For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.

The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

Many of them did (and still do) lack copies or scans, or translations. Each one saved is a priceless treasure; each one lost is irreplaceable. Man gave to future generations an incredible inheritance by his efforts.
