Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

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.

The very well known default background picture of Windows XP "Bliss" was taken by Charles O'Rear in 1996. In November 2006 the exact same location in Sonoma Valley was visited by project Goldin+Senneby. Name of the new photograph is "After Microsoft".

it would be more amazing if the photographer would distribute a high res image... or at least one that fits more common desktop resolutions of 2006. When was the last time you saw a computer shipped with a default res of 800x600?

It's like XP itself! If you don't reformat once in a while things will grow everywhere.

I'm really confused by this image...people keep acting like it's somehow turned bad/not as lush since the first image, but it just looks like a different season to me and little to no post-processing.

question: was the first photo shopped? there is no way the trees in the background grew that size in ten years.
