven from the sky's saturation and then yet you can see to the top right of the photo that there's a patch of clear sky from the smoke.
I think what is happening here is there is a pack of llamas and a scientist is looking at them from afar. there is a lot of llamas and it is very dusty. I see it is very and hot and windy and very cloudy. there's a beautiful building in the background, I see a jeep, a lady looking at the llamas. I think that there is a fire and this might take place in Australia.
It looks like there is a wild fire and the alpacas are in danger. It looks like a fire because of the background and the alpacas look dehydrated and going to suffocate. I see a farmer, a house, a truck.
I see a man that is giving the lamas water and in the background there is a wild fire that is getting close and extremely hot for them
this picture looks like lamas being burnt. the sky being all smokey cause of the wildfires. the lady having a mask cause of the smoke.
Some of the class thought the picture showed the fires in Australia and some sort of animal rescue. They noticed alpacas and the sky was orange which might be from fires. They also noticed the person seemed to be wearing a mask. There was a car that could belong to a ranger and possibly a trailer.
Another theory is that it is not in Australia, but an alpaca zoo, possibly in Peru. They thought this because Australia is in summer right now and the person is dressed for colder weather. Also, they didn't think there were alpacas in Australia. The sky could be orange because of sunset.
We think this takes place in Australia and that this man is saving the animals from a wildfire. He's wearing what we believe is a gas mask around his neck so that he doesn't breathe in the smoke. It also looks like he's holding a hose to spray and cool down the llamas.
The man owns a farm. I know this because there are farm animals. In addition, there are fences that are keeping the animals from running away. The location of the house is fairly isolated. I know this because there doesn’t seem to be any other houses and there is a mountain range in the background. There is a large fire(perhaps a forest fire). I know this because there appears to be smoke in the background and looks as if there may be flames.
The person in this photo seems to own a farm. I know this because of the alpaca’s that he has in the fences. In addition, he seems to be bringing them food. The place seems to be on fire. I know this because of the ominous orange glow coming from the sky, it almost looks like a fog. This picture seems to be taken in Australia. I know this because the place looks to be almost abandoned and has the same orange fog that the Australian bush fires are giving off. Based on this evidence the person in this photo is feeding his alpaca’s while the bush fire is going on.
AUSTRALIAN FOREST FIRES?!?!?!?
Perhaps these Alpacas have been saved from the fires by this person and he is spraying them with water to cool them down. They appear to have been recently shorn. It is difficult to see where the man's attention is directed.
The fence seems temporary. The house appears modern. The grass seems dry, perhaps from drought.
The overall color of the image suggests fire and smoke.
I believe that it is taking place in Australia due to the recent wildfires. The vehicle in he background looks to be equipped fr rough terrain that corresponds with Australia. The person in the picture also appears to be hosing down the animals which could be due to high temperature caused by fires. There is also a very warm background with excess smoke rolling over the hills.
Because of all of the recent wildfires in Australia, I assumed that the orange glow and the smoke was due to the fires there. The person in the picture appears to be wearing a mask around their neck and has a hose pointed towards the group of alpacas. The animals seem to be worried and stressed due to their dangerous situation.
It looks like there is a big fire in the background. It could be the fire in Australia. The person in the background is holding a hose. They could be cooling off the alpacas in the fenced-in area. The house looks empty. They could be trying to get away from the fire.
I believe that this is taking place in Australia, during a recent wildfire. Noting the red-orange hue in the sky and what looks to be smoke all around as well, it's inferred that there's a fire going on. Also, the woman looks to have a mask- maybe to help her breath in the smoky air?- and a hose, probably to cool the shaved alpacas off from the heat of the fire. The woman also has covered the majority of her skin, maybe to protect herself from the heat, fire, and/or the smoke.
It looks like the alpacas are in/were in some kind of danger. The sky is dark and full of smoke, and the grass is dry and brown. The alpacas look unhealthy - their coats are filthy and they look starved. They are penned in so they can't run off and are being sprayed with water. It looks like the person in the background is trying to help them, though I don't know how the water is helping them.
I believe that this picture takes place in the current issue with wild fires in Australia. The sky appears orange like the reflection of fire and in the corner you can see some smoke. It looks as if the person is holding a water hose to the animals in order to cool them down from heat.
Looking at this picture, I have com to the conclusion that there was a fire/explosion that had occurred in close proximity. The lady carrying the hose and mask, may be coming to cool down the alpacas with a hose or if not the alpacas the dirt surrounding them. The far lady, caged animals, car and hose, lead me to think this is true.
I think the woman is spraying her alpacas with water to keep them cool from the wildfires going on around her. I assume this is in Australia due to the wildfires occurring there right now and the house and landscape looks like one in Australia. I assume there is a wild fire due to the orange sky and smoke.
She is spraying them with water cause they need it and if you look to the left there is a sprinkler.
sheering the lamas
reasons: getting the lamas wet
he is got a hose to water the sheep
I believe that the animals are being bunched up and potentially rescued from the Australia Forest Fires
A girl (worker) saving animals (alpacas) from wildfire
people are going to rescue the alpacas from Australia wild fires. Or just help to give them water or cooling them off.
A woman of sorts is at this house to see what can be saved from what looks to be a forest fire raging on in the background.
I believe that the lady standing there is trying to hurt the alpacas. They look scared to death and they look very uncomfortable too. There is smoke or dust in the back. I think it might be from a fire but it might just be dust.
There were many wildfires and the man with a hose in his hand is spraying of the alpacas to keep them cool. The man is also wearing a mask for his protection.
The woman is gathering her alpacas to protect them from a wildfire, possibly in Australia
I think that the alpacas got their fur shaved
I think the man is trying to water his animals or he is trying to fence his awnser.
Most responding to this image infer the presence of fire with smoke, and llamas or alpacas facing uncomfortable, or possibly a dangerous, life-threatening situation. @Trace draws our attention to specific evidence. He sites, "the grass in the yard is all dead and brown, and the dirt dry and caked". @eliza also sites "dryness in the brown grass".
