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!

This village in the Cotswolds is from the 17th century, according to a quick Google search, and those are "weavers' cottages".

Did it always look like this, or did it go through a process of neglect/decay and then was restored? I wouldn't think that the grime and soot of the Industrial Revolution reached the Cotswolds, did it? In my mind, that part of England always kept a Shire-like charm, was where the city folk went to "get away from it all".
