Rules

1. Images only (obviously).

But meta posts without images are allowed.

2. Pictures only

This community is for pictures. Merriam-Webster defines a picture as “a painting, drawing, or photograph of someone or something.” However, this community will extend this definition. Digital forms such as 3D render are allowed. Abstract art forms that do not represent anything are also allowed.

3. No distracting superimposed text or emoji

Generally, you should be able to appreciate a post without being able to read.

4. No low quality MS paint-esque drawings

5. Remember to follow lemmy.ml sitewide rules

Berlin and Ione just next to it are two abandoned towns from the gold rush era. I went on this solo road trip about 4 years ago.

I got so lucky with the clouds that day. They're ridiculously picturesque.

Beautiful picture. Were the towns completely abandoned, or were there still a few people living there?

Thanks! Berlin was deserted, and the sign at Ione said Population: 3, and while I didn't see anyone there, I did see a potted flower on a window sill that was clearly being watered.
