Context is pretty important for many reasons. Nearly everything needs some sort of context. When it comes to photography, context gives a photo a purpose. It answers the who, what, where, when, and why of an image. This is important so that viewers aren't confused and bewildered with what they are seeing.
However, without context, some strange photos become similar to that of modern art. Some strange images become something quite amazing when they are posted with nothing to explain them. They might be strange, bewildering, shocking, or just a little eerie.

Here are 24 images that might leave some people with more questions than answers today.