Many have drawn our attention to the care and protection given to the animals present, focusing on humanitarian concerns.
Thanks to all for the evidence-based thinking and for allowing your ideas to evolve as you look longer. Keep the theories coming and don't forget to check back in on Thursday when more about the image will be revealed!
We think that this is taking place in Australia during the recent wildfires. It appears the person is cooling down the alpacas with a hose. There seems to be a lot of smoke and an orange color to the sky which many indicate a large wildfire. The alpacas are fenced in so they don't run or get hurt by the fire. We think this is Australia because of the recent fires occurring there.
In this picture, I feel it seems that a storm is brewing and the llamas are being held together. The picture is very dark and the person is wearing warm clothes, which could back up the idea of the storm because storms often bring colder weather. Although this could very much be a storm, another idea I had is that a fire could be starting. I see warm colors in the background and that the llamas are shaved. The dark skies could easily be smoke instead of dark storm clouds. The llamas could be shaved to avoid overheating and having their fur catch on fire and the person could be wearing heavy and cold weather clothes to avoid having his skin burned. These are the two ways that I view this picture as.
@kenan I love how you used "storm is brewing" it really captures the aspect the emotion in the picture
We think the animals in the picture are llamas. They have gotten their fur shaved. Maybe because they were too hot, they make clothing out of it, or because they shed. We think there is either a sandstorm, tornado, or a fire in the background. We see a jeep that is probably used for driving around the country. The sun is setting. The person is spraying water to cool down the llamas or wash them off. We wonder where the other people are because there is more than one car. The house looks too fancy to be a farm house.
It seems that a fire has occurred on a hilltop near someone's home. There is a large cloud of black smoke surrounding the house and the rest of the area. It appears that the lady, possibly the home owner, has placed a gate like barrier around the animals restricting the animals from moving elsewhere. She is spraying them water to cool them down which indicates high temperatures. Also, there is a dark substance on the coat of the animals. This is event is similar to the recent outbreaks of fires in Australian that has ripped through the wildlife environments forcing the animals to rely on the help of humans.
A man, who lives in the dry hills, is watching over his twelve newly shaved llamas, and he realizes that they are dirty from their pin, so he is going to spray them down with a hose. You can see the dryness in the brown grass, which also has an unhooked sprinkler lying on top of it. The hill in the back shows that he lives by or in the hills, but you can also see the slant that goes from the house to the llama pin. The man looks as though he is about to wash the llamas off because he is pointing the hose at them. All twelve llamas have been shaved and this can be seen by the obvious lines in the llamas fur. Overall the man is trying to clean and take care of his llamas while the dryness of the surroundings is shown in the area.
A farmer begins his long day of work at dawn while he watches his llamas congregate in the corner of their pin as they wait to be fed. The Llamas are all huddled together in the corner nearest to the farmer even though there is clearly plenty of space for them to spread out. This signifies that the Llamas are waiting for something from the farmer: the Llamas are waiting for food. Also, the sun is just beginning to rise in the image implying that it is the morning which is commonly known to the animals as feeding time. This further portrays the idea that the llamas are waiting for food because this is the time of day when they would usually be fed. This is just like humans; we depend on others every day, so much so that we expect it. Just like the llamas, we wait to be served.
@Ben I agree with most of this, but I am guessing you failed to see the smokey stuff coming from the sun and the gas mask the lady has around her neck.Usually, the sun doesn't create smoke.
Fires are causing heat to the animals. An orange haze is covering the sky which resembles smoke and flames. This is probably a wildfire. The animals are being sprayed by water by the person standing on the stone wall. There does not appear to be soap of any kind, so this could imply that the water is not for bathing but perhaps as a cooling mechanism. The llamas seem refreshed because of the water, and some of them have a smile on their faces. The fire could be near or far but seems somewhat far since there is no worry on the person's face. This seems similar to the fires in Australia because many spray water on the koalas to cool them off. This could be Australia since some llamas are located there.
@victoria I agree with what you are saying. I never even noticed how he might be "cooling" the llamas, great observation on how there was no soap and that led you to this idea!
@victoria What an interesting conclusion
@victoria I agree with what you have said and reading your comment, I now see that there is a fire going on. I didn't quite see that before, but now it is obvious because of the smoke and the mask around the neck of the man.
In this picture, a countryside resident cools down their llamas from the heat and recent fires caused by the dry spell with water from a hose. This picture is of a more rural area as there are no other buildings in sight, there is an off-road-capable SUV with a snorkel (for driving through water) parked in the background, the resident pictured is wearing work pants and shoes, and the obvious llamas that are fenced in. The hazy, orange-brown tint of the entire picture suggests a nearby fire; the mask draped around the person's neck also supports this, as it would be used to reduce the negative effects of inhaling smoke. One could also reasonably assume these fires have been caused by dryness and heat, as the grass in the yard is all dead and brown, the dirt is dry and caked, and an extra sprinkler lies in the yard.
In this picture, I think that a researcher is observing the herd of llamas in a very polluted area. I believe that this is true because the white car in the background. This jeep or adventurous car is common for researchers and hence, the person in the middle would observe and investigate the animals.Secondly, the area is heavily polluted. This is true because in the background, there is plenty of smoke. This implies that the area is polluted or full of harmful materials and gasses. In conclusion, I believe that a researcher is observing the llamas at harm.
The llamas are panicked because of their environment and their positioning. The smokey and dusty sky makes us believe as if there was a fire or that there is a fire going on. Because of the danger, the llamas face, and not the man because you can see a piece of fabric or mask he can use to cover his mouth and nose, from the smoke and the potential burning if there is a fire, there is a sense of panic when looking at this image. The llamas are huddled together as if they are afraid of something. Typically when animals are in a field or have a large space they tend to separate for the most part while in this image you can see that the llamas are packed together in the corner of their enclosed space.
