A Ladder

PatronofSnark · 7 months

That makes the bottom of my feet uncomfortable just thinking about climbing it.

Rohri_Calhoun · 7 months

This makes me want to climb down the ladder and find out what kind of temple may be hidden at the bottom. Gotta avoid those mudcrabs though

immediately thought of Zelda. Gotta be a switch somewhere to drain that sucker

Why does that fill me with a gibbering horror?

I guess maybe it's highlighting the depth? I don't know why I find a 100' deep mineshaft scarier than an 7' swimming pool; I float, and there's a ladder...

But just looking at that photo makes my testicles retreat, my stomach clench, and my toes curl.

Oh, let me climb down that. I'm sure I won't turn into glass and sink to the deep below the earth and spend the next hundred years suffocating while silt rises around my ankles and kelp winds around my throat and algae blooms above me to block out the last ray of light until I'm alone and breathless in the dark and all i can feel is the burning need for air and the push and pull current of something large passing quickly close by.

I hear Sofi needs one.

Probably a former mine, judging by how clear it is, the square edges, and the fact that there's a ladder there.

There are a lot of flooded mineshafts in a swampy area near my hometown. It was one of the dangers when our birding club went off the trail, you'd see what appears to be a clearing and step into a perfectly square pool that's probably 30-40 feet deep.

Where does it lead?

Hoffspeaks · 7 months

All I can think of is how creeped out I would be climbing out on that ladder with all the slime and algae on the underwater portion.

bitterwon · 7 months

That water reminds me of Tomb Raider. I bet there is a treasure in that water or a hidden door to a treasure! I want to go and explore it!!!!

frodoturtle · 7 months

you found another hatch!

revolvingdoor · 7 months

I can only imagine how slimy that is when you are trying to climb out barefoot.

Deltafire · 7 months

Cool Beans! where is this and how do i get there.

brianpepinski · 7 months

WHERE IS THIS? I'M GOING TO CLIMB DOWN AND FIND THE CITY OF GOLD DOWN THERE

SicilianEggplant · 7 months

As someone who is irrationally afraid of touching underwater surfaces with my feet, I wouldn't want to climb on those encrusted rungs.

ctoyeiv · 7 months

It gives me the willies to think of my bare feet touching that ladder. Similar to touching the bottom of the lake or lagoon.

Butorand · 7 months

I noticed you refrained from putting "Just" in before "A Ladder." Thank you!

Vikaroo · 7 months

Just looking at that I can feel the squiggly, slipperiness of it. Having once trusted a ladder in an unclear lake, I will never get that gross, creepy feeling out of my head every time I see a picture like this.

Hmm, what's this mod called? How are the sys reqs? I'm looking forward to starting a new Skyrim game, wanted to spice it up with some mods and this one looks interesting...

KatAttk · 7 months

That looks like it would be a fantastic break from winter at the moment...

darksomos · 7 months

Sofi needs one of these.

adammcbomb · 7 months

That's for Lara later on, once she's drained the water.

Daft_Punker · 7 months

chimmi · 7 months

Okay, it's been years since I played this, but didn't Riven: Sequel to Myst have this latter?

cool picture.

Stregano · 7 months

This is like those pictures of the ships that have sunk in shallow water. There is a specific term for it, but I do not know what it is, but this really reminds me of that

Captainpatch · 7 months

Now I KNOW I need to find a switch someplace to lower the water....

Damnit, I probably need to backtrack.

Flailwielder · 7 months

At least we know where the Zora live now

thebuckmanguy · 7 months

woah how deep is that water? and can i go fishing there?

wtfturtle · 7 months

I do not trust the ladder. That is one ladder that would not be climbed under any circumstances.

runnerboy23 · 7 months

Saw one of those is rural kentucky. Had a fucking muskey in it.

Stratocaster89 · 7 months

I can only imagine how gross that ladder would feel on bare feet when you climb out. Slimy as fuck.

waffleninja · 7 months

Bleh. I would hate to step on that thing to get out of the water.

plutPWNium · 7 months

I don't know why, but the picture scares me.

usedtowork · 7 months

why does it turn into stairs as soon as it hits the water

and no that's not refraction making a ladder step in 6" of water look like a 2x4 stair

cheesesashimi · 7 months

It looks too pristine to be a former mine. It more closely resembles an underwater cave entrance where cave divers might start and end their dives from. Plus, the white in the middle of the photo resembles air bubbles rising to the surface, potentially due to some divers performing a decompression stop.

MrWhiskers5 · 7 months

anyone else notice the scuba diver?

I never thought a ladder could be beautiful.

bigkahunaburger1 · 7 months

i don't know why, but that ladder scares the shit out of me

BobLobLawsLawFirm · 7 months

Your towel is in the water.

gastepvp · 7 months

Absolutely beautiful photograph, it has such a illustrative feel to it. Even past the ladder, the small waterfall seem to be frozen in a very smooth iced shell. It is as if it came directly from the mind of a fantasy artist. I very much enjoyed this piece, thank you for sharing.

That looks like a lot of fun, if you like tetanus.

JLHess · 7 months

No way am I touching that ladder without water socks on.
