For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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.

The world's largest salt flat is located in Uyuni, Bolivia. During the rainy season, it turns into the world's largest mirror. (imgur.com)

Reminds me of the train from Spirited Away.

[–]lmarsh93 0 points1 point ago

When I read your comment I was flooded with happiness.

[–]warsy26 12 points13 points ago

Just be careful of Shadow Link.

[–]chardson 0 points1 point ago

Or Demise (just finished Skyward Sword)

[–]taliesyn30 6 points7 points ago

It's just stupendous

[–]Yellowlego 5 points6 points ago

I bet those SUVs rust away pretty quickly if they're driving out there consistently.

[–]LiquorballSandwich 4 points5 points ago

Remember to wear sunscreen.

[–]Kirkman14 3 points4 points ago

Visited there in 2003. Stunningly beautiful. The Salar also contains a majority of the world's lithium reserves.

[–]bill-merrly 2 points3 points ago

The interesting thing about the bolivian lithium deposits is that the government has nationalized the resource. The Salar de Uyuni has an anomalously high amount of Mg, which make it much more difficult to extract the lithium than say similar deposits at the Salar de Atacama or the Hombre Muerto.

[–]magicbullets 2 points3 points ago

Amazing (and trippy).

[–]StargateGuy 2 points3 points ago

I think my brain would break if I tried walking through that.

[–]Sternenfuchs 2 points3 points ago

First thing that came to my mind: Top Gear had an episode where they crossed some salt flat with cars, and it was actually this one, awesome

[–]bewk 2 points3 points ago

I want to see it, from SPACE!

[–]j__h 0 points1 point ago

So, that's what tranquility looks like

[–]bloobunny 1 point2 points ago

I have dreams like this...

[–]Vole85 1 point2 points ago

In case I don't see you; good afternoon, good evening and good night!

[–]showmepotatosalad 1 point2 points ago

Awesome. I love this planet. There's so much to see, but only so much time...

[–]DeathFromWithin 1 point2 points ago

I remember this part of the water temple...you have to fight mirror link right?

[–]dishwasherphobia 1 point2 points ago

That is where I die. Done deal.

[–]we_started_the_fire 1 point2 points ago

Expost to r/earthporn, my friend

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I recall seeing this picture months ago with nearly the same title. If I weren't lazy i'd find it.

[–]GlassCutters 0 points1 point ago

Well, I guess if I did the same thing to someone else I can't be mad.

[–]Ihasn 0 points1 point ago
