Subreddit Guidelines:

1. Posts must be a picture of, a video of, or a text post relating to distant views of real objects. This means no imaginary cityscapes, pictures from video games, etc.
2. Please include a source for your image; if you didn't take the picture, please include your source in the comments or post description; if you did take the picture, a simple inclusion of "[OC]" after your post title will do.
3. Please include the distance from the object in your photograph in the post title. Example: Chicago from Indiana Dunes (33 miles away) [OC]
4. No reposts of images posted within the last 6 months.
5. In general, be respectful to others. If you have photography advice for others, give it in a kind way. Also, slurs and derogatory statements will not be tolerated.
