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.

This isn't real. It's from an artistic project by Lori Nix:

[–]devourer09 2 points3 points ago

Lori Nix has a unique style.

[–]rickanddianne 2 points3 points ago

Thank you for posting the other images. Ms. Nix's work is wonderful, it is always pleasant to see the full picture.

[–]VerdantSepulcher 0 points1 point ago

I was going to cry softly about all those books being destroyed but now it's all okay.

[–]rasputine -4 points-3 points ago

This isn't real.

YOU DON'T SAY

[–]SuperPolombian 9 points10 points ago

Also the cover of the latest Fountains of Wayne Album, Sky Full of Holes!

[–]americnleprchaun 0 points1 point ago

So glad someone else mentioned this!

[–]thefeinwoman 6 points7 points ago

I definitely thought this was from Logan's Run for a hot second.

[–]IhateToronto 2 points3 points ago

I don't care if it's real, it's gorgeous!

[–]kaiserzeit 1 point2 points ago

Looks cool, but I bet it's infested with Vashta Nerada

[–]thatawesomedude 2 points3 points ago

"Hey! Who turned out the lights?"

[–]imtheotherone 1 point2 points ago

If this was real those books would have been stolen a long time ago

[–]CraptainPranet 1 point2 points ago

I still want to live there.

[–]gijane480 0 points1 point ago

if you find yourself with a second shadow in that library.... be worried

[–]Vocalities 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of the Forrest Temple.

[–]LBobRife 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of a room in the France part of Uncharted 3.

[–]M0b1u5 0 points1 point ago

It's a model of a library, obviously.

Jesus OP, did you even look at the picture before spazzing it?

[–]MrBobrowitz 0 points1 point ago

Looks like an I-Spy book

[–]discontinuuity 1 point2 points ago

[–]judgmental_goat 0 points1 point ago

As soon as I saw this, I imagined the trees saying "they killed our brethren and glorified their remains. Its time to retaliate! CHAAAAARGE!"

[–]lucid_Si11 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of an area in devil may cry.

[–]brkn613 0 points1 point ago

Never underestimate the ability of natural forces to adapt to unnatural influences.

[–]Junte94 0 points1 point ago

Is there anywhere I can get like a poster of this?

[–]serioush 0 points1 point ago

"These are our forests"

Also "Hey, who turned off the lights?!"

[–]misternarwhale 0 points1 point ago

Whenever I see this picture I can't help but think that this is what the Sunnydale Library would look like...yaknow, if the town wasn't swallowed up by the bowels of the earth.

[–]HustlerThug 0 points1 point ago

It reminded me of The Last of Us. Really neat.

[–]carlothefullrufino 1 point2 points ago

It looks like the library from Between the Lions

[–]whiletheworldspins -1 points0 points ago

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT.

[–]mrgoldenbrown 0 points1 point ago

makes me think of Portal 2

[–]morgajel 0 points1 point ago

[–]devourer09 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of Chernobyl.

[–]mcgmrk -2 points-1 points ago

Is that real? Looks too perfect...

[–]devourer09 0 points1 point ago

It looks painted to me, or at least in the style of a traditional painting.

[–]Hallc 2 points3 points ago

I could tell by the books. Where would you find a library that has been left so long trees are growing but the books are still pristine.

[–]itismedamnit -2 points-1 points ago

where is this?

[–]Indestructavincible 1 point2 points ago

A canvas.

[–]Irma_Gerd 2 points3 points ago

Miniature diorama, actually. Amazing work.

[–]thorandil -2 points-1 points ago

Anyone else think of Bionic Commando when they saw this?

[–]lettuce99 0 points1 point ago

if this was real it would make getting the paper for the books a lot more convenient .

[–]TheFancyMan 0 points1 point ago

Republicans plan for education. You only need One book.

[–]katievanover 0 points1 point ago

Jumanji?

[–]Furtive_futon 0 points1 point ago

That poor tree probably has no idea that it's growing in a mausoleum of dead trees.

[–]Dravidor 0 points1 point ago

I almost had a heart attack because of the loss of those books... Now I feel dumb for not realizing it was a painting. Damn you Reddit!

[–]DrizzX 0 points1 point ago

Guess that explains whey the elder trees are always the most knowledgeable of all the characters in stories.