This photo depicts a local man in the midsts of a giant wildfire deciding what to do with his llamas and how to protect them from the unstable environment. In this picture, you can see a fire in the background since there is ash and the sky looks orange, and you can see the man has a mask most likely to protect from the harmful smoke. You can also see the llamas huddled together most likely because the man is trying to keep them together or decide how to save them as the background looks unsafe and daunting. In the background is a jeep, but clearly, it does not look like it can fit all the animals in order to get away. If the local man wanted to save just himself, he would have already gotten in the Jeep. This photo reminds me of the Australian wildfires that are currently happening in the world, and it vividly depicts the effects on the environment as well as those who inhabit it.
@Maddie This is exquisite
In this picture, it is apparent that the person in the photo has shaved the llamas and is spraying them with water in order to cool them down after a fire has broken out. The remaining fur on the llamas is sparse and has lines in it from a razor of some kind. The background looks like there is a fire because I can see smoke. Perhaps these animals and their fur are a source of this person's income and it is important for him to protect them.
In this picture, a rancher is washing and restricting his llamas to keep them cool and safe due to the surrounding forest fire. The visible smoke, covering the sky in the background, shows that there is some sort of flame below. The visual of the rancher holding a hose to wash his llamas and keeping them in a confined area shows that he wants to keep them cool and from running into dangerous areas. This picture is an example of the effect climate change is having on the world and our ecosystems.
This picture depicts the issues that farmers and animals are facing due to the wildfires. In the background of the picture, we see an orange haze and mountains surrounded by smoke, which suggests that some sort of fire has occurred. The main focus of the photograph is a farmer wearing a mask to protect him/herself and spraying their llamas with a hose to keep them cool. It demonstrates the agricultural and pastoral struggles that confront the communities ravaged by these wildfires.
In this picture, the women is trying to protect the llama and she is about to hose them down to keep them cool because there has been a fire. The bright colors and smoke in the background indicate the fire. The man is holding a hose that is pointing towards the llamas. This indicates that the animals are in danger because of the fire and the man is trying to protect them and keep them cool with the hose. This seems to be a picture from the Australian wild fires.
This photo is a South American farmer who is tending to his year old lmams and preparing them from the upcoming winter. This Photo is from south america because of the landscape and because llamas are commonly found in South america. You can also see the style of house in the background which is something you would commonly see in South America.
the house doesn't seem that old it seems like there's some sort of storm going on in the the back round or a fire and so maybe south africa because most of there land is very hot an dry so it could be a sand or dust and there are llamas and llamas can be found in south america so i would guess this picture is in south america or california
it looks like the guy is puting his lammas toghther for a storm because it look like theres ganna be in a storm and i think that because there is a dark cloud behind them.
it looks like it takes place in astralia or africa because it looks kinda dry and i dont really now ether places that have lammas
I think this is in the mountain because a see some mountains in the back ground I think this is located in alaska with all the smoke . They do have animals like these in alaska. There are some baby llamas in a fenced area and it looks like the owner is coming to feed them
@Devan,
Thanks for your comments and please keep looking! What do you see that makes you say this is Alaska?What do you see to make you think these are baby llamas?
I think the mountains are on fire/ forest fire . Also I think its in the world war two time period. I think this is happening in california.
The picture is in the mountain because you see other mountains. In the background it could be clouds or smoke.
It looks like the mountains are on fire, because of the cloud and smoke.
The house has modern architecture that sort of seem like a place in California.
The background may also be a sunset.
It might not be a farm, just a person that owns some alpacas/llamas.
Since there are fires happening in Australia, this photo may be taken there.
Intro to Photo class
We think this is taken in either California or Australia because of the recent fires there. There is smoke in the background. The woman is spraying the alpacas to keep them cool or calm. The woman is wearing a mask. The alpacas look scared.
I think this takes place on an alpaca or llama farm. This is a pretty modern picture because the quality is very good and the car in the background is fairly modern. The man (or possibly woman, I cannot tell) is wearing a flannel and a cap, which might not be the most modern fashion, but since they are farming and working with animals, it is understandable. The sky appears to be filled with smoke and fire, which explains the mask the person is wearing. They are probably rounding up their animals to make sure they are safe from the fire.
@Annelisse,
You've described "modern" elements in this photo, noting the picture quality and the car in the background. Are there more details that corroborate your inference? Keep looking! What more can you find?
I think that this picture was taken in Australia, and it was taken to focus on the impact of the fires. The orange hazy effect makes me assume that there is a fire, and also, I notice that the man has a mask on because of the smoke. The person is probably going to give water to the animals because of the heat and the ashes from the fire. I assume that this picture is taken of Australia because the Australian fires are world-known, and are a big problem for people, globally. Lastly, I think that this picture shows how the fire, caused by humans, impacts everyone, even small animal-owners in the rural parts of the country.
@Emma K. AOSE,
Fires do, indeed, effect and impact humans and animals alike. Can you elaborate on why you think the fire in the image is/was caused by humans?
There is a fire in the background of the this picture. The man is debating about staying with his llamas and trying to protect them, and leaving them and fleeing the fire. If he flees he is leaving his house and his llamas, but he know if he stays he will not be able to protect all of them and his house. The background and grass suggest that he is on a hill and there is also another pen behind him, so he has to make the decision of his life time. To stay or to leave?
In the picture, you can see orange and grey smoke which I believe represents the start of a wildfire happening in the background. The guy has a gas mask which could prove the point that a fire is happening. In the back you can see a car which means he/she needs to leave the area before the fire reaches them. But the person instead gather all the llamas into a cage and holds a hose. Which means that the person is not leaving because of the llamas.
I see llamas that are in fear of what is happening around them. I see thick, orange and black smoke in the sky. In the back the person can easily escape from the scene but stays to protect the animals. To save them the owner shaved the llamas coat so they won’t catch on fire.
This looks like a photo of a lady spraying llamas with water so that they don't get burned in a fire. I can tell there is a fire because of the orange light in the background and the dark smoke. If this photo was taken recently, it was probably taken in Australia. There have been many wildfires recently there, so this photo could've been taken to raise awareness and emphasis the impact that the fires have had on the nation.
In this picture, there is a group of llamas or alpacas all gathered together. There is a person watering the lamas/alpacas. Probably trying to cool them off. The person seems to have a mask hanging around her neck. This and the orange and red dusty sky leads me to believe there is some sort of fire. This picture could have been taken in Australia due to all forest fires.
