This Week's Biggest Moments in 25 Photos

Another week has come and gone, giving us stories of triumph, loss and enduring spirit. But the days go by so fast we might not get a chance to truly process it all. Take the time now to reflect on the week's biggest moments through the beautiful photographs that captured it.

This week saw the death and funeral of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, and the funeral of 20-year-old Mahmud al-Jaziri, who was shot during clashes between police and protesters in Bahrain.

This week also saw the 115th birthday of the world's oldest woman, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It was a week of sport and fashion -- you'll see images from Fashion Week in Paris, the 71st Paris-Nice cycling race and the Auckland Trotting Cup in New Zealand. You'll see signs of the changing times: a new president in the Czech Republic, and an advanced android at a demonstration in Germany.
