You can tell it’s a colonial settlement in the new world because it looks like a medieval town in the old world only with wider streets and fewer storeys, i.e. what Portuguese colonists would do if they wanted to replicate the old country but had more space to work with.

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!
