Thanks to the marvelous technology of photography, we have the ability to see images from around the world, and across recent history. Those photographs tell a story, and because of the internet, we get the opportunity to see and share those stories with people around the world. Thanks to the r/pics subreddit, anyone can share their fantastic photos and the story that goes with them. Here are 22 fascinating photos of cool and historical happenings. 


There are few sights more spectacular than Times Square in New York City. It is a sight to behold; a complete sensory overload of people, lights, billboards, businesses, and street performers. But what does that look like on a foggy night from above? That's what one person got to see, sitting on a ledge above it all. Because of the fog, the lights and colors all blended together for a fever dream of peace above the most chaotic place in the world. 


Peace is what one group of cave explorers thought they would be getting when they entered under the assumption that the bear that occupied it was hibernating. But as one terrifying photo shows, the bear was not asleep. Check out those, and other cool fascinating photos.
