Giant gibbon and flying cows: 16 of the most absurd and strange photos of 2021 (17 photos)

Audrey Hepburn at a table in a cafe, a gymnast performing an incredible trick, or the Pope with Spider-Man - these photographs definitely deserve to be the most absurd photographs of the year.





We probably expected that 2021 would be marked by victory over the pandemic and life returning to normal. Alas, this did not happen, but something else happened: we learned to live in all this. And, it seems, they are completely accustomed to having a mask always at hand, and “remote work” and “quarantine” no longer sound so scary. However, there were a lot of strange things in the past year. We invite you to immerse yourself in these memories and look at the strangest photographs taken in the past year.
