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.

i wish we could turn out all the street lights for one night just to see this... fuck the man man

[–]imaginaryarmadillos 2 points3 points ago

That is awesome. The ultimate ginger painting.

[–]Waterme11on 2 points3 points ago

Van Gogh painted Starry Night while in an Asylum at Saint-Remy in 1889. So i don't know if he would actually be outside away from the town, however this a wonderful picture. :)

I want to slap the man who painted fucking stars inside the Moon's circumference.

[–]sharkeyzoic 0 points1 point ago

sigh. I kind of wish I wasn't like that, you know, but, sigh ...

[–]internet_interpol 1 point2 points ago

If the night sky looked like that from now on, I would become nocturnal just gaze into vast reaches of the universe all night while lying on the cool grass wishing to explore space.

[–]youRFate 0 points1 point ago

go somewhere far from big cities, the sky will look more like this that you ever imagined.

[–]TickleToeJo 1 point2 points ago

I can't even my words and soul.

[–]Lovtel 1 point2 points ago

I've always liked this picture. The only problem I have with it is that Van Gogh painted Starry Night during the day inside his room in an insane asylum.

[–]crashedpumpkin 1 point2 points ago

sad but true....

[–]SoBadItHurtsSoBad 2 points3 points ago

Striking. Images such as this one that seem to belittle humankind and express the scope of our planet in the universe have always made an impression on me.

[–]pkdrdr 2 points3 points ago

That's a screenshot of the new van Gogh FPS.

[–]mh048t 2 points3 points ago

Majestic.

[–]backpackwayne 1 point2 points ago

They are not listening, they did not know how..., perhaps they'll listen now.

[–]b0mb0 0 points1 point ago

Strongly recommend Van Gogh fans to watch Vincent and the Doctor from Doctor Who: Season 5 episode 10.

Go out on the beach at night on Hilton Head Island, SC. They have an ordinance that prohibits any lights facing the beach to be turned off after 10 PM. You can make out the Milky Way while still being reasonably close to civilization.

I want a framed print of that!! Make it happen!

[–]kathompson 2 points3 points ago

Okidoki... Clicky Here and you'll wind up at Fine Art America, where the artist sells the print.

I have a giant canvas print of it hanging on my wall now...it's even better in person.

He's also on Deviant Art...Alex Ruiz...
