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.

I would never do this simply because I would freeze to death in fear that I would ruin the art.

[–]Osiris32 35 points36 points ago

I wouldn't do this because after you are done chopping a cord or two of fire wood, you're too tired to monkey about making it look awesome like this. You just stack it and go inside for hot chocolate.

[–]cheap_light_beer 2 points3 points ago

it's much better to get your firewood done during the summer while drinking cold beer

[–]HiFiWiFiSciFi 1 point2 points ago

I just chopped and stacked 8 chord last weekend... and it looks like 8 chord of chopped and stacked wood,.. so this.

[–]BICEPS 2 points3 points ago

Like when you're buying a new controller but still use the old one because you don't want to ruin the new one

[–]geekmansworld -2 points-1 points ago

I love it when I come to the comments to say something I think is clever and it's already the top comment.

Yay hivemind...

[–]just_quit_smoking 47 points48 points ago

I've always loved this one

[–]poesie 15 points16 points ago

That one is better in a way because you could take the logs away without feeling guilty about ruining the art. It also has thematic integrity.

[–]kyleyankan 4 points5 points ago

I like it cause it looks like a tree!

[–]poesie 0 points1 point ago

Yeah!

[–]Sip_py 0 points1 point ago

One point for using "thematic integrity"

[–]Wazowski 19 points20 points ago

Sadly this piece was destroyed by a fire. By a series of fires, actually.

[–]TheChosenOne013 15 points16 points ago

If this is you, you have the patience of a god. I hate stacking regular old wood piles.

[–]kungfu_kickass[S] 7 points8 points ago

Ha... no.. definitely not me. Found on the internet. The only info I got from the picture caption was, "Yes, this is the wood they use for the winter."

[–]Syphor 10 points11 points ago

http://www.greatfallstribune.com/article/20121009/NEWS01/310090001/Around-Region-Monarch-man-creates-works-art-from-wood-piles for some more information! It's hard to see in the posted photo, but the talons on the owl actually stick out, too.

[–]kungfu_kickass[S] 5 points6 points ago

Thank you! I actually had no info and was wondering. Well done.

[–]PlasmaBurns 15 points16 points ago

That really strikes a cord with me.

[–]log_ladys_log 3 points4 points ago

plasmaboo-urns.

[–]moeztree 6 points7 points ago

I have piled wood my whole life, and never once thought to do this. You are a champion amongst wood stove users.

[–]EightySixxed 35 points36 points ago

That's one good looking faggot.

[–]Abnormal_Armadillo 10 points11 points ago

I could have swore a faggot was a bundle of sticks, not a bundle of wood. In either case, it isn't bundled together, it's stacked, so is it spot the homo time?

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Abnormal_Armadillo 3 points4 points ago

Well I do like me some nice cock.

Here, have some more cock, we always need more cocks.

[–]thehindujesus 5 points6 points ago

People need to stop doing things like this. Every time I see a new piece of amazing art made from something you wouldn't expect, I am reminded just how untalented I am.

[–]SKEETS_SKEET 3 points4 points ago

All I could think was: IAintGotTimeForThat.gif

[–]rareas 2 points3 points ago

I bet you aren't untalented, you've just never tried. I bet.

[–]rareas 5 points6 points ago

I'm torn between: god that's so cool to god I hope I never find myself with that much spare time on my hands.

[–]new_american_stasi 4 points5 points ago

Life is wasted on slaves like you, get back on that hamster wheel and run. You seek distraction here, then must rush about over there. Do you fear silence and the gift of purposeless time because it will inform you of the hollowness of your own life? Come hither, I'll chain you to this cubicle of mine, while I escape to do NO THING.

[–]mattmcinnis 1 point2 points ago

yikes.

[–]rareas 1 point2 points ago

I see where I led you. Actually, I love quiet time. I will walk out of a party into the solitude and observe from afar. I love doing that. Taking stock. This isn't that. This is a restless creative energy that will consume its vessel if not dampened. That's what I'd like to avoid. When I do nothing. I really do nothing.

[–]Kimalyn 4 points5 points ago

But... now you need more wood. Cause you're not going to use this wood right? right?

[–]IcarusPenn 3 points4 points ago

The owls are not what they seem...

[–]pipe1234 1 point2 points ago

And fire is the devil hiding like a coward in the smoke.

[–]A_Wild_Missingno 3 points4 points ago

Hoot hoot, did you get all that?

>[No] [Yes]

[–]lazyduke 2 points3 points ago

Burn it with fire!

[–]Eldrahir 3 points4 points ago

No, let's use water.

[–]cmpb 2 points3 points ago

Truly amazing!

[–]qwaykee 2 points3 points ago

Not that relevant but;

The Norwegian King and Queen

[–]eXeHoward 0 points1 point ago

Its REALLY relevant.

