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!

Cool picture. Is there a filter on this, is there smog, or are the Persians really into Sodium Vapor lighting to make it that orange?

Tehran's one of the world's most polluted cities, so smog would be my bet. It's a gorgeous look though!

I didn't know that. I looked it up and saw you're right source

I will say that my worst experience was in Dehli India, which is currently twice as worse as Tehran! The air pollution in Dehli was so bad you could visually see hanging in the air, indoors at the airport. It was surreal to be walking around the terminal with the heavy smell of diesel exhaust as though you were surrounded by heavy trucks idling around you.
