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 think the original photo posted was heavily edited, hence the complaints. Not sure if you were looking at the newer edit or not (see other comments for context)
It wasn't that heavily edited. Like I said in another comment, a quick Google image search shows tons of official photos that were shot with a similar style. It just looked like it had a long shutter exposure making the lights look a lot more vivid/bright than natural and the bottom had been altered in a way that seemed to try and avoid auto copyright detection. Anyway, people are welcome to believe what they want.
