25 Stunning Photos of Huge Crowds of People

With the world’s huge population (7,313,527,932, to be exact), forming a huge crowd isn’t all that hard. In cities with a high population density, you’d see a huge crowd every day during rush hour or when there’s a sale at a mall. In other cases, you might encounter a huge crowd when there’s an important event happening like a major exam or an attempt at a Guinness record.

Majority of the pictures of huge crowds below are the latter but there are also a couple of crowd photos that, even if there’s not a lot of order, there is still beauty to be found.
