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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

Great, I'll surely repost it in 3 month's time, this picture is a goldmine!

Also, we should all upvote the solitary comment on the bottom one.

Awesome photo!

[–]InvisiblePanda9 2 points3 points ago

As awesome as this picture is, it does not even come close to seeing the Grand Canyon in person. It is truly breath taking. Make it a point to go there once in your life.

This is my desktop background, and has been for a very long time. WEIRD.

Wow, instead of pics, this would qualify as earth porn. Just awesome.

This picture makes me think of the last line of this poem

[–]umbama 0 points1 point ago

I thought of this:

What is that sound high in the air
Murmur of maternal lamentation
Who are those hooded hordes swarming
Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth
Ringed by the flat horizon only
What is the city over the mountains
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air

[–]arcticwolf91 1 point2 points ago

Yeah that's my current background atm.

Is... there something wrong with that? Also it isn't necessarily that long. Arizona has unbelievable lightning storms.

[–]Sanderlebau 0 points1 point ago

Nope. It's just part of taking a picture, anyway.

I've been on Reddit too long. I thought the title was Grand Crayon, and was excited to get to see a gigantic Crayola crayon. *sigh

I read that as Grand Crayon. Little disappointed with the lack of Crayons.

Try these, they are a bit less blue and adapted for common resolutions.

"Grand Crayon [Fixed]"

?

This is my wallpaper. Mainly because I changed it to so a few days ago when this exact picture was on the front page.

As someone who used to live in Flagstaff, during the summer we'd have awesome thunderstorms and in the winter crazy snow storms.

Never been there but I visited the south dakota badlands this fall and was flabbergasted. I have to think the Grand Canyon would be even more amazing.
