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.

[–]greggram 0 points1 point ago

Took me a while to grasp this picture.

[–]StickyNinja 0 points1 point ago

OMG IM IN DUBLIN! Im down here for a week I was just browsing reddit for fun in the Pearse hotel. that is aweeeesome

[–]interface2x 0 points1 point ago

I tried to get at least an iphone pic in there, but no dice. Busted.

[–]omgitsxcarolinex 0 points1 point ago

I'm going there in two weeks! :)

[–]caseyvill 0 points1 point ago

I was there in may I was sad I didn't get this view and only got to see it from the ground floor.

Still worth the trip though.

[–]pictorialturn 0 points1 point ago

This photograph is by Candida Hofer, a totally awesome photographer. She did a whole book of absolutely amazing library photographs.

[–]Nogias 0 points1 point ago

I stayed there for an hour because the entire place is permeated with the smell of old books. Over 200,000 books in that hallway. Being there is like embodying Charlie Sheen as a bibliophile.

[–]vargonian 0 points1 point ago

I know it's uncultured of me, but the first thing I think of is the fact that that the entire contents of this library could easily fit on a thumb drive.

[–]badwithinternet 0 points1 point ago

I was going to argue with you, as the contents of this library are probably well over 150 GB (guesstimation), but it seems they definitely make thumb drives up to 256GB.

My guesstimation doesn't include atlases, maps, et cetera, though.

[–]vargonian 0 points1 point ago

I did have to take a little leap of faith there because I'm honestly not sure how big it would be, but with text compression, etc., most books are pretty tiny.

[–]natostrike 0 points1 point ago

I didn't pay the fee to go into this library, damn it, looks like I should have.

[–]Thats-Awkward 0 points1 point ago

I hope I get to go there next month!

[–]gahane 0 points1 point ago

Apart from the long queues sometimes there's no reason why not.

[–]miko0007 0 points1 point ago

I was just there last week, lovely place. It's a shame it cost €9 to enter though.

[–]cheapdvds 0 points1 point ago

For some reason it feels like a there is a river and reflection somewhere in the photo.

[–]timcurrys_wig 0 points1 point ago

I am immediately reminded of that library in Avatar. >.<

[–]Zovistograt -1 points0 points ago

It would be really cool if that were a 3D forced perspective floor instead of an actual bottom floor.

[–]AmazingSax -1 points0 points ago

Brain porn.
