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!

Okay, that's seriously cool.
Up until you get the first leak in the roof.
Then suddenly your cool rooftop pond is in the living room. Fish and all.
Bah, that's quitting talk! Cool things are often dangerously electrified, on fire or actively exploding. Possibly all three. That's how you can tell they're cool.
Stop bragging about your sex life... ...call me!
Can I join?
Yes, but you're in charge of fire because I always end up dropping it.
Me fire good. Make big fire!
It looks like the ponds are built around the buildings rather than on top of them
I would think mosquitoes would be a bigger problem than floods. At least on a daily basis.
Not necessarily. Depends on the area, and how the ponds are set up. Mosquitoes require stagnant water to hatch, with the appropriate wildlife and water recirculation you can avoid them.
