I didn't ask for what church it was, exactly, Chimaera, which leads me to believe that you searched the pictures source webpage. If you did, please don't do it in the future. It ruins the fun and challenge. But, still, good work. Here's the next picture:

What can you tell me about the person who works in this cubicle/office (It may be a home office.)? List everything that you deduce.

The person has back problems, and needs to exercise on a rubbers ball (or he just hates chairs).
The person likes to play video games, especially the racing kind. He has multiple computers; one for gaming and one for work related stuff.
The person obviously spends a lot of time sitting in front of his desk, he even purchased a special keyboard which is soft for your wrists.

He might be a gym trainer or fitness instructor of some sort. Those balls are used to keep the upper back strong and stabalized well, unlike sitting in chairs where you can slouch and ruin your posture. If he's not a fitness instructor, he's either a health freak or someone who just has a standard lower back problem. If he is however a health instructor, i'd say he's working on files, writing up articles on fitness, writing up a routine for someone etc. If he's just a standard bloke with a back problem, god knows at this point. Any tips?

I can also notice pedals under the desktop, plus the back problems the other already said... With all those specialities (weird keyboard, rubber ball, pedals) I'd say this guy must be paraplegic or something like that.

Ergonomic keyboard, gym ball and a large monitor. This is someone who's tried to make his workspace as comfortable and as efficient as possible.

The pedals and the size of the font on the monitor mean he's probably not physically or mentally disabled, but the conversion of his office says he either has a lot of spare time to research and understand ergonomics or he works in the field.

It's also possible that he's suffered an injury and rearranged his workspace, but the clutter implies this is a regular thing for him.

Also in regards to your cheating claim, Trinity Churches are world famous, the image you posted had snow and was in the mountains, so that's France, Antarctica, Alaska or Russia; I'm aware that the Russian Orthodox is strong faith within the culture, a quick Google search of "Trinity church Russia" gives that link as the first result.

I apologize for accusing you of cheating, Chimaera. I found the picture through another source. Everyone generally got the last picture correct. The office/cubicle is definitely owned by someone who is really into ergonomics, or some who has back or postural problems. One thing not mentioned is that the person may be suffering from carpal tunnel, which explains the wrist guards on the keyboard. Here is the next picture:

What going on in this picture?

Deduce everything you can about the wearing the pink hat.

Deduce everything you can about the woman with the red hair (The one being embraced).

This is a marathon, or a fun-run.
The lady in the pink hat is a runner, she's tired from running, I think. I don't believe she has any relation to the people in the background.
The woman being embraced, she's being embraced either for finishing the race or being unable to continue.
Well, that's my interpretation. (At first I thought it was the Boston Bombings)

Judging from the shoes and attire, it has something to do with running.
The woman that's being embraced won the race since not much people give a fuck about her.
The woman in white walking seemed to lost the race or is tired.
I don't get what those things on the road are. Probably prizes or giveaways or confetti or something.

Damn, I don't think I know how to deduce. I wish you put the way how Sherlock deduces. I don't really know how he does it.
I'm more fond of Edogawa Conan than Sherlock Holmes, although Conan's inspiration 'is' Holmes.

Yes, a three day bump. Wooh.

This appears to be a walk for Breast Cancer, judging by all the pink. The woman in the pink hat is most likely still walking, though she appears exhausted. The woman being embraced has given up. She's collapsed in the other woman's arms and the other two women are rushing to help her. This photo was taken near the middle or end of the walk. A sign of this is all the cups (those are cups Fordz, not certificates and whatnot) strewn about the ground, clearly trampled over by a few hundred people. This is is how it appears to me at least.

Almond and Saf got parts of it. Oh, and Fordz, I've attached two PDF documents that give a pretty good explanation of of the basics of deductive reasoning. Now, this next picture is going to require A LOT of logical thinking and reasoning. You are reeaaallly going to have to think hard.

In fact, I'm declaring this next picture to be an official challenge to every moderator who sees this: Bring it.
Oh, and, remember that you cannot look up the picture's source information, or original website. You are to deduce everything, only looking at the picture.

Okay, here it is:

Deduce everything you can about this picture. I want to know why, how, where, etc. Tell me everything you deduce.

There is more than 1 fridge, so that would mean that it was taken in an appliance store. The parent(s) was/were looking for a new freezer, and thought it would be funny to take a picture of their child in the freezer open.

Obviously this is a DIY cryogenic freezing experiment. These people are possibly on the verge of a breakthrough.

There is more than one appliance, meaning that the appliances are either on display or in a storage room. Considering that there is no one in the image that appears to be walking around (and no one is acting surprised that there is a baby in the appliance) as well as the fact that in the top left corner there seems to be a lack of organization suggests that this is not a public area. The rack inside seems to be shifted a little, which may suggest that this appliance has been used before. The lack of organization, lights, and ramp in the top left may indicate that whoever comes in here does so frequently. The baby is smiling, so he's probably enjoying this. He's wearing a weird shirt and his hair is combed. This combination of attire suggests that he is there with purpose, which means the room is of importance or whatever he is doing is of importance.

That's as much as I'm able to get out of that picture. Can't come to a conclusion.

Lagant got it right. This picture was taken at a Lowe's appliance store. There are multiple large appliances, and they are all off, which means that they are on display. The picture was taken by the child's mother. But, there are a lot of things that no one got:

The reason the person who took this photo was there in the first place is because she, and a at least someone else, probably her husband, were shopping for appliances. Now, how do I know that her husband was there, you're probably wondering. Well it's obvious. The women wouldn't go shopping for large appliances, by herself, with her toddler. She would need someone with her to, at least, watch her son, if not help move the appliances that she was planning on buying.

Also, you might be wondering how I know that the woman was planning on buying a freezer (or at least, a large appliance). Well, the freezer that the baby is in is a Holiday brand freezer. Holiday brand freezers are a much less popular brand than Frigidaire, which btw is the most commonly sold brand of refrigerators and freezers. Therefore, the Holiday brand freezers would be farther back in the appliance section. In fact, it appears that this particular freezer is at the end of the display, because to the left is a back walkway to the appliance section, and, most likely, the back wall of the store. If you've studied how most large store companies layout there merchandise, this would make sense. This would also account for the lack of organization that Raptor mentioned. Now, the only reason that she would be at the back of the appliance section, is if she was, in fact, looking to buy appliances, and not something else.

Oh, and, Raptor, the shirt that the baby is wearing is a pink polo. It's a rather common style of attire for boys and men, of all ages.