In the forefront of this picture I see multiple alpacas that are fenced in. Then we also see a person who is holding a hose and appears to be watering the alpacas to keep them cool. The picture has an orange tint, which leads me to the conclusion that this is during the Australia bush fires. This would make sense for why the farmer has to keep the alpacas cool to keep them from overheating. The farmer also seems to have a mask around their neck. This would protect them from breathing in the fumes from the fire.
Good morning, WGOITP! Happy new decade! I feel like it's been forever since we've seen you!
My class immediately responded to the color of the photo. They said that it looked like smoke, which made them consider that this was taking place in Australia. We further identified that there are alpacas or llamas in the foreground. We say that because of their long necks. They appear to be freshly shorn, because of the marks on the sides of their bodies. The Land Rover in the background has a snorkel on it, which leads us to conclude that this is in a remote location, which might be difficult to access without a 4x4 vehicle with specially outfit accessories!
What more can we find?
We have looked more closely at the woman standing in the image. She appears to have a mask around her neck, and that supports our fire theory.
@Mr Franke's 4th and 5th Grade Gifted,
Happy New Year to you, too, @Mr Franke's 4th and 5th Grade Gifted!
You're observations identify smoke in the sky creating unusual color, describe the setting, identifying it as Australia, and draw our attention to the freshly shorn alpacas (or llamas).
Following the the photos imagery from background to foreground has presented us with a layered narrative. Thank you for the many details described.
What more can you find?
In this picture, I think it is some kind of llama farm in Australia. I think this picture was taken in Australia because there are very bad wildfires in Australia right now, and I think this mans house is near the fire. Thats why the sky has a haze and is filled with orange light, and smoke.
There is what looks to be a modern house in the background with a pretty new white jeep. There is a person dressed in flannel and khakis and they appear to be wearing a mask. It also looks like he/she is holding a hose. In the front of the picture there are some alpacas or llamas in a very small enclosure. The air in the picture looks to be very dirty. This could be a product of a forest fire or smog. A forest fire might be more likely because in the distance you can see the picture is a mountainous area and there might be a forest as well.
In this picture I see a person risking his/her life as the smoke and flames approach the heard of llamas and their house. The person is staying there to protect the animals and give them water. In the persons hand it looks like they are holding a hose so the llamas do not get too hot from the heat of the fire. The smoke is getting heavy and dark in the mountain they are on. With the freedom to leave the person still stays there to be with and protect his beloved animals.
I think it's in Australia because of the wild fires that are going on. That would explain the smoke in the air. The man is spraying the llamas and the ground with water to keep it wet so the fire won't spread in their area. I wonder how the llamas will escape since the jeep is so small.
In this picture it looks like a fire is happening and the owner is spraying his llamas with water so they don’t catch on fire. My guess is that the fire is happening in Australia due to the recent wildfires.
Currently Australia has been erupting in wild fires and this photo could possibly be from the island. The dangerous heat and flames require everyone to evacuate and seek shelter. The animal huddled together possibly in fear. The man/women has something to cover there nose from the smoke in the air to protect them, but the llamas/alpacas don’t have that protect them.
In this photo a big cloud of smoke creeping on the herder and his llamas which possibly states that a fire is going on in the back with the truck as a possible escape option.
The anarchy of fire laid across the sky toxic and gloomy air around for miles as seen by the gas mask the herder has around their neck. The dark drag color of the air shows a horrific fire spreading in the back. The llamas clearly startled are being watched by a figure who clearly cares for them.
@Jesus M I agree, I think the air is very toxic there, because of the fires.
It looks like there is a fire in the distance. There’s a house in the background which is probably the man’s. The alpacas seem to have been shaved for their fur. It looks like the man is holding a hose since there is a string coming from the house.
@Olivia I agree with you. I think the person in the photo is spraying the llamas with water so that they are less likely to burn in a nearby and approaching fire.
There is a bounty of smoke in the air. The Shepard seems to be holding a hose to cool the llamas down.
@Josh What does a bounty of smoke in the air mean?
We noticed this is probably a farm. We also noticed smoke and a sort of haze. We wonder where this picture was taken and why it was taken. We think someone's watching over the animals. We think there could possibly be a fire going on.
@Mrs. Owens Class I agree with you. I think the photo could've been taken in Australia recently. If in fact it was taken in Australia, then it was probably taken to raise awareness of the nation's current situation.
In this picture there is a woman standing in her yard looking at her llamas. The llamas are very close together in a group. The woman is holding a hose spraying water at the llamas to cool them down. In the background it looks like there is a lot of smoke so there is probably a wild fire near by. I’m assuming based on the smoke and the wild fire that’s this picture was probably taken in Australia.
@Abigail How do you know that the person in the picture is a woman?
@Abigail I completely agree!! Especially when you mentioned the picture probably taken in Australia.
In this picture I see a lady watering down llamas. The setting looks like a golden red sky in the middle of nowhere. This could be taken place in Australia. In Australia, there’s a dangerous and large wildfire, which could be going on in the picture.
This could be a picture of the bushfires in Australia. The sky is very red, and it looks like there is a cloud of smoke floating overhead. The woman has a mask lying around her neck, possibly to protect her from smoke inhalation. She is wearing a hat that has the logo of a company or organization, but it is difficult to read. She could be associated with an organization trying to save animals from the bush fires. She is spraying them with water to help keep them cool. The alpacas have brush marks. Fur that was burned or had ashes on it was cut off. Some of the alpacas look like they still have ashes or burn marks on their fur. The alpacas were most likely rescued from the fires. The car in the background looks like it may be a Range Rover. The animals look in distress. Their bodies are tense and all their heads are up. None of them appear to be grazing.
I think in this picture the poor llamas are stuck in the thick, hot wildfires of Australia. The fire is in a uproar. It’s making the air ashy and very unclear. The woman is appeared to be holding a hose. This is foreshadowing that the llamas are very hot and she is going to spray them with cold water to cool them down. This is a very unfortunate matter cause many animals have been killed because of these red, Smokey fires.
