Sometimes there is more to a photo than the eye can see or the mind to grasp. Try to guess the what, why and how in each of these images from recent news stories.

Hint: The subject of this photo is NOT a rolling stone gathering moss. And it's not Swamp Man of comic book lore.

It's a religious procession.

Hombres de Musgo or "Moss Men" take part in the Corpus Christi procession in Bejar, Salamanca province, Spain, June 2, 2013.

The tradition, which dates back to 1397, originates from a legend involving Christians reconquering the town by entering under cover of darkness covered in moss to camouflage themselves from the Muslim guards. This tradition merged with the Corpus Christi procession in the 14th Century.

A surreal vision in black and white.

Hint: These wings have no feathers.

It's art!

Name that critter.
