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.

Scarborough Beach, Perth, Western Australia - Australia Day 2007 source - APOD credit - Antti Kemppainen

Also.. it's not just the fireworks & lightning - You can see Coment McNaught in the middle.

edit: corrected link

It's actually Nodes Beach which is directly north of Hillaries Marina (you can see the marina directly to the left.)

This was taken on Australia Day 2007 (i think from memory) at Hillaries Marina (seen to the left) in Perth Australia. I know this because my dad and I sat next to the guy taking the photo! My mom and brother are also in the photo (just right of centre)

We've actually been quite lucky in the last few years on Australia Day. It's been stinking hot (40C+) followed by a lightning storm mixed with the fireworks. Here's an amazing photo from Australia Day 2012

Breathtaking fusion of nature and a good time.

According to Snopes, it's Australia

why does it look like almost all of the guys are wearing the same shirt

[–]xxunicornxprincessxx[S] 0 points1 point ago

Possibly the same person? It's a panoramic of 3 photos put together, according to Snopes

This picture was actually taken by a space organization and if you look closely in the sky in the middle you can see the comet that was the actual focus of the image.
