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!

You know what they say about assumptions…

An event like that held somewhere in the US these days would likely result in pages of documented collisions and other incidents. But that’s likely because:

  1. Most states don’t require any sort of licensing or training in safe operation of boats, or at least a very minimal level.
  2. Many boaters in the US seem to think it’s perfectly fine to operate boats while drinking alcohol…
