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!

Took this today. Part of the little town I'm currently in. Not quite as far north as Kiruna but still pretty dang north in Sweden

Beautiful photo!

My mind tried to make this a 2D cartoon with no depth in a way that was so-close to vomit-inducing, my tongue started to do the thing and my neck twitched ...

... thankfully, some other part of my mind near-simultaneously went "wait, that's actually really pretty" and shocked me into watching those buildings leaping out-of(?) my screen in a pleasant and relieving manner.

The most shocking part to me was that very last bit.

Its funny you said that. My first 2 thoughts went like this, "that is beautiful! And also look delicious!"

And now im trying to figure out why now.

Its like a cake with white icing with colorful sprinkles.

People just shove any sized chimney any-fucking-where in Sweden, huh?

If I lived that far north in Sweden I'd not be letting my neighbour's tiddly little chimney stop me from building a fireplace big enough to risk torching the whole building

Pug, I think it might be against the rules to just post scanned Christmas cards.

I like all the colors of the buildings poking through the white snow.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Good! The colors are ment to prevent depression.

I always love winter, especially winters with deep layers of snow.

No matter how shitty, poor, ugly or dirty your town is .... it always looks cozy and wonderful during the middle of winter.