In this picture it looks like a woman holding a hose aiming it at llamas. I think that she is either bathing them or giving them water to drink.
@Peter Cinelli What would you say is the reason for the the women watering the llamas?
In this image.I see llamas in a cage getting moved around because of a fire. I think it is good that the person stayed with their llamas in case of emergency instead of leaving them to die. That hopefully makes the llamas feel calm in this terrible situation.
The first thing I noticed was the sky; it is obvious that there is a fire nearby because of the orange and brown smoke in the sky. You can also see the smoke coming up from the ground. I also noticed the alpacas/llamas (probably alpacas because they are shaved and I have never heard of llama wool) are in a small pen, possibly to make them easer to contain and keep from panicking because of the fire. The woman seems to be spraying alpacas/llamas and the ground around them with water to help keep them safe from the fire, because wet things don't burn as easily. I think this is a picture of the Australian fire because of the dry looking climate and type of car (I have never seen a car like that).
I see a farmer herding his animals in a small pen to keep them away from some kind of fire. The sky is all yellowish orange, and there is a small group of animals in the foreground.
@Nicholas I agree with your conclusion that there is a fire burning somewhere in the vicinity. That is a very good point that made about the farmer herding the alpacas to keep them safe from the fire.
In this photo, it seems that there is a huge fire in the background. The lady seems to be distraught looking at her llamas. She must be very nervous about the safety of her llamas. She also has a hose in her hand. This hose might be used for saving them from the fire or giving them drinking water.
@Lily The hose was a good observation. I didn't even notice it. It makes a lot of sense now because with the hose, mask, and fire, it is certain that the person is doing something to protect the animals from the fire.
I think that a guy is checking on his lamas while there is fire in the background
The alpacas are being watered by a woman
@Harambe I have many questions about this comment. A) why are we assuming this is a woman because I really just cannot tell, B) why are we assuming they are alpacas, and C) why are they getting watered? Maybe to prevent the fire?
There’s a guy a llamas
And a truck.
Red light and thick, dark smoke loom behind a herder presiding over a pen of llamas. The llamas huddle together, as if in fear, and the figure behind them carefully watches. The figure stays, despite the car in the background suggesting their ability to flee the fire. The llamas and mountainous background lead me to believe this scene takes place in South America, perhaps Peru? The fire approaches and even though the herder could leave at any minute, his llamas are too close to his heart to leave behind.
@Vivian I agree with your points, and I didn't think of this being in Peru! Nice job! (Also, the way you wrote this was very fancy and beautiful)
In this picture, it seems that the owner is trying to take care of the animals by cooling them down with water. There's a thick filter of dark orange and black smoke covering the sky, which implies that there is a fire close to them. Around the man's neck is a mask that could be used as a way to help with inhaling smoke. The llamas look afraid and weak, this is a sign that the fire is close and they are being affected, which is why the man is having to take care of them.
@Faith I agree with all of your points supporting the conclusion of the fire. I did not originally notice the body language of the alpacas, but that further supports the point of a fire. Based on all of these points I concluded that this was the a part of the Australian bush fires. What do you think about the possibly of this taking place in Australia?
@Faith I agree with you. The fires seems to be nearing the llamas and the house, and the owner is afraid of what is to come. I feel as though this situation could connect to many people, as they fear the impact of the fires.
In this image, a man attempts to save a group of animals from a fire. The animals are also trapped in a pen while there seems to be an impending fire in the background as a hazy, red smoke rises from the horizon. He sprays down a group of animals with water in order to protect them from some of the heat while he himself wears a mask and does not stray too far from his jeep because of the danger imposed by both the smoke and the fire. This image brings to mind the innate compassion that humans have, for even farm animals, in the face of hardship and strife.
@Tanner Do you think the alpacas are trapped? It looks like they were freshly groomed, so the person in the background could be watching over the alpacas. They may have been rounded up and put in a pen to ensure they do not run toward the fire. I do agree that there is an impending fire because the sky has an orange and red tint. I feel that this could be a picture of the bush fires in Australia.
@Tanner,
Thank you for your descriptive narrative. You're following similar speculations regarding fire being the cause of smoke and presenting danger. Your elaborations, referring to human compassion in the face of hardship and strife present an empathetic inference to consider, evoking emotion in our conversation here!
Keep looking, what more can you find?
In the photo, the farmer is observing the lamas that he has just groomed. The ten lamas are still standing tightly grouped together near the fence in a puddle of mud as if the farmer had just herded them together. Therefore, the farmer must have needed to get or do something with his lamas involving water which required them to be in a confined space in which they could not escape. Also, the lamas have fresh groves and drops of water in their fur as if it was recently, shaved, washed, and brushed. The lines in their fur indicated that it was recently messed with and the water has not had enough time to dry. Lastly, the farmer is still standing on the wall behind his lamas holding a hose connected to the house.
@Kate Robison *llamas
There is only one person in this picture. There are also around ten llamas or alpacas fenced inside the yard. I see an orange-colored hue in the sky as well as smoky air which tells me there is a forest fire happening. The man has a mask around his neck so he does not have to breath in the fumes. The picture is not taken in the best quality most likely because the smoke is messing up the clearness. There is a car in the background so the man may be trying to escape the fire. There is not really a distinction to where this is taking place, but I believe it is in a foreign country.
@KatieD AOSE,
Thanks for the details in your observations. You mention you believe this is taking place in a foreign country. What do you see that makes you think this? What more can you find?
This picture illustrates a wildfire in the forest happening in the background. I can infer this because the background goes from an golden orange/yellow to a gray, which reminds me of a fire giving off smoke. Additionally, the man is holding a watering hose above a group of llamas. He has the llamas inside of a fence in order to keep the llamas safe and together, and he is holding a watering hose to combat the fire, if necessary.
Although many comments speculate a fire the cause of what appear to be adverse climate conditions, several site alternatives. @Locke Stanton and @MB see a possible storm coming in, @usa infers a "foggy day", and @Charlotte AOSE notes a sandstorm.
