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 heard it was in the 80s up there though! Crazy stuff.
NJ here, and yup, it's been mostly 70's and a few 80's for the past 2 weeks. It would be great minus the no rain in over a month part. I am currently surrounded by 2 brush fires, each about 5 miles away in opposite directions. This is the second year in a row where fires have been this close. Prior to last year, I had never seen this before for the area.
The lack of rain gets brutal. Around 9 years ago California didn't get any rain for two full years, and man, it was gross there. I visited and as we were landing it looked like we were diving into a bowl of beef broth. Everything smelled like dirt, car pollution, and forest fires.
