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.

Thanks, I haven't seen it this week yet. Can't wait til next week.

[–]Bassmonster27 1 point2 points ago

This is just a tribute

[–]Mother_Fucking_Peppy -1 points0 points ago

You gotta believe me, and I wish you were there. Just a matter of opinion.

[–]wizardbrigade 0 points1 point ago

What is happening to the sky here? Additional link?

[–]JollyRoger46 0 points1 point ago

The background is sand dunes in Namibia.

[–]BodyMassageMachineGo 2 points3 points ago

Looks like the side of a hill to me.

[–]wizardbrigade -1 points0 points ago

I think perhaps you're right, and all the lighter dots are shrubs. But angle of the hill in relation to the foreground seems so off. Maybe shopped?

[–]AdelleChattre 2 points3 points ago

It'd be easier to wait for the repost tomorrow so we can follow a link to National Geographic explanation.

[–]OnyxJ212 0 points1 point ago

You're completely right. I believe the picture was taken in a small valley between two dunes, during sunrise. Thus the valley is still in the shadows, while the brilliant light is hitting the dune behind it.

Or maybe I'm completely wrong; It's late.

[–]wizardbrigade 0 points1 point ago

This sounds accurate, definitely.

[–]BodyMassageMachineGo -1 points0 points ago

Just an illusion created by the camera. Focal lengths and zoom and such.

[–]GenocidePie 0 points1 point ago

Paint a painting, take a picture of the painting, post on reddit, "this is not a painting"

I don't see it...OH WAIT TH-...it's gone again...OH I SEE-...

[–]ArturusRex 0 points1 point ago

Because this post is stupid, have some relevant surreal art:

Ceci n'est pas une pipe by René Magritte

[–]sitssac 0 points1 point ago

how is surreal art relevant? this a non-shopped national geographic picture 1 2

also wow you're so cultured for sharing with us one of the most well-known art pieces of the last century, please continue to judge the stupidity of posts because you got us all impressed with your uninformed opinions

[–]ArturusRex 0 points1 point ago

Well... It mimics the title in a nice manner, and it's the first thing I thought of.

I do however agree that I was ambiguous of me to declare this post as "stupid." To be more accurate, I'm not fond of the post. This is because of it's frequently reposted nature ( see Hero4sale83 and hst648's comments. ) and It's unoriginal title.

Why you have to take the immediate ad hominem route, however, I don't know. -Summer Glau

P.S please be sure to check out the next series of "The Sarah Connor Chronicles", on Fox!

[–]sitssac 0 points1 point ago

ad hominem does not automatically forbid anyone of making judgements about yourself if they're relevant to the discussion, as you comment was

so yeah

[–]ArturusRex 0 points1 point ago

Goddammit, It appears I'm being nothing but ambiguous today, My mistake.

The penultimate and ultimate lines of your original comment could be seen to be ad hominem. The sarcastic "You're so cultured!" is a big hint there, kiddo.

[–]sitssac 0 points1 point ago

yeah and that "kiddo" bullshit ain't nothing like the very thing you're complaining about.

i ain't replying again, feel free to think you've "won" lol

[–]ArturusRex 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry.
