A military cadet applies lipstick before a National Day parade in Bucharest, Romania.

A ram travels in a rickshaw before a ram fighting competition in Lagos, Nigeria, and rainfall destroys a road in Gamba, Kenya. And Pope Francis is greeted by nuns during his weekly audience at the Vatican.

The selection was curated by Lisbon photographer Armando Franco.