Keep looking..... what more can you find?
In the photograph, there are a group of herded llamas with what are many signs pointing to an explosion, or a forest fire looming over the hills. The ominous man with what appears to be a gas mask supports the idea of a disaster occurring in the background. I believe that the picture was likely takin in Australia due to the recent news of horrific wildfires. I believe that the man will likely attempt to move the llamas to a safer environment to save their lives.
@Spenser Wood Why do you think that he supported the disaster?
The man is saying his last goodbyes to his llamas as the destructive Australian fires approach. I see the fire in the back nearing, and the man looks down at his llamas, presumably for the last time. I know currently many people are fleeing Australia, leaving loved ones behind because of the fires. I see the car ready to go, and the man has a gas protecting mask.
@connor doan Very good in-depth response Connor.
The impending doom of a fire looms over the alpaca farmer as they look over their flock on their countryside ranch. The is a creeping red smoke creeping in from the left side of the photo. This provides a feeling of imminent disaster waiting to reek havoc on the farmer's animals. Next, the farmer has grim posture and wields a hose. The viewer can't help but think that the farmer is less than optimistic about the lives of their alpacas, and might even hose them down to slow down their inevitable deaths.
In this photo, it appears that there is a fire happening in the background due to the smoke rising. As I looked at the photo I can tell it is on Australia due to the type of car you mostly see in Australia.
@Blake Johnson Very good connection to Australia Blake, I thought the same thing.
@Blake Johnson You definitely see cars in Australia
In this picture, it seems that an owner is overlooking his llamas to make sure that they are safe. There is a hose that may be used to help the owner keep the llamas safe from the possible fire behind him which explains the gas mask that will keep him safe from the smoke.
A South American person is looking at their animals before a dust storm. The photo reveals an incoming danger. The dark, ominous, dust cloud represents the danger. The unrest of the animals affirms that the storm is dangerous. It is possible that the storm is a fire, which explains why the person is holding a hose. The jeep is how the person will leave.
@Evan C. Did you consider this could be a picture of the bush fires in Australia? Alpacas are not native to Australia, but there are herds in Australia. The sky has an orange tint which suggests there is a fire in the background. There are definitely dangerous conditions that are causing unrest in between the animals. The jeep also indicates a rough terrain. With the jeep, the person is able to travel through hard conditions.
@Uliana AOSE It is possible that the picture is of Australia, but I believed that the photos were from articles in the past.
This could be the fires currently happening in Australia. The air and smoke in the photo look dangerous. The llamas (or alpacas?) fur seems to be matted down. The farmer at the top of the stone wall maybe sprayed them with water to make sure the llamas don't overheat. It seems like this woman owns these llamas and they might be used for a living. The grass looks yellow and gross from all the smoke and bad air, and there's a hose in the woman's hand.
In this photo, there appears to be a wildfire not far from this man’s house. The man is wearing a mask around his neck making me believe he is attempting to protect himself from something toxic in the air, smoke. The man is walking over towards his animals, who are huddled in the corner of their pin and whose hair stand ruffled on their back as if something is not right. The man plans to help his animals and then make his escape in his white car, which he has already pulled in front of the house, all ready to go.
I believe that the woman is spraying down the alpacas during a forest fire. Based on the architecture of the home and the Jeep, as well as past knowledge of California's forest fires, I assume this photo takes place in California. The haze and smoke clearly hint at a fire while the hose in her hand and the wet alpacas hint that she is spraying them off, maybe to cool them down.
In this picture, it seems like there's a forest fire happening in the back. I think that the man coming over to the llamas is going to move them to a different spot to save them. He seems to have a mask that is protecting him from the smoke. There's a Jeep in the back so that the man can leave quickly.
In this picture, it appears that there is a wildfire in the background of the scene. This could have been taken somewhere in California where there are often wildfires or somewhere in Australia with the bushfires. It could also be taken during a sandstorm, depending on where it was taken. The animals in the front could either be llamas or alpacas, and the person in the back seems to be taking care of them. They are wearing a doctor's mask around their neck, meaning that there could be smoke from the fires.
@Charlotte AOSE I agree with you that there is definitely some sort of extreme weather condition occurring; however, I can't agree with you that it would be a sandstorm. Despite the mask around the farmer's neck, I believe that in the event of a sandstorm, a human would require some sort of full face mask, and this mask would need to be worn on their face during the storm.
Color Photography Class
It looks like the apocalypse with the yellow lighting and the smoke in the background. A person is watering the grass area and there is a sprinkler in the yard. There are alpacas, maybe keeping them together if there is a fire somewhere. Maybe the fires around LA in California. There are hills in the background, the house looks like it could be newer. It also could be Australia.
The watchful owner keeps their focus on his diverse group of llamas in a secluded spot in the hills; he or she is watching them because there is some type of storm coming and he or she wants them to be safe. The farmer standing close to the llamas proves that they are the owner.
@Locke Stanton you sure them's are llamas
In this picture In someplace possibly in the desert, A man is trying to take care of the llamas since the weather conditions are bad and there is possibly a fire. I think this because of the smoke in the background and the colors of the Sky.
@skye I agree that the man is trying to figure out what to do. I also agree that there is a fire approaching.
there is a girl watering her animals with a hose on a foggy day. it makes me say this because i see that. i also see a house and a car.
@usa The person may be watering the animals. Do you think there is a fire approaching in the background? The sky is orange and there is smoke in the sky.
@usa I don't think it's foggy. You can see the air is orange, probably a fire.
This picture is taking place in Australia. I think this because the sky is orange and it seems that there is a fire. This person is saving animals from this wildfire. I know this because the animals that might be llamas are in a wired fence so that they cannot run away. This picture is set recently in Australia because there are wildfires currently going on there.
In the photograph published by the New York Times, a man saves a heard of baby llamas from a fire. I come to this conclusion from the man in the background of the picture who has a mask, and his entire body is covered in clothing perhaps to not be burned by the fire. In the photograph, the baby llamas look burned, fragile, and scared of the fire. This photograph captures the heroic deed of a mysterious man in a terrible fire.
