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!

Yes, although it's the other way around.

Tatooine is actually based on a real place in Tunisia (Tataouine) which is also near/inside the Sahara desert

This is so beautiful. Also the other posts about Mali. Incredible! Please keep on sharing (I just assumed that you are the author of all of these).

Boob joke, house with a face comment or Star Wars reference, I can't decide!

Nailed it, no regrets.

Although I don't imagine they get a lot of hurricanes in Mali, that shape has been suggested to be something like hurricane and tornado resistant if not -proof.

I know the Sahara can get some nasty wind storms.

Haboobs are serious business.
