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.

Vikings torching long ship at Up Helly Aa in Shetland Scotland. http://i.imgur.com/l9ur0.jpg

[–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out 2 points3 points ago

Those are real Viking helmets, not the horned ones which are a myth.

[–]rasputine 6 points7 points ago

not the horned ones which are a myth ceremonial or burial helmets.

[–]SansPoint 1 point2 points ago

They've only ever found one verified Viking helmet with horns.

...the only Iron Age helmet with horns ever to have been found anywhere in Europe

Iron Age

I wonder how many Americans are seeing this and pronouncing Edinburgh as EEDIN-BERG in their heads.

[–]Blueychocobo 2 points3 points ago

I'll admit, I did. How is it supposed to be pronounced?

[–]DownvotingRoman_ 1 point2 points ago

Eh-din-bur-uh

Note: "eh" like "meh", not the Canadian punctuation.

[–]jhphoto 1 point2 points ago

As an American I always knew there was an "Eh-din-bur-uh", but it took me a few years to put 2 and 2 together and figure out that it was Edinburgh.

[–]KingAlejandro 0 points1 point ago

Aw man, I was there last year. Watched them doing the parade down the street. Was an amazing sight.

[–]qazwsxedrfvtgb 0 points1 point ago

Can someone tell me the story behind this. Just feeling very stupid not knowing that the Scothish where vikings, or im really really stupid thinking they was at this monent. My mind is fucked

[–]Kenar405 2 points3 points ago

The Vikings invaded the British Isles (after the Romans, but before the Normans (who themselves where Vikings who settled in northern France)), and many of them eventually settled in Scotland, the north east and eastern England.

[–]neir 1 point2 points ago

Well said! Also, the Angles and Saxons came from what is now northern Germany/Denmark.
