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 still don't understand how the heck those walls stay up straight and don't collapse. Reinforced with wood, concrete?

Maybe the plants on the edges have a deep root structure?

I visited the rice terraces in the Philippines early last year, they're even more spectacular in person. To respond to your question, the walls are simply rocks fitted together so closely that they can stand on their own. The majority of these terraces are surprisingly old too. Its very impressive.

Wow! I can't imagine how labor-intensive they must be to make. Thank you for the info!

The design principle are sound, and have stood the test of centuries. The water weight doesn't build up beyond a certain point because it is always able to flow to the next lower level. But also they are constantly worked on and maintained. They're just soil.

I was there a few years ago and thought it was one of the most beautiful places I'd ever visited.

Because terraced rice paddies are awesome.

the coolest thing about rice paddies, is when they plant dyed rice plants and turn it into land-art. i.e. http://www.tofugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ricefieldart15.jpg

I miss Indonesia so much. One of the greatest places I have ever gotten the chance to travel to. The memories and just the beauty of that country. Really great place to go visit. Would love to own a house there one day.

Walked through those paddies back in 2002. My wife and I were covered in mud from our knees down. The local guide we were with was wearing white pants and dress shoes, not a spec of dirt on him.

Flew out just 12 hours before the Kuta bombing, but I would love to go back.

By "nicer" did you mean "shitter, with some hilariously cartoonish artificial colours"?

I went to that exact place mid last year. There is a restaurant perched right at the top letting you see the entire rice fields as youre eating and its one hell of a view. One of the farmers sold me his weaved leaf-hats for 10,000 rupiah (about $1).

I believe it's a still image from the movie Baraka.
