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.

Beautiful. Where is this? I want to go to there.

[–]backwoodsbill[S] 284 points285 points ago

Beachy Head, England

This might actually be the best novelty account I've seen yet.

[–]Tsunderella 49 points50 points ago

I really enjoy useful ones. Like this one, or the automatic TL;DR

Other ones, like "SUDDENLY_INCEST" or whatever are just a waste of time.

[–]JohnnyUtah 15 points16 points ago

Holy crap! What is England made out of, and are the English aware that whatever it is, it is falling into the sea?

[–]redd_itch 14 points15 points ago

Which is why we should have left the convicts here and migrated everything over to Australia. I think somehow we lost out on that deal.

[–]lythander 7 points8 points ago

Did you see the spider bit this morning? You're better off where you are.

[–]auntie_eggma 1 point2 points ago*

This calls for a "take all the x and put them in x" meme I cannot be bothered to make. Fuck the spiders, deport them all to somewhere horrible like they deserve. Then we all move to Australia.

Edit: The fucking wasps and hornets, too. Fuck them even harder than the spiders.

[–]AbbyTR 7 points8 points ago

Yep, we're aware. We're actually shrinking quite rapidly, specially the south part, Scotland, however, is raising out of the water a bit. It was on the news about some of the homes falling into the sea.

[–]jseidelin 34 points35 points ago

Maybe new homes will emerge in Scotland.

[–]RedSquaree 6 points7 points ago

Maybe they can set up a plan whereby if your home falls into the sea in the south, you automatically get a coupon for one in Scotland on reclaimed land!

[–]nkplague 9 points10 points ago

They used to have that. It became very unpopular and led to a lot of starvation and resentment.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

Or to put it another way, we're quietly edging away from europe.

[–]Nithoren 1 point2 points ago

so you're getting what you want then, what are you complaining about?

[–]mrcc912 2 points3 points ago

I believe these are chalk cliffs

[–]Telmid 1 point2 points ago

it is falling into the sea?

In places. Particularly along the east coast, I believe.

[–]zinconinco13 3 points4 points ago

Less dramatic? That shit is crazy!

[–]tttt0tttt 4 points5 points ago

Looks like they're losing a little chalk, there.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Very cool shot, and thanks for pointing it out the other angle...the other....angle. Oh, I get it now.

[–]Peregrine7 25 points26 points ago

Woa! I am listening to a song called "Beachy Head" by Bonobo right now!

[–]Frijid 28 points29 points ago

And Reddit says Jesus doesn't exist. HAHAHA. WHERE ART THOU SCIENCE NOW? Jesus wants you to jump off the cliff.

[–]Carpantar 1 point2 points ago

Bonobo is originally from brighton, never knew that this was actually a place though... happy i found this

[–]funpowder_plot 5 points6 points ago

Weird that so many people top themselves there if it's this beautiful.

[–]Papa-Lazarou 9 points10 points ago

I was born and bred in Eastbourne (the town that lies next to Beachy Head) and I've never seen it look like this, must've been a lucky occurance.

[–]IsomorphicAlgorithm 1 point2 points ago

I just like the name beachy head.

[–]fightingforair 3 points4 points ago

[–]seriouslydamaged 3 points4 points ago

Oh. My. God. I was like "I would be lucky to be able to see such thing on my hitchhiking-trip" Well, I'm actually going to England next week. Thank you so much for posting it! I can't believe it.

[–]Frankeh 6 points7 points ago

It won't look like that when you see it. I live near by and I've never seen it look like that.

[–]Frankeh 1 point2 points ago

No way! I saw it and instantly wanted to know where it was as it looked so beautiful.. Yeah, I live about 10 minutes from Beachy Head and used to go there as a kid all the time. Never seen it looking like that though.

[–]insufficient_funds 1 point2 points ago

You know... seeing shit like this makes me really understand how people used to claim the earth was flat, and you could fall off of the edge.

This is the Shadow Tower Rampart on The Wall in Westeros. It is north of Winterfell and Queens Crown and is commonly referred to as "The Edge of the World," or "The End of the World" by Westeros inhabitants.

[–]MarcusXXIII 7 points8 points ago

Kind of funny, my thoughts on seeing the picture was "hey that would be a very nice place to just run off the edge"

But rest assured, i have no such intention. Call of the void, i guess.

[–]Frijid 58 points59 points ago

I don't understand how they built above cloud level though.

