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.

[–]AHK123 6 points7 points ago

Love Istanbul. Such a beautiful city. :)

[–]Timmyc62 5 points6 points ago

Glad to see the Blue Mosque getting some attention on r/pics as opposed to the usual ones of Hagia Sofia across the park.

[–]carbonfe 2 points3 points ago

I was in Istanbul a couple years ago for work. One day we left work behind and made our way to see this mosque. We arrived just as the last call to prayer was being done. It was the most surreal experience of my life. We went past the wall into the courtyard as men made their way into the mosque to pray. There must have been speakers all around us because you could feel the sound in your chest, and it didn't seem to be coming from one direction. I looked up and saw those birds flying around the minarets. I remember having this odd desire to play some Assassin's Creed.

We went inside and it's even more beautiful on the inside. My only regret is that I didn't get to see it during the day when the sunlight makes it appear more blue.

[–]kiddikiddi 2 points3 points ago

I've jumped from that steeple; and into a haystack, did it in the 15th century!

[–]princessmero 1 point2 points ago

"Wow, that's a lot of dragons."

WTF, brain?

[–]WaitingForClients -2 points-1 points ago

Constantinople has some nice buildings.

[–]WaitingForClients -1 points0 points ago

You have to agree that Constantinople sounds much better than Istanbul.

[–]Terencethisisstupid 2 points3 points ago

Well as a Turk , i am used to Istanbul so it sounds better to me

[–]urban_night -2 points-1 points ago

Hagia Sofia?

[–]mrtfiid 2 points3 points ago

Negative, this is the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, or Blue Mosque.

The Hagia Sofia is about 1100 yards northeast.
