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.

That is some exceptionally hard ice

[–]HypoWombat 6 points7 points ago

The lack of air bubbles is shocking. I'm used to seeing (baltic sea) ice be a translucent white, not transparent like glass.

[–]terrified_of_reddit 21 points22 points ago

Could have at least changed the title. http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/s7bir/frozen_lake/

[–]namochan 6 points7 points ago

But, he did. This time the "lake" is written with a non-capital letter. It changes everything.

[–]Kokori 7 points8 points ago

Is this Lake Baikal?

[–]kamigato 5 points6 points ago

Yes, it is. Source with more images.

[–]PeerzPressure 4 points5 points ago

I would be terrified to stand on that, especially since the water looks so dark. Looking at the picture alone gave me a bit of a rush.

[–]dazerlong 6 points7 points ago

Whoa. This gives me the chills.

[–]duhbicboii 4 points5 points ago

You should cross-post to /r/EarthPorn. I know they'd like it

[–]shadow56399 0 points1 point ago

Better yet: /r/iceporn

[–]duhbicboii 1 point2 points ago

Didn't know that existed! Thank you :)

[–]Catsfosho 4 points5 points ago

Wow, That is amazing, no matter how much i think i've seen of this beautiful earth, theres always something new. Thanks for sharing

[–]tinamou63 3 points4 points ago

the only thing i could think about was "Death? Or exile?"

[–]Hellzapoppin 0 points1 point ago

If the ice is 12cm thick it's safe for skating ^

[–]gr3n3gsnsam[!] 0 points1 point ago

This is amazing, yet terrifying. I would love to be able to go there in person and jump on it...

[–]Achalemoipas 0 points1 point ago

You don'T want to jump on ice. Impossible to land.

[–]gr3n3gsnsam[!] 0 points1 point ago

Oh that's a good point...

[–]SkyRealMan 0 points1 point ago

Amazing. ..where?

[–]MaxPayne4life 0 points1 point ago

frozen fishes

[–]_emordnilaP 1 point2 points ago

pond hockey anyone?

[–]jiggle-o 1 point2 points ago

I want a 1920X1080 pic of that :)

[–]cdegon 0 points1 point ago

Very cool!

[–]scotti3 0 points1 point ago

Wonderfully awesome photo.

[–]leveraction1970 0 points1 point ago

I know that it's the clear ice that is the strongest, but that shit just looks like you'd fall right through it.

[–]fintheman 0 points1 point ago

I want to break the ice.

[–]daydaybio 0 points1 point ago

I feel deeply scared

[–]Patricko96 0 points1 point ago

10/10 would skate on.

[–]alpernda 0 points1 point ago

As a hockey player this looks like a very cool situation.

[–]EWilk 0 points1 point ago

Death or Exile?

[–]Jewstein 0 points1 point ago

absolutely gorgeous! where is this?

[–]Vanne_ -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Chainsaw_breath 0 points1 point ago

That is deeply frightening.

[–]shaggietv4 -2 points-1 points ago

Exile or death

[–]ethzilla 0 points1 point ago

Death... BY EXILE.
