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 actually looks like Century City.

[–]MiniDriver 6 points7 points ago

And you can see that active oil-derrick sticking up from the Beverly Hills High School campus. The same high school that is fighting to keep a subway from being drilled 70' under their campus because they claim it puts their students in danger. This subway will get potentially 100,000's of people out of their cars and into public transportation, in a city with the worst air quality in the country; but they won't let it happen.

Sorry to go off on a rant there; but when I saw that oil derrick in the photo, my blood starting boiling.

[–]afreemind69 1 point2 points ago

Where in this picture is there an oil derrick?

[–]TrustyChords 1 point2 points ago

It's hard to see in that picture and it is disguised.

Came to say the same thing. Upvotes for you sir!

[–]sharkoman 0 points1 point ago

Century city is LA...just another part of the city as a whole.

[–]superdan23 0 points1 point ago

came to say this...great spot!

[–]hexag1[S] -2 points-1 points ago

well, this is how the photographer billed it

[–]jonqtaxpayer 1 point2 points ago

Doesn't mean he's right, that's definitely century city and not downtown LA. Still a cool pic though.

[–]Basbhat 0 points1 point ago

I think they just meant LA, as in century city is in LA county

Thx for the link over to my site @Hexag1 :)

[–]hexag1[S] 1 point2 points ago

lol thanks for upvotes for stealing :-)

Good photos BTW. I watched UR tutorials for doing the HDR thing. Do I need fancy kamera to generate such karma?

[–]hexag1[S] 1 point2 points ago

ALSO: props for actually existing.

[–]DJ_Upgrayedd 3 points4 points ago

Ah, if only I had taken the shot.

[–]7usernames 2 points3 points ago

You mean century city/beverly hills...not downtown LA

[–]Kkes1000 2 points3 points ago

I live in Los angeles I must expierence this !

[–]Retroactive_Spider 0 points1 point ago

I live here too, and I'll probably wait til it cools off to head up in those hills. There's a nice ~45 minute hiking path up to the Hollywood sign I want to check out.

[–]Kkes1000 2 points3 points ago

I drove up mulholland drive and I ended up at a view called the universal studios view really nice view but this one looks great.

[–]torokunai 1 point2 points ago

[–]tylorjams 0 points1 point ago

Runyon is on the other side of the 101 from the Hollywood sign. You are thinking of Bronson Canyon.

[–]tylorjams 0 points1 point ago

Actually it takes over an hour to get to the sign.

[–]whalesalad 2 points3 points ago

Fuck my life this makes me miss my hometown of LA. DC ain't bad though. But... in-n-out =(

[–]U731lvr 0 points1 point ago

You get Five Guys instead.

[–]whalesalad 0 points1 point ago

Does not compare!!!

[–]treyratcliff 2 points3 points ago

That's my photo - thx Reddit :) Feel free to have fun with it - all my work is Creative Commons. :)

[–]papertigers 2 points3 points ago

dat light pollution

[–]FamousTee 1 point2 points ago

That house reminds me of GTA: San Andreas. I think I remember there always being an awesome car there.

[–]smrdlo 0 points1 point ago

[–]nixnaxmik 0 points1 point ago

And all I wanted to see was the stars.

[–]FOR_SClENCE 0 points1 point ago

You know, there's a body shop and auto painter behind that wood latticework.

I should know, I drove around that fucking corner sixty times in NFSU2.

[–]dolphinhj 0 points1 point ago

Those Hollywood nights, in those Hollywood hills...

[–]losangeles11 0 points1 point ago

Rich person's view.

[–]DuckyFreeman 0 points1 point ago

The thumbnail looks like a face.

[–]Julius_Sleazer 0 points1 point ago

This photo was taken at noon, the sky in LA does not change color regardless of time of day.

[–]Kashik 0 points1 point ago

i bet they have some nice houses up there...

[–]Kkes1000 0 points1 point ago

I went hiking through the Griffith park trail! Man oh man it was intense in the heat.

[–]Elementium -1 points0 points ago

Hmm.. I may be in the minority but that looks like a nightmare to me.. Not a single star can be seen and the transplanted trees.. Makes me glad I can step outside, look up, see the stars and listen to the sounds of an actual forest.
