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.

First thing that comes to mind... Skyrim.. I need help.

[–]lucifer1343 20 points21 points ago

At first I thought this WAS a still from the game. Everything reminds me of Skyrim now. There's a plant growing near my apartment that looks like tundra cotton.

[–]dan2737 7 points8 points ago

Harvest Tundra Cotton

[–]jemm 4 points5 points ago

Then eat it.

[–]greenroom628 2 points3 points ago

[–]xHelpless 18 points19 points ago

we were all thinking it.

[–]SlyBun 2 points3 points ago

Actually I was thinking Legend of Zelda.

[–]kodutta7 6 points7 points ago

It really looks like Skryim, to be fair.

[–]H_J_Farnsworth 2 points3 points ago

It should remind you of it. This is the area and architecture that inspired Skyrim.

[–]Burgermiester 1 point2 points ago

Oh god, me too. The first thing I thought was, "Iceland might as well be called Skyrim."

[–]dan2737 1 point2 points ago

I thought I misread the title and that it was

"The Temple of Ice (Skyrim)"

[–]Blasphemic_Porky 1 point2 points ago

First thing came to my mind, Legend of Zelda. Temple of Sky~

[–]voidsong 1 point2 points ago

Keep your eyes on the sky....

[–]question_all_the_thi -1 points0 points ago

First thing that came to my mind... Vaginas!

I guess the internet has spoiled me forever...

[–]V3do 17 points18 points ago

arctic henge: is the name of the place after a bit of googleing http://www.flickr.com/photos/edvardg/6169934948/sizes/l/in/photostream/

[–]doctorwalker 5 points6 points ago

Looks more navigable than the Sky Temple, at least.

[–]Knight_of_Malta 9 points10 points ago

What hold is that from?

[–]sworeiwouldntjoin 7 points8 points ago

It's not a hold, it's a Nordic ruin. I can tell by the pixels.

[–]NotALobster 5 points6 points ago

man the new legend of zelda is looking great

[–]justanotherconsumer 2 points3 points ago

is there any photo shop on this? or is it seriously 100% real?

[–]Ron1956 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for the new desktop background pic!

APOD Nasa Page

Explanation: It was all lined up even without the colorful aurora exploding overhead. If you follow the apex line of the recently deployed monuments of Arctic Henge in Raufarhöfn in northern Iceland from this vantage point, you will see that they point due north. A good way to tell is to follow their apex line to the line connecting the end stars of the Big Dipper, Merak and Dubhe, toward Polaris, the bright star near the north spin axis of the Earth projected onto the sky. By design, from this vantage point, this same apex line will also point directly at the midnight sun at its highest point in the sky just during the summer solstice of Earth's northern hemisphere. In other words, the Sun will not set at Arctic Henge during the summer solstice in late June, and at its highest point in the sky it will appear just above the aligned vertices of this modern monument. The above image was taken in late March during a beautiful auroral storm.

Someone should also post the NASA Link Image over to /r/ExposurePorn
