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.

What the man on the right is thinking.

EDIT: I found some actual context for the photo.

World War II veteran Vasily Solovyev, left, speaks with Andrei Barabanov, a veteran of the Soviet Union's Afghan war, during celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow, Saturday, May 7, 2005. On Monday more than 50 world leaders will be in Moscow for commemorations of the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, an event that will pay tribute to the huge human sacrifice paid by the Soviet Union.

Judging from the amount of medals probably a higher ranking Soviet Officer from World War 2. The person on the right is in the VDV, the Russian Airborne Troops, because of the color of his beret.

Thats about all I can tell you without having a higher resolution photo to examine the medals.

I heard the blue and white striped shirt under the uniform of the guy to the right means that he is from the Russian navy. Apparently they are proud of the right to earn that specific shirt.

[–]woodyboogie 0 points1 point ago

The sky blue color represents the VDV. A darker blue would be the Navy.

Judging by how old this picture is and how many times it's been reposted, I'm gonna say he's pretty old.

[–]haavarl -1 points0 points ago
