Well, this is another bizarre photo, but not as much as the last. The scene is a medical professional, three children, all wearing goggles, in a room full of blue light. It's a very odd scene, but this photo is documenting a feat of modern medicine. The blue light is actually UV radiation, and it's being used to simulate for the children the effects of the sun itself. This is because these children live in Lovosero, Russia, where the get no sun. Without it, they might not develop properly, since vitamin D is a large component of bone development. I think the combination of the bizarreness, the rich blue light, and the documentation make this photo quite unique and successful.
