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.

Looks like the set for Logans Run

[–]schuylercat 1 point2 points ago

My thoughts. Looking for Peter Ustinov and his cats.

[–]CylonbabyLiam 12 points13 points ago

Not real, here's the artist's gallery, her name is Lori Nix

Thank you for doing what the OP was too much of a coward to do.

[–]lVlINTY 1 point2 points ago

aw..... :(

[–]CarChaseCity 1 point2 points ago

They had a lot of her work in the Toledo Museum of art for a few months. It was awesome.

What is this?! A get-away spot for ants?

[–]rogugu 2 points3 points ago

Is there internet access?

[–]pussifer 2 points3 points ago

As SimilarImages automatically posted, this is not new (though it IS really cool). This is one image in a series by a female photographer. They are all sets she constructed. I know I'm not delivering fully here, but I can't seem to find a link to her work. Pretty impressive stuff, IMHO.

[–]cineimmune -1 points0 points ago

What is this a set for? Looks great. Kudos to the production designer, set designers and dressers.

[–]XTBIYU 0 points1 point ago

Holy smokes, looks amazing.

[–]joesss 1 point2 points ago

You wouldn't believe me if I told you,but I actually wrote an essay on this exact picture a year ago.I'm not sure if I still have it though

[–]Ent_angled 1 point2 points ago

I like how the tree in the center and the space around it have separate lighting than the available light coming in from the windows and ceiling.

[–]Haffnaff -1 points0 points ago

I feel like I need a tetanus shot just from looking at this picture. 0/10 would not relax in

[–]pgc 1 point2 points ago

That is actually a hyper-realistic miniature set. I know this because the artist came to my university with her work. It was pretty cool.

[–]LethalPoopstain -1 points0 points ago

Looks like a place where the weeping angels from doctor who would be at.

[–]mannimarco53 0 points1 point ago

Instantly recognized this as the cover art for the Nebular Spool album Ruins. Really chill electronic music. Available for free here.

[–]DaveSilver 2 points3 points ago

I am amazed at that since this is also the cover to Fountains of Wayne's Sky Full of Holes album.

After looking into this a bit I discovered it's not very uncommon and has even happened with Fountains of Wayne before.

[–]Surf_Ninja 0 points1 point ago

dat repost

[–]Git28 0 points1 point ago

I can't find any pictures of it, but it looks almost exactly like the original Denison University library. It burned down in the 20's, but has that look to it.

[–]B0BX 1 point2 points ago

This photo was used as a cover for a Fountains of Wayne album

"its only a model!" SHHHHHHHH!!!

[–]wikkedwhite 0 points1 point ago

movie stage?

[–]just_defy 0 points1 point ago

Idk looks kinda dangerous

[–]thebigtwig 0 points1 point ago

All I was thinking was from "Twilight Zone" the episode called "Time at Last" and he breaks his glasses. "It's not fair, it's not fair". Such a good picture.

[–]eganaught 1 point2 points ago

where is this, it is beautiful, I want it.

[–]hop208 1 point2 points ago

This can't be real. The library is too intact even with the hole in the roof. Looters and scrappers definitely would have combed threw the place by now, and yet there isn't a book out of place and paintings are still on the walls. Other parts of the building like the 2nd floor balconies would have started collapsing or at least deteriorating and there isn't enough light for trees that big to exist in there. Not to mention the building would have to have been abandoned for decades for the roof to open up like that and another few decades for the trees to grow to that size.

[–]selfintersection 3 points4 points ago

Looks like a miniature to me.

[–]pussifer 1 point2 points ago

That's because it is.

[–]bored_on_the_web -1 points0 points ago

Plus the books are all in really good condition considering the exposure to the elements and there aren't decades worth of leaves from the trees on the floor.

[–]ImArchMageBitch 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the library in the original devil may cry.

[–]Mako565 0 points1 point ago

My first thought as well.
