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.

According to Michael Yamashita's website (the guy who took this picture), this is in Japan. Weird, because it looks exactly like a wood that I lived near in Northern England.

[–]Lockey79 0 points1 point ago

Just about to say that. There's stuff like this all over the place where I live.

[–]BlueHatGuy 2 points3 points ago

The hell? I thought it looked exactly like a place in Germany where I used to live.

[–]culture_shock 2 points3 points ago

Huh, I thought it was an autumn take on the trail to "Throat of the World" in Skyrim.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

looks like certain stretches of the Appalachian trail to me.

[–]iamemanresu 1 point2 points ago

And I thought it looked a path near where I live in central Illinois...

[–]Cartread 0 points1 point ago

The golden leaves look like a sugar maples'.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I had the exact thought, I live in the north east at the moment and it reminded me of trails I've been on around here. Though there wasn't the same amount of leaf colour change this year, I don't know what it's usually like.

[–]aloeicious 0 points1 point ago

Britain is marvelous, I was thinking Wales. Beauty is everywhere.

[–]shawncplus 0 points1 point ago

Or the woods in WNY. Pretty standard temperate forest look.

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

Rivvie?

[–]Bobbysuepoo 1 point2 points ago

Looks exactly like a trail in the smoky mountains. I guess a lot of forests look like this.

[–]moughan 0 points1 point ago

That's funny - I came here to see if this was a place I visited once in Western England!

[–]heywhyteboy 0 points1 point ago

I think this has to do with Matsuo Bashō's, "Narrow road through the Backcountry". It is a very popular and well loved Japanese story. Read it freshman year in college for my world lit class.

Edit: Yup, following the footsteps of Bashō

[–]CassandraVindicated 0 points1 point ago

I was about to go on a diatribe about how that "make-work" program CCC probably built these over 75 years ago. This type of scene is actually pretty common in our state and national parks.

[–]hawkeyefan2488 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a trail i know of in iowa too

[–]canadas 0 points1 point ago

I was just in china and a couple of the places i went if you were to blind fold me and take me there, assuming i didn't notice the 15 hour plane ride, it would of taken me awhile to realize I'm not in Canada anymore

[–]frownykid 0 points1 point ago

It also looks similar to an area in North Alabama.

[–]Hubso 0 points1 point ago

If you look to the left of the picture you can see sunlight, so definitely not England.

[–]rave6969 20 points21 points ago

that looks like a trail in skyrim

[–]arup02 8 points9 points ago

That one that you climb to reach the Throat of the World.

[–]Savoir_Faire 8 points9 points ago

Like High Hrothgar in the summer

[–]darthmunkeys 6 points7 points ago

The 7,000 steps. Hey, could you take these supplies up to the top for me, I'm to old to keep doing this.

[–]lisabadcat 0 points1 point ago

That reminds me, I've been far too productive on this Saturday moring. No more browsing reddit, back to skyrim.

[–]furlonium 1 point2 points ago

God dammit, I wanted to make this post.

[–]Jacosion -2 points-1 points ago

I was gonna say the same thing.

[–]Mikster123 3 points4 points ago

Are you saying "The right path" isn't for people in wheelchairs? You horrible person.

[–]SirWhiteSox 2 points3 points ago

Hm. It appears to be one little traveled by.

[–]Hothr 1 point2 points ago

It's made all the difference.

[–]zerbey -1 points0 points ago

No idea where that is, but I'm adding it to my bucket list.

[–]EthanJR 0 points1 point ago

The right one is always the right one.

[–]therestruth 1 point2 points ago

Never going left on a trail again.

[–]SleepyMage 0 points1 point ago

The right path to slipping on decaying leaves and busting your knee open on the edge of a cold stone step.

Oh yeah, nature trails and me are best friends...

[–]music-istheglue 0 points1 point ago

Thought this was in Bath, England

[–]zodiac720 1 point2 points ago

Thats how you get to Highrothghar in Skyrim

[–]oasisoflight 0 points1 point ago

With leaves no step has trodden black,

[–]JustForBrowsing 0 points1 point ago

How did they get a picture of the stairway to heaven?

[–]Ickulus 0 points1 point ago

It looks like the right path is slippery as hell.

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

That looks alot like Rivington Pike.

[–]criticalnegation 1 point2 points ago

looks like the mountain path from skyrim minus the snow

[–]PedoKracker 1 point2 points ago

To High Hrothgar.

[–]FairlySadPanda 0 points1 point ago

New lock screen on my Windows 8 install get! Thank you for posting! :D

[–]MSK13 0 points1 point ago

Wow, this looks EXACTLY like the trail leading to the lake from my dad's house, so close looking, i'll try and take a pic tomorrow during the day to show you the amazing resemblance.

[–]Cubeface 0 points1 point ago

God, I just got back from hiking up Horsetooth Mountain here in Colorado, Fort Collins. It's all dry and dead, but still beautiful. A really fun hike for sure, but goddamn, I would really love to hike this. Too pretty.

[–]Sokonomi 0 points1 point ago

Fall on your ass and have a long ugly ride down. Those leafs look like slippery shit.

[–]russianradio85 0 points1 point ago

The right path, is almost never the prettiest looking one.

[–]firechant 0 points1 point ago

Seeing that made me think of Kamiki Village from the game Okami.

[–]stoutman777 0 points1 point ago

At first glance i though this was the album cover of sawdust by the killers.

[–]masterpunks 0 points1 point ago

Looks exactly like a place my friend took me to in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky.

[–]LongShotSniper 0 points1 point ago

The road less taken?

[–]nasally27 0 points1 point ago

Stairway to hell (fuxed).

[–]trolling_stones 0 points1 point ago

looks like somewhere in fable 2

[–]KianKP 0 points1 point ago

7000 Steps from Skyrim anyone?

[–]QuitetheCharacter 0 points1 point ago

Wait, I think I have been here. Is this the trails around Nihon-ji?

[–]whatdoy0uknow 0 points1 point ago

NEXT, AMERICAN GYPSIES, ON THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL.

[–]DjSkillz -1 points0 points ago

How pertiful

[–]VicePresidentFruitly 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone know where this is? It looks exactly like my hometown park.

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

Where do you live?

[–]jayzee124 -2 points-1 points ago

i have a picture of the wrong path but its too wrong to show on the internet. the internet would explode if i put it up. internet explorer would turn into internet exploder

[–]LBK2013 0 points1 point ago

The internet has seen all things. Been down all paths.

[–]cptobg -3 points-2 points ago

Stairway To heaven [FIXED]

[–]mokr22 0 points1 point ago

Stairway to hell (fuxed)