[–]Smozius 32 points33 points ago

Welp, there goes my next two weeks of life.

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 13 points14 points ago

As someone who doesn't play minecraft, what's the story behind this tower?

[–]Wolf_Everstone 25 points26 points ago

It's just a single block tower that someone built to the height limit to show the new limit.

1 block wide and (I believe) 256 blocks high.

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 11 points12 points ago

Ah I see. Thanks

[–]AbrahamVanHelsing 8 points9 points ago

To put it into perspective, the maximum build height this time last week was below the clouds.

[–]peon47 8 points9 points ago

nerd-on

Close. The terrain at sea level would be 64 blocks high to begin with. So from bedrock to the top of the tower would be 256 blocks. From the "ground" to the top of the tower would be 180-190.

[–]chaosintestinal 6 points7 points ago

what is fascinating about Minecraft ? I still don't get it after watching a lot of tutorials video...

[–]peon47 16 points17 points ago

I guess it boils down the player. If you liked lego as a kid, it has the same appeal. You start with literally nothing, and have to build from there.

From an empty landscape, I've made this so far. I love working on it, and adding little details everywhere.

20 years ago, I'd probably have built it with matchsticks in my attic, like the guy from Beetlejuice.

[–]Remember_What 4 points5 points ago

Must.... ask.... for.... download link...

[–]tinkafoo 8 points9 points ago

It's a game that you play and you run around and do stuff. If you don't like doing stuff, it might not be the game for you.

[–]mahchefai 1 point2 points ago

Idk why you're being downvoted. Mostly you can do anything you want. Explore, mine and especially build crazy things. It's very satisfying to break blocks and place them, you kinda need to play to know what I mean. Also finding diamond is super exciting. Plus there's tons of mods with which you can do fun stuff. I haven't played in a while though because my laptop can't run it well (LOL)

[–]fuckshitwank 1 point2 points ago

Landscape is random, endlessly autogenerates and there's some zombies and stuff. Can be pretty addictive. It really is like exploring a new land. Your land - in which you're a blocky but badass property developer.

[–]Avohaj 3 points4 points ago

Does nobody remember that for most of the time during alpha and beta cloud level was lower? Seems everyone forgot about that...

[–]alman520 1 point2 points ago

They only recently moved it, like in 1.9 or 1.0.0. I still remember it.

[–]droneprime 1 point2 points ago

My god, you could make Everest.

Well, unless you live in West Hove (where the border is) you're an Eastie. Interestingly, both Devil's Dyke and Gatwick are in West Sussex (airport tax FTW), due to the wiggly border.

We have the same in France and its also one the most popular spot for suicides _ When i was 14 , 2 girls from my class jumped from this spot and we never found their body ... http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/17150/cap-blanc-nez.jpg

[–]ShutNot 2 points3 points ago

This one curves outwards though. You'd scrape along it.

[–]Bickus 1 point2 points ago

Maybe that's what happened to the bodies?

[–]thatwasntababyruth 1 point2 points ago

reminds me of the landscapes I used to build in Simcity.

[–]Shocking 1 point2 points ago

Is that the place from Up?

[–]ephemeron0 1 point2 points ago

It was the inspiration for the context of Up. Several of the higher-ups at Pixar took a trip to this area of Venezuela. The notes, sketches, and photos they made there served as a model for developing Paradise Falls.

[–]Enti_San 6 points7 points ago

I thought I knew the place when I first saw it, then it appears to be a very famous cinema set, here is a list of movies that have been filmed in Beachy Head:

  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
  • Quadrophenia
  • The Life and Loves of a She Devil
  • Battle of Britain
  • Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
  • The War Games - Doctor Who 1965
  • James Bond, The Living Daylights
  • Atonement
  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

PS: the site is attracting many suiciders as well.

[–]Tortured_Sole 6 points7 points ago

Is there a higher resolution of this image? Just set it up as a wallpaper.

[–]NotInMyGarden 5 points6 points ago

Here's the Reddit Beautiful picture / Crappy Picture paradox:

"The quality of picture is inversely proportional to the resolution at which it's posted."

We often see on Reddit horrible (noisy, dull...) pictures taken with a phone posted at their ridiculous original size of 2 or 6 megapixels. On the other side, you often have masterpiece like this one, posted at a tiny 900x600 resolution.

Your photo is wonderful, don't be shy, post it with at least a height of 1000 pixels (unless you're afraid of being stolen ?).
