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!

It's actually my hometown - I grew up here (though it's not my pic). Lovely little place, when you get past the crippling poverty, drug addiction, and lack of a future.
You can take a walk anywhere in the town and end up in a positively serene corner of woods inside of five minutes. Everything is its own little corner because of how allergic the place is to even elevation. It's very nice.
I feel like there's a ton of small walkable cities/towns nestled deep in the Apps. If they've got solid Internet I could see them being in a niche of communities of mostly remote workers.
It would be fantastic if they could pull that off. I'd love to visit my family without feeling depressed by the shuttered storefronts and dilapidated houses. There's just no economy there anymore.
Chattanooga has internet. That’s about it. Maybe we could band together and run fiber someplace cool?