@Klarissa I agree, and I think that the picture may have been taken in Australia.
This class thinks that the person is cooling down the llamas because there is a forest fire behind them. There is smoke in the background. We think this is either California or Australia because there have been fires in California and Australia lately. It looks like dry land and Australia is known to be dry. The fire is really large and looks like it could be going on for a long time.
the man is watching the lame will the storm comes in .
@MB I think you are correct and I love your analysis.
@MB I don't think it's a storm, the clouds look orange which would make a bizarre storm.
@Evan I could not agree more
There is a girl watering here animals on a foggy day. it makes me think this because there is clouds dirty ones and animals and water. i can also see a house and a car and rocks
In the New York Times photograph published on Monday, January 27, 2020 a farmer looks over their small herd of alpacas who have been neatly restrained by a thin metal fence as night falls. A red sun suffuses the scene with orange light through thick clouds, perhaps as it sets. The herded animals in the foreground have short, neatly sheared wool suggesting that the farmer cares immensely about their herd.
In this image from the New York Times' "What's Going On in This Picture," a young boy is comforting his llamas during the time that someone is coming to rescue them from the encroaching California or Australian wildfire. In the picture, a cloud of smoke and a yellowish tinted sky hovers just over the modern home and its hilly landscape. This shows that a fire is near and the landscape is similar if not identical to that of rural California or Australia. The llamas are huddling close to each other likely in fear of the event. The boy is standing there to comfort them and to ensure their saftey. This image likely shows what is notably happening in many parts of the world, including the Amazon, California, and Australia – uncontrollable wildfires.
@Olivia I agree. Nice analysis!
they are in a field.there is a house and a jeep.there is a farmer with lamas.
i think the guy is a llama farmer and he is trying to keep his llamas safe because it looks like there was a fire.it looks like he is in a very warm climate.it looks like a diffrent country because of the car maybe they are in Australia.there has been many wildfires in Australia.
6th grade newport middle school
there is a really good looking house and there are llamas and a girl standing there and a jeep and a sand storm and in there at the dessert
@Jason How do you know that it is a sand storm or that that they are in the desert?
We think the picture’s purpose is to spread awareness to those who do not know about the Australian fires. The sad expression and the orange tint of the sky all come together to give a very ominous vibe
it looks like an alpaca or llama farm
In this image published by the New York Times on January 27, it looks like wildfire is approaching a man's home in what looks like California. It looks this way because the smoke and light on the horizon and the alpacas are cooped up avoiding the fire.
They are most definitely not goats.
The photo appears to display a man that is washing the ash off of his llamas' coat in order to help them survive the Australian wild fires. This theory is due to the fact the background appears to be filled with smoke from a fire and he is holding a hose with the llamas back turned to him.
@Kee Shaper Very accurate summary of the picture Mr. Kee Shaper.
@Spenser Wood Thank you Mr. Spenser Wood.
In this photograph published by The New York Times on January 27, 2020 a man is saying his last goodbyes to his beloved llama’s.
We think this photo is of a wildfire in California. We think it is in CA due to the house design and the landscape, as well as the G-Wagon. We also notice the steering wheel appears to be on the left-hand side of the car. The woman appears to be spraying the llamas/alpacas with water, either to hydrate them or to protect them from the fire.
@Mrs Wagner's Class, thank you for your unique insights this morning. Many participants have conjectured the setting is Australia, You've made a persuasive argument for California based on specific details. Keep looking.
We think that the farmer is trying to keep the llamas hydrated. We think there is a fire because the sky is orange and filled with smoke. We also think this is in Australia during the recent wildfires. It may be Australia or Africa based on the type of car we see. The house also looks different from what see in the US. Perhaps the llamas are fenced in to keep them safe.
@Mrs. F's 8th Grade, thanks for participating in our facilitated VTS blog time today. @Mrs Wagner's Class has suggested the setting is California, based on the type of car, location of the steering wheel, and the house. How would you defend your assertion of the setting being Australia or Africa based on what details you observe?
@Mrs. F's 8th Grade, thanks for sharing your ideas this morning. You've offered assertions with evidence--fire: sky is orange, Australia or Africa: car, house. You have some questions about what is happening with the llamas. Keep looking. There is always more to see.
@VTS Moderator We are not sure that the steering wheel is on the left or right. It is not clear in the picture. California would be a good guess if it is on the left, however if it is on the right, Australia would be an educated guess. The students believe that this type of vehicle is not typically found in the US and therefore say Australia or Africa. We also observe that it appears to be dry which is typical in parts of Africa and Australia.
Thanks for joining in our facilitated VTS session today.
The comments today have centered around these questions:
What's the setting?
What's causing the haze?
What kind of animals are in the foreground?
Setting: @Carlee: Australia, @Oxford House: Bolivia, A7. ny times: Africa, @Olu: Peru,
Cause of haze: @Brynn: air pollution caused by fossil fuels, @7.ny times: a fire or a cloud at sunset, @Olu: cloud of dust, @Mrs. G 4th grade: sandstorm or fire
What are the animals? @JG: alpaca, 7.ny times: small camels, @Olu: llamas
What do you think? What evidence can you use to back up your assertion?
The smoke in the background leads me to believe this is australia near the fire. the llamas look terrified and the women doesn't even seem concerned. It's scary how people are just used to it.
@Eden, thanks for your comments this morning. I'm wondering what you see that suggests the woman may be indifferent to the situation? @Mrs. G 4th grade believes the woman is a farmer caring for her animals.
@Eden I agree that it is scary that the woman doesn't seem concerned.
@Eden I think she is concerned because she is risking her life by staying there, she just isn't panicking.
In this picture we see alpacas or llamas in a fence. It may be Australia because of the wildfires. It looks like smoke and the color of the sky seems filled with smoke. The person is holding a hose maybe to wet the alpacas/llamas. The animals look like they had just been shaved.
@Ms. Finch's 5F, thank you for posting your observations and speculations this morning. Australian wildfires have been in the news lately. What do you see in the picture that suggests Australia, rather than other locations posited this morning like Lima or Bolivia?
