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!

So much cute architecture lost in the bombing on both sides of the frontier

In Dutch they are called “vakwerkhuizen”. I live in South Limburg and we have a couple in our village. We visit Monschau often and they have a lot of them, one of the reasons we like to go there.
