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.

This fall I was driving along a back road on Vancouver Island and took a shitty cell phone pic of what is clearly the same tree.

[–]VeryGoodLookingMan 10 points11 points ago

[–]commiewizard 0 points1 point ago

I like this one more.

[–]MoonDaddy 1 point2 points ago

Which lake on the island? Was just there last month for the first time... was sad to leave.

[–]CheshireC4t 1 point2 points ago

I feel like there's some serious existentialism in a young tree sprouting from the remains of an old tree isolated in the middle of a lake.

[–]acreamscone 12 points13 points ago

Could we get a desktop resolution version?

[–]antimony51 2 points3 points ago

[–]shaggy102 8 points9 points ago

isn't that neat, nature is just so neat. I like the way tree is because it's the way it is

[–]GeoAtreides 2 points3 points ago

...and that way is neat.

[–]CrossedQuills 10 points11 points ago

I'll just pretend to be OP for a moment. For those wondering, it is small fir tree in Fairy Lake, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. I couldn't find any high-res photo, but on the photographer's flickr page, there is one 1024*677.

[–]bntly 2 points3 points ago

The drive from Lake Cowichan to Port renfrew is very, very pretty. Especially in fall/spring as the skies tend to be a lot more active.

[–]Zhang5 12 points13 points ago

I'm wondering how big that tree is. With no point of reference I first suspect it's very tiny, but I get the sneaking feeling it's much larger than I expect.

[–]banned_andeh 5 points6 points ago

The trees in the reflection suggest that it is indeed tiny

[–]fuluffel 2 points3 points ago

The reflected treeline in the water provides plenty of reference, not to mention the base the tree grows on is a tree trunk isn't it? Also notice the ripples on the water. Those are hardly huge waves. I conclude that the tree is in fact very small! Right?

[–]dylantrevor 3 points4 points ago

Life, will uh, find uh, a way.

Whoop Whoop ! Go CANADA !

[–]katakos 2 points3 points ago

I love that lake! I'm surprised how little the tree has grown sense i've been there...

[–]Ogrebushi 5 points6 points ago

Uptoke for my home province!

[–]1flyingfool 1 point2 points ago

I just made it my screen saver pic. Thanks Canada and who ever submitted

[–]meekrab 1 point2 points ago

I went camping at Fairy Lake in 2009. Went kayaking and took a couple pictures of the same tree! The second picture isn't exposed very well.

The trick is now the Karate Kid has to get it out of there without getting salt water on the roots.
