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!

Ah fuck I forgot my wallet.

Since it's a Buddhist temple, they'd probably want you to leave it behind anyways

I have to go and get it from the bottom of the mountain, as my training, don't I?

Imagine getting your groceries there after arriving from Costco.

I like how you don't mind driving from China to Costco but the stairs are the problem

Edit: Damn apparently they opened stores in China

Ah yes, The People's Republic of Costco. That's near Morroco isn't it?

A nice scenic view through Siberia, retracing the route our ancestors went by foot to create the first colonies of the new continent.

Imagine getting home and realizing that you forgot the milk.

China really does just see a piece of remarkable nature and says "Yeah, let's build there."
