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.

This is kinda chilling. I would love to see a before picture from around the same time and location.

Zoom in. It's right after the major earthquake and everything is in ruins.

Full tiff of the image here:

Ohh okay, thank you, I thought I was missing something.

As I understand it, the fire that came after the earthquake was more devastating than the earthquake itself.

This was taken from a airship-mounted camera. I love the shafts of light coming from the sun. The Ferry Building in the bottom center is still there at the end of Market Street. If you follow the line of Market Street, it points to Twin Peaks.

If you'd like to see more photos from this time and from the same camera, clicky: http://robroy.dyndns.info/lawrence/kitelines97.html

I never knew about the background of this picture. Thanks for the information!

It's kind of noted in the writing at the bottom left of the picture, including the title, "San Francisco in Ruins".

Note the lack of bridge over Golden Gate.

Just nine years later, following the devastating 1906 quake, they held the 1915 World's Fair.

I love old photos of cities. Is there a subreddit for that?

[–]johnkong 0 points1 point ago

Also, it looks very flat in the photo?

[–]Timmyc62 1 point2 points ago

It was taken after the 1906 quake, so a lot of buildings are actually flattened.

Didnt recognize it at first what with the golden gate bridge not being there.
