Inhabited Beauty

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!

I watched an amateur documentary about this place where a guy visited and got toured around. Absolute trip of a place.

Peter Santenello?! I'd watch that guy interview a rock. Solid investigative journalism.

Utterly unbiased, isn't afraid to ask hard questions, and often, of hard people! He goes places most of us don't see, and in cases like this, may not know exist.

The finest thing about the man is his complete lack of sensationalism. Had a great lunch and watched some TV after lunch at our host's house, a thing I never do. It was... weird? The most bland statements of fact where delivered by bug-eyed speakers and incredulous listeners. And this was across every show we surfed! My man Santenello is never even mildly emotional. He lets the interviewee speak for themself, never puts words in their mouths.

Thank you for this!
