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.

Where IS that?

I'm pretty sure it's one of the small islands that make up the Westman Islands south of Iceland. I've spent some nights on one of those small islands, Bjarnarey. Beautiful place!

lol, i didn't even see your post before I made mine. I think this island might not be the one we are thinking of. The coast looks a little bit different from the one's you and I posted. That place is indeed one of the most beautiful places I have ever laid my eyes upon.

Yes, your pic is of Bjarnarey. The one in the post is Elliðaey, which I think (if I'm judging the position correctly) would be the island that we can see a piece of on the left side of your pic.

Isn't it a puffin hunting lodge or something?

Faroe perhaps?

Sure looks like it. This reminds me of a small island I saw last summer in the westman islands off of the south coast of Iceland.

It's in Iceland

I think that was the island that was given to Bjork.

That is Bjork's house. For serious.

No it's not. Many misunderstandings, false rumors, etc. here. About ten years ago there was talk of allowing Björk exclusive rights to an island of the same name, Elliðaey, in an entirely different part of Iceland, in Breiðafjörður which is along the West coast. The island in the post is near the South coast and is, as many have pointed out, one of the Westmann Islands.

Regarding the whole Björk and her island thing, she never got exclusive rights to the island and never purchased it.

Ah. TIL. When i "learned" that fact is was on TMZ or something I found to be reputable.

The guy already living there would probably be annoyed if you landed on his lawn...

On a related note, I saw on the news that the National Geographic Channel actually made a house fly with balloons for a show called "How Hard Can it Be" photos
