Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Fantastic photo! Nature can be so unreal sometimes... So unreal, it's real.

[–]primatesandme 0 points1 point ago

One of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed was from an airplane looking out onto a massive thunderstorm in the clouds at night. Turned up some Beethoven--felt like I was in Fantasia.

[–]ExecutionerMiralda 1 point2 points ago

This reminds me of one of my favorite flights in my life. I was little, and my mother and I were headed home. I don't remember what exactly, but something went wrong. As it often does when you're flying, that one thing escalated into many more, resulting in multiple gate changes and a delay of 7 hours. It felt like forever to me then. The airline gave everybody a $1 McDonald's voucher. sigh Anyway, we ended up flying around sunset in one of those big planes that have a section of seating in the middle, along with the regular seating set by the windows. I was a sad little kid because I was in the middle instead of my regular window seat. My sadness was compounded - the plane flew into a storm! And I couldn't see :( I was practically dancing in my seat trying to see, and was very upset that I wasn't at that window! Then, all the adults in the row of seats by the window noticed my dilemma, and were kind enough to sit back as far as possible to let a child watch lightning light up the pink and red clouds. It was so nice that they even cared - everyone was cranky and stressed out. I didn't take my eyes off that window for a long time, and they made sure I could see it all. I will always remember that moment of happiness and gratefulness, and the wonder of the beauty of being inside the storm, turbulence and all. It almost made the whole fiasco worth it :)

That is a righteous cumulonimbus cloud, totally wicked pic!

[–]ExecutionerMiralda 0 points1 point ago

I really like that you used a scientific term and described it with the colloquialism "righteous."

[–]ooakey 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of something I saw sitting on a dock in Belize. amazing shot!

[–]mattbluesman 0 points1 point ago

[–]spagent 1 point2 points ago

Is that Mufasa?

[–]alfiekong 0 points1 point ago

I saw something similar from the view of a plane. The huge clouds were just lighting up.

[–]JeebusChrist 0 points1 point ago

I need this for the background of my phone.
