For an image subreddit with minimal rules, check out /r/images

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

A portion of the classic orange lights (from the high-pressure sodium lamps) are being replaced by a white light (from ceramic metal halide lamps).

A grant from the Department of Energy will cover the cost to replace the first batch, about 6.5% of the street lights in the city (that is about 16,250 of the 250,000 lights). This replacements will be made as the current lights fail and need to be replaced.

Depending on the performance of the new lights, the change could be expanded to include the rest of the street lights. That means that fantastic orange glow may shift to white.

You should post this to /r/chicago as well. This is dope!

Looks like Coruscant.

By far the coolest pic of Chicago, i'm in Logan Square - disappointed it seems to cut off north of Grand.

Scroll right. The street that is at the right edge of the image (running almost parallel to the edge of the frame) is North.

I flew across country two years ago and few above chicago during a lighting storm and it was truly one of the most beautiful sights I have seen.

Sometimes i think I'll just move to america and walk the streets at night, in awe :D

I fuckin' love this town.
