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!

Crazy how they still haven't figured out how to keep the whole city in the same timezone.

Those spacetime experiments came at a weird price.

Seeing the squared ringed buildings always bring back memories of SimCity on the SNES.

Took me far too long to realize that each side wasn't a pic from the same spot. Took looking at the cathedral for it to finally click.

On two separate occasions I've had the good fortune to visit friends in Barcelona who lived in this part of the city. From my limited experience and as a very picky person, I have to say this city works very well, it is a vibrant and safe place to be. I love Barcelona.

Night and day though.

Is this really "beauty"? Don't get me wrong; Barcelona is awesome. But I see those "gated structures" and I think more of Judge Dredd 3D.
