Make sure that mountain is free of any trees before taking that scenic picture.
This essentially bans all photography - it's fucking weird.

Here's a picture of a brick.Afghan religious leader:
Should we execute him? Just to be safe you know!Was there a fly on the brick?
Also, where are we on the matter of fungi?
And what about bacteria? Hope they disinfect the brick beforehand.
And viruses? Do viruses live?
Quick, check the ancient religious texts for guidance on viruses.
See, that's what we need to settle the debate about the biological status of viruses. A fatwa.
Maybe they can decide between tabs and spaces next.
Ah yes, I guess we better execute him, the whole thing smells fishy, like an attempt to oppose authority.
"Smells fishy?" Are you evoking imagery of a living thing with your analogy?
Get them - err, I mean get that thing which may or may not be a person... but, if they are currently a person, I'm sure it's just a very temporary condition.
What if my own blasphemous eyes and mind keep creating images of living things?
Goddammit I'm just trying to keep us safe from immorality! Or worse questioning authority. 😋
"Keeping us safe", yeah, sure. Squad, this one. Also the one above. And the fellow below, too. Goddamn infidels, destroying our lovely... Uh, lovely... Lovely love for living in the present, yes! Just as the prophet would've wanted!
Bacteria, spores, and other microscopic life are in every picture taken of the natural world at a minimum.
Well... On Earth...
Didn't you know you can grow concrete?
I wonder where the limit is.
Like is it just photos or all depictions? If it's all depictions, how far does it go? Will certainly combinations of letters be banned? :O :P :) \o/
If so, will kanji be banned as well? We Lemmings all know this one by now
:.|:;And I don't know any actual kanji but I do know lots of their origins are depictions of living things, plants, animals, people.
Nah, you just have to photoshop X eyes and a stuck out tongue on every living thing. They didn't say anything about dead things.
