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.

Most sand does not look like that. The photographer probably picked out the cool looking pieces from a handful of sand to get that amount of diversity. Pretty cool anyway.

Sand is actually a particle size.

This is 4x magnification, so I wouldn't call it a particle.

Sorry! I'm not a native English-speaker, so my vocabulary gets mixed up. I did not know that boulder counted as a particle.

It's okay, I am a native English speaker, and I didn't either.

I thought sand and I has stuff in common, but it turns out that sand is going places and expanding its spectral horizons while I'm back here with a uniform skin colour like a jerk.

In a Grain of Sand Credit: Yanping Wang Beijing Planetarium Beijing, China Bet you didn't know how shapely sand could be. These grains took 14th place in the 2011 Nikon Small World contest.

These are microfossils that you can find in sand but only make up a very tiny fraction of it.

I thought the sand was gonna look like a minecraft block.

I was wrong, but this is cooler.

Thank you for posting this. I haven't seen it in a week and thought it disappeared from existence. I am now relieved.

Look at it again, study each object and realize how stupid you actually are.

[–]Simco_ 3 points4 points ago

Why would this make me feel stupid?

I should feel stupid because this isn't a natural configuration?

Weird.
I must have made the mistake of thinking you two were replying to me when you replied to me.

What answer do you expect?

[–]Simco_ 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Whichever prompted you to have that idea.

[–]Gavekort 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Skepticism prompted my idea! If something is too good to be true, you check the facts and draw a conclusion!

What? You thing the average grain of sand looks like a claw, a gastropod shell and plants? Sources say that this is 4x magnification, so that claw you see there... Is not that small.
