• Reuters releases a collection of the oddest pictures photographers take each year.
• In 2020, some photos in the series depict odd ways the coronavirus altered our lives with inventions like a plexiglass bubble and a hugging station.
• Other pictures are optical illusions, like a child scooting over an artwork depicting a swimming pool. Another kid appears to be floating over Bangkok.
• There are also images that simply captured unusual moments, like a man driving down a highway with dozens of geese perched on top of his car.

Each year, Reuters releases a collection of mind-boggling photos. Its 2020 series is full of bizarre images.

Of course, the coronavirus pandemic is a big part of this year's collection, with some photos featuring face masks and plexiglass - things that would have confused people a year ago, and that have become part of our new normal in recent months.

Reuters also threw some optical illusions into the mix. These photos are so perfectly framed and timed that they look unreal. For example, one image shows a kid on a scooter on what looks like water, though it's really a piece of art on the floor.

Other photos in the series highlight unusual things you don't see every day, like a green puppy named Pistachio and a skateboarding dog.