[–]qwaykee 0 points1 point ago

well. it's painted by the old guy on the right, so it's not really the same style. still impressive though

[–]Camouflage_Cat 1 point2 points ago

Poor bastard is going to freeze. No way he could use this for the fireplace!

[–]pdnext 0 points1 point ago

Now how do you burn it? It's so pretty.

[–]drunk_dean_martin 1 point2 points ago

hoot hoot motherfucker

[–]SeabgfKirby 0 points1 point ago

The owl sort of looks like a beaver.

[–]Bumblemeister 0 points1 point ago

Is that Slender Man entering from stage right?

[–]bassblair11 1 point2 points ago

Fly by Night!

[–]Yeah_I_Did_It 0 points1 point ago

At first I thought it was just the owl, and then I noticed the rest of the scene. Wow.

[–]Florpz 0 points1 point ago

CLOCKWERK

[–]forsstromftw 1 point2 points ago

Remember that it is not what is seems.

[–]verbalpunchingbag 0 points1 point ago

spider party!

[–]log_ladys_log 1 point2 points ago

i do declare, this owl is not what it seems.

[–]Ampleslacks 0 points1 point ago

Jesus Christ, who has that much energy after cutting all that wood?

[–]Snufffaluffaguss 0 points1 point ago

[–]drblacko 0 points1 point ago

Did you notice the axe?

[–]dukeeduke 1 point2 points ago

There is trouble in the forest, And the creatures all have fled, As the maples scream "Oppression!" And the oaks just shake their heads.

[–]Dr_Zin 0 points1 point ago

I was hoping for a Rush reference. Wrong album, but still...

[–]ZeroGSpaceCow 1 point2 points ago

There are at least 14 black widow spiders in this picture.

[–]chronikfunk -1 points0 points ago

Ugh a- holes finally a neighbors woodstack i saw last week story of my life. See reddit karma and never act on it. Welcome to my life.

[–]Reace66 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one that noticed the tree dick?

[–]off_riding_a_broom 0 points1 point ago

This just makes me think of all the times my dad yelled at me to stack a neater pile.

[–]TonyDiGerolamo 0 points1 point ago

Wow. Now wouldn't you feel like shit for having to use some of that to light a fire?

[–]LegosRCool 0 points1 point ago

As a kid who stacked wood growing up, please don't give dads any more ideas.

[–]ketdizzle 0 points1 point ago

this is owlfully creative...impressed

[–]SmittyAR 0 points1 point ago

This should become a "thing", like, a competitive "thing" where people get together around the world and put in submissions of their wood pile art. And there's judges and everything.

That's the world I someday want to live in.

[–]SpaghettiSandwich 0 points1 point ago

From having a woodpile as a kid, all I can think about is how many mice are living in that pile.

[–]dialpopcornfortime 0 points1 point ago

and black widow spiders.

[–]dialpopcornfortime 0 points1 point ago

Awesome. Looks like the art lover will be freezing his butt off this winter. It would have to get pretty cold before I started taking that apart.

[–]latinagringa2121 0 points1 point ago

The more I looked at it....THE MORE THINGS APPEARED.

[–]btribble 0 points1 point ago

The use of spray paint is cheating.

[–]King-of-Spades42 1 point2 points ago

okay it is beautiful but it would look SO COOL on fire

[–]LikeWhite0nRice -1 points0 points ago

Why!?

[–]EcstasyMan 0 points1 point ago

A graphic of chopped wood, made from chopped wood. SO META

[–]Raherin 0 points1 point ago

Owoodly owl? Ya rly!

[–]wolfgangkid 1 point2 points ago

We got so much style here in Missoula county

[–]The_A_Drain 1 point2 points ago

For a moment I thought this was mothman, was about to freak out.

[–]PizzaPits 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else think of the album art for "Fly By Night" by Rush?

[–]skeebknot 0 points1 point ago

I hear that song "too much time on my hands"

[–]busted_up_chiffarobe 0 points1 point ago

This was in several Montana papers last week. Good stuff.

[–]superxero044 0 points1 point ago

Kill it with fire.

[–]darklab 0 points1 point ago

I hate how images of homeless people are getting more upvotes than something as wonderful as this

[–]PROUDgrizHATER 0 points1 point ago

Great falls MT I believe

[–]philycheezestake 0 points1 point ago

I'd like to see one with Slenderman, although that might be a little too creepy

[–]dont_ask_me_again -5 points-4 points ago

Art?

Someone with too much spare time and has the ability to put wood on top of wood..

[–]PizzaPits 0 points1 point ago

You could say that about any form of art.

Example: Art?

Someone with too much spare time and has the ability to put paint on a piece of paper..
