Looking 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.

  • 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 had heard the concept art for Minas Tirith in the movies were based on it.

I seem to remember somewhere it was speculated (and this makes sense) that Gondor was a loose amalgamation of the Franks and the Roman Empire (specifically the Eastern), the Rohirrim were loosely based on Anglo-Saxons and the Haradrim being a loose amalgamation of the Moors and Ottoman. Minas Tirith was to represent Constantinople standing against the Ottoman threat to Europe for hundreds of years.

Awesome.

I still give it 10 years before it's half way submerged into the sea.

Wiki says it's been around for 1300 years, so I think it might last a while longer.

My parents stayed there about 6 or 7 years ago and they still rave about how beautiful it was.

If you want to see more of the castle, the film Mindwalk features two people just walking around the whole building and discussing philosophy.

I've been there several times over the last 8 years or so, I was convinced that Minas Tirith was drawn from it for the films and it was so cool to see in the Extra's DVD's that it actually was! Such a gorgeous place. My parents are going there again in a few weeks, wish I was going!
