Today’s Solutions: November 06, 2026

With billions of people subjected to some level of stay-at-home order over the past couple of months, the COVID-19 pandemic has delivered one of the most profound shared global experiences humanity has ever seen. That’s why photography social network Agora called out to its diverse community to capture the unique perspectives on this extraordinary worldwide lockdown.

That call was answered as over 15,000 photographs were submitted to the contest, with a top 50 selected by Agora, from which its members will vote on a winner. From the contemplative to the whimsical, these sublime images capture a thoroughly unique moment in history. Geographical, cultural, and linguistic differences disappear as people from all corners of the globe share similar experiences.

This is one of those stories you have to see to truly understand, so follow the link to see some downright incredible images captured during the coronavirus lockdowns.
