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!

Defense, possibly? Centuripe is ancient, founded back when such things were prime considerations.

Yup. TONS of little towns on hills like this. Often smaller. Always a keep and a church, often a tower.

Easy to defend, easy to see signals from neighboring towns, easy to spot invaders. Safe from seasonal flooding.
