What does the first photo show?

Each photo has an “alt text” attached to it. The first reads, “Two people hold hands as they run down a city sidewalk, trailing a piece of flowing red fabric. The sun sets behind them, with a gas station and beige and white buildings in the background."

The second one says, “Three dancers in form-fitting bodysuits strike a synchronized pose on a concrete surface, facing away from the camera. The image is in black and white, with a backdrop of dense trees and a clear sky.”

What does the third photo show?

The third explains, “Four skateboarders are captured mid-action at a skatepark. The two in the foreground skate down a ramp, while one sits on the edge in the top left, watching. The fourth skateboarder walks across the top of the ramp with their board in hand.”
