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.

                Love that. To the world - an inconic moment was created just a few moments later. To four guys, it was just another minute of life before they took a picture. Nervous. Fidgety. Making sure clothes and hair are straight. Normal people getting ready to take a picture, not completely unlike what goes on in Sears' Photo Galleries all around the country everyday. Well....maybe a little different than that.

                except for the iniconic. What made them iconic, tho, is their music and world wide music changing appeal. Instead of drivel, the Fab four gave us honesty, creativity and insight. Otherwise, it would have been 4 musicians crossing a street.

                    I see it a different way, and I find the way you see it odd.

                    What I find interesting is that this is a photograph, not at all unlike the one taken a few moments later. The difference is one I have seen a hojillion times, the other, once.

                      He doesn't enjoy the band who released the album. He probably didn't like pop at all. Or rock. Or anything other than classical.

                      I haven't listened to an album by Skrillex, and I do not plan to. I know that I won't enjoy it, just like this man knew he wouldn't enjoy this particular album.

                      You wouldn't listen to Skrillex if you were accidentally photographed in the album cover, and that album (and the cover photo) went on to be internationally iconic, and you had the greater half of your life to listen to it just to see what the fuss was about.

                      OK. You're that cool.

                      No, I wouldn't. I know what I like, and Skrillex is not something that I like. I've heard maybe five or six songs by him. I'd think that's enough to determine that I hold absolutely no interest for wasting more time on it.

                      It's such a cool and interesting story (accidentally making it onto such an iconic cover) that it only seems normal to want to explore a little further into that serendipitous moment, at least by sampling their music. Whether or not he enjoys their genre is beside the point, obviously. The fact that he doesn't want to is fine, but when he uses the term "kook" to describe the Beetles, he opens himself up to the same criticism for his idiosyncrasies.

                                For those who don't get the reference, William Campbell is a name from a conspiracy theory involving the death of Paul McCartney in 1966. Campbell was the winner of a McCartney look-a-like contest, and was subsequently hired as a "Fake Paul" to cover up McCartney's alleged death and keep The Beatles going.

                                There's a documentary on this urban legend called Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison?, and it is one of the weirdest experiences you can have if you're under the influence of mild hallucinogenic drugs.

                                Worst George Harrison voice impression ever. It's just not credible. Sounds like an American doing an impression of a scouser. He misses so many details I cannot believe anybody believes this.

                                        They're so funny. But I always wondered, are they voiced by the real Beatles or impersonators?

                                        They honestly don't even sound like the Beatles, besides the accent (I'm not even sure that's Liverpudlian), so I wouldn't even call them impersonators. EDIT: that one vulture definitely sounds like Ringo, though.

                                        There's something to be said about animation that is hand drawn frame by frame. I see more soul in this kind of art than the movies you mention, though they do look visually impressive.

                                        I think it has more to do with style rather than the fidelity of the image.

                                          TIL that Disney's The Jungle Book came out in 1967, when The Beatles were still together.

                                          I read somewhere that Disney wanted the Beatles to be in The Jungle Book, but Lennon wanted no part of it. Not sure if this is true or not.

                                          This almost the last occasion that all four Beatles were together, save for mixing I Want You (She's So Heavy) 12 days later on 20th August 1969. And then that was it. They were never played together, or were even all in the same room together ever again.

                                            He took them off like 30 shots in as he got tired of them. The only thing exaggerated here is my number- many alternatives in the beatles anthology book where he has sandals on.

                                                  That's one main reason why I love The Beatles. Obviously for their music and for all that went on behind the scenes during their career.

                                                  Earlier in the day he crashed out a drum roll when she came in the studio with a tray laden with tea.. It shocked her and caused the spillage. She was unimpressed. He laughed.
                                                  Paul Mc seems greatly amused at Ringo's discomfort.

                                                      Specifically, August 8, 1969. For a little perspective, this was two weeks after the Apollo 11 astronauts returned from the moon and one week before the a bunch of hippies got together at a place called Woodstock.

                                                        I really like the photo of John and Paul laughing together. It really cuts through all the star power and gives you a chance to see them as regular everyday chaps, friends even.

                                                        Can confirm. Used to cross there every day. I'm in many photo's and Japanese documentaries.

                                                        I believe the actual crossing from the photo no longer exists, as it was moved down the road a bit. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall reading that somewhere.

                                                        Unlikely. There's only one crossing, and it's right outside the studio. A lot of people have their pictures taken going the opposite direction, or just doing something stupid, purely for the purpose of having their picture taken. Check this out and have a look at the stills. The webcam is on the outside of the studio points the opposite direction to the original photos.

                                                        More than one zebra crossing yes, but people would have to be pretty stupid to go across the wrong one - the correct one is right outside the studio and has countless people constantly crossing it at all times. I've almost hit someone even at 3am jumping into the road there with their friends taking a picture.

                                                        It's just really distinctive. If you've made the effort to get to the Abbey Road studio, chances are you're quite familiar with the album artwork. There's only one crossing that gives you a chance of that shot.

                                                          Yes. It's a pilgrimage. I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a pic of myself crossing there. My husband was busy with a business meeting, so I worked something out on the spot with another lone traveler and we took photos for each other. It was particularly challenging because we did not speak the same language. It was arraged by using some hastily invented sign-language.

                                                          Here's a link to the Abby Road web cam You can scroll through the photos and you'll see a constant stream of tourists.

                                                          Far more interesting than myfreecams. I can sit for hours watching tourists almost being ran over. There's so much going on there, you've got the tourists waiting for a clear road for the perfect pic, local pedestrians that cross without setting foot on the crossing to avoid being mistaken for tourists, local traffic that don't stop at all for the crossing(usually with a toot of the horn), non-local traffic that get stuck at the crossing(with the accompanying chorus of horn toots from locals) letting people cross only to find that they don't cross over, just pose for a minute then turn back round. The busker doing Beatles songs(obviously), he must be raking it in. Then there's the graffiti writers waiting for a chance to daub their names on the wall.

                                                          I'm quite surprised I've not seen an accident yet, maybe one day.

                                                          Presumably because you haven't seen the millions of other shitty recreations?

                                                          George is the best Beatle.

                                                          I read that in George's voice.

I have taped all the shows and know all of Cee Lo's songs and am just as fat and black as him, can you please tell me what it is I should be knowing about my musical icon?
