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!

That building in the background is the Sankoré Madrasa. It was originally a mosque, built about 600-700 years ago, and it has to be repaired every year after the rainy season dissolves some of the mud bricks. Those posts on the pyramid bit are basically scaffolding for people to climb up for the repairs

they also look cool as hell and probably provide structural integrity
