For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

As a geologist, those sedimentary layers turn me on so much

[–]ForSee__[S] 17 points18 points ago

This photo was taken by a women named Jodi during a hike in Australia. What you see before you is a Liasis olivaceus. Also known as an Olive python. One of the largest species of python. It is pulling a full grown Wallaroo up the side of the Canyon.

(A Wallaroo is any of three closely related species of moderately large macropod, intermediate in size between the kangaroos and the wallabies. The name "wallaroo" is a portmanteau of wallaby and kangaroo.)

[–]D0J0 2 points3 points ago

Those sedimentary layers look like they might contain some interesting fossils too (but I wouldn't want to disturb the snakes).
What is the name of this place?
I havea very foggy memory of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, in an area like this, diving into a cliffside hole after a big snake.

[–]roflafel 9 points10 points ago

Holy shit I almost didn't see that second snake

edit if you couldnt find the second snake i circled it here

[–]Meathe 4 points5 points ago

Second snake? I've seen this image a few times and never noticed a second one.

[–]wbaran 2 points3 points ago

Where do you see it ? I cant find the second snake.

[–]Meathe 2 points3 points ago

I didn't. I was wondering where roflafel saw the second one... Though having looked at it for a few minutes, I think he could be trolling.

[–]neven96 3 points4 points ago

You know... The one behind the person taking pictures... Just aming its bite perfectly... Australia

[–]Meathe 1 point2 points ago

Nah, mate, we've already checked for that bastard.

[–]LordWere 2 points3 points ago

what second snake?

[–]Simssega 1 point2 points ago

Sneaky bastard.

[–]LordEsteban 0 points1 point ago

Well played mate. Rot in hell.

[–]Haat 3 points4 points ago

Day 21: The hallucinations have been getting worse. As I traverse the canyon, the rocks become snakes.

This totally skeeved me out!

[–]TransientAnalysis 0 points1 point ago

Clever girl snake...would be pretty much impossible to see against those layers of rock.

[–]patlee73 0 points1 point ago

Damn nature, you scary!

[–]JesusCaramba 0 points1 point ago

Nope!!!

[–]jd333zy 0 points1 point ago

Terrifying...

[–]grenagesss 0 points1 point ago

In the bottom right corner, the edge above water, there's a section of rock that looks eerily similar to a skull.

[–]argosdog 1 point2 points ago

Yup, you can have the WHOLE continent to yourselves.

[–]ThePrincessWife 0 points1 point ago

NOPE!

[–]Tyrannosauruswrex 1 point2 points ago

I always think that maybe I'll visit Australia someday, but these pictures make it a big NOOOOPPEEE