The woman seems to be watching over her llamas and spraying them down with water to clean them. I think the woman lives out in the country based on the bare open land.
@Jozlyn, thanks for your post. @Eden believes the woman is indifferent to the animals. What do you see that suggests that the woman cares about these animals?
This picture is on a ranch or a farm. There is a house in the distance that we think the person in the photo lives. We think it is hot where ever they are. There are llamas that are in a fence. They shaved their fur to keep them clean and to keep the dust off of them. The colors are gray and orange. We think they are this color because of a sandstorm or fire. There is a jeep in the picture. This makes it easy to go off-roads. The person using the hose is either giving them a bath or fresh water to drink.
@Mrs. Alexander's Class, thanks for sharing your ideas today. It's clear that you've examined the foreground, background, and mid-ground; looking for ways to connect the disparate parts of the image to create a cohesive narrative. You have the elements of a compelling story here. You've caught the "flavor" of the scene.
I think that there are fires going on in the background of this picture and it looks like the lady in the back is spraying something on the alpaca to keep them safe, the lady is also wearing a mask because of the smoke in the air.
@Nataliya, thanks for you additions to today's blog. Some people think the background haze may be caused by a sandstorm, steam, or pollution. What do you see that makes you say it's smoke caused by a fire?
In this picture you can clearly see there is a heavy amount of smoke in the air which makes me think there is some sort of wildfire going on. I think the woman in the picture is getting the alpacas wet to protect them from falling embers that might catch their coats on fire. I think this picture is taken in Australia possibly because of the fires going on there and the car in the back is sort of stereotypical of an Australia vehicle or what you would think of for their transportation.
@Madison, thanks for sharing your reflections on the image today. You've used evidence to back up your assertion that the setting is Australia. VTS is so stimulating because there's always more you can find. Keep looking.
@Madison I agree. Do you think that the person is wearing a mask to keep to their lungs safe from the smoke?
@Madison This is a really great answer! If the person is trying to protect them, then why don't they just try to get them out of there rather than wetting them?
It looks like there is a bad fire because there is smoke and its cloudy most likely from steam. This is happening to an alpacca farm because there are a lot of alpaccas and there is a man which I'm assuming is the farmer. I'm pretty sure they are in australia.
@Julia, thanks for looking and responding this morning. Many people have noticed the haze in the background. You've added the idea of steam. What do you see that makes you think steam is an element of the picture?
This picture is from the wild fires in Australia. They are saving alpacas from the fire by keeping them in a wired-fenced area. A person is watching them and behind them you can see the smoke from the fires.
@Carlee, thanks for looking and responding this morning. You've noticed the figure in the middle-ground. Take another look. What's going on with this person?
Good morning, NYTimes/VTS community. Another great image for careful looking and commenting. Remember to find the evidence for your ideas in the picture. Look at other people's comments and respond to them--makes for a more interesting time on the blog and stretches your thinking.
We think that there is either a sandstorm or a fire in the background and the farmer was protecting the animals. Maybe the farmer was taking the animals back to where they belong to protect them from the fire or protecting them by moving them away from where they are. We noticed there is smoke in the background by the trees. The person is wearing a mask to protect his whole face (mouth and eyes) from sand or smoke.
I think that what's happening in this picture is a man in trying to get his animals out of that area because there's a lot of smoke. This might be Australia, and you can also see smoke coming off the trees in the back.
@Kailey MacDowell Is there anything else besides the fact there's fire that leads you to believe that this picture was taken in Australia?
i think the llamas are surprised b the cloud of sand coming towards them. I'm inferring this just because they are looking up and around them and a cloud of something is coming towards them. This could be located in Australia or Lima
@Olu, thanks for your observations and assertions this morning. What specific things in the picture lead you to the supposition that the setting is Australia or Peru?
This picture is taking place in some sort of foreign country. The fumes in the air lead me to believe that it is taking place in a different part of the world where burning fossil fuels and air pollution is common, leading me to believe it could be taking place in India or other such. The animals being shown in a picture look to me like ones you would see at a petting zoo. I believe they are either Alpacas, or Llamas. These animals are also trapped in what looks like a very small fenced in area. They look underfed, shaved down for their fur, and overall saddened. I do not think these animals are being well cared for, and I think they are the only kind of animal present on this property. The woman standing in the back is spraying water on them probably to keep them clean. The woman is also wearing a mask to block out the harmful fumes.
@Brynn Hi Brynn, I agree that this picture could have been taken in another country. The llamas do look shaved down but maybe that's a good thing because of the fire, however, I do agree that they are probably not treated properly.
We think that this picture was taken in either Bolivia or Australia. We think the animals are Llamas and the woman is giving them a shower after they have been shaved. They look happy. The car makes us think that the house is far from the city. We think the sky is this colour because of either a fire or a sandstorm.
@Oxford House, thanks for joining the discussion today. What leads you to believe that Bolivia or Australia are the setting for this image. What specific elements lead you to believe this? Keep looking. There are always more things you can find.
@Oxford House I like the thought about it taking place in Australia mainly because of all the fires that have been taking place recently in Australia. This would work with the color of the sky.
We think that on this picture. The suffix is on the animals or the background. We think that the animals are small camels and the place is a camels breeder. In the background there is a fire or just simply a cloud with the sunset and you can see a half of a mountain. The scene is set in Africa or Ausztralia.
@7.ny times, thanks for sharing your observations and conjectures this morning. @Oxford House asserts that these creatures are llamas. What do you see that could back up your identification of these animals are small camels? What suggests that the location of this image is Africa or Australia?
A farmer is spraying water on their alpacas to protect them from embers from the bushfire nearby. I see the orange sky in the background that was so common in NSW over January and I see a person with a hose. She is wearing a mask to limit the effect of the smoke and I can see hills in the distance.
@JG I agree with your theory about the mask!
@JG, thanks for commenting today. You're connecting this image to current happenings in your part of the world. What specific details in the picture lead you to believe the individual is a farmer?
