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.

The Pudong side of the river has actually been built so quickly that it is sinking into the river and they are currently still expanding.

Shanghai has some of the most beautiful architecture. This is now on my list of cities I want to go to along with Tokyo, New york City, Chicago, Seattle and Dubai.

No, actually Americas real estate market built it.

It's funny that they retained some of the original architecture in the left of the pic, and just chucked some fancy lights on them.

[–]mattxblack -2 points-1 points ago

Erm...night versus day? The lights may well have been there all along.

Not sure... the 2 buildings on the lower left are a very different scale in the two pictures. Not sure I can trust the rest of it.

That's a good point.. it is strange how the walls in the water line up so well with the newer picture though.

EDIT: It looks like the first picture was taken from a lot closer... second picture taken from farther away to get the skyscrapers in frame.

EDIT 2: And then I read this: Between 2003 and 2006, the Shanghai government spent 40 billion yuan on the so-called Lingang New City Project (临港新城计划) of Shanghai, to reclaim 133.3 km2 of artificial land from the sea.

Slanted Eyes=Aliens. . . Loving one could be beautiful, in its own way.
