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!

The river looks a bit blue, but otherwise the trees looked alright. Not the most egregiously saturated I've seen, especially compared to the HDR fad a few years ago.
The removal of the wires is slightly more suspect.
Hm, the colours of the houses looked extremely unnatural to me. That's why I went and searched for other images. But I guess colour perception is not really the same for everyone, so it's very subjective. Different displays and settings don't help either.
I would have given the benefit of the doubt on the wires because I've been in several German villages in the last years that got rid of roof-to-roof wires and instead put them in the ground. But based on the size of the trees my picture with the wires seems more recent.
In your photo, there is an old building near the chimney on the right. It's gone in the photo in the post.
About two years ago, it has been torn down and rebuilt.
Totally agreed on colour perception. It's frustrating when I'm trying to edit a photo then see it on someone else's phone and the colours are completely off. State of mind also affects perception; I feel like colours are more intense when I'm a bit tipsy, and very muted when I'm tired and depressed.
Looking at it again, I would guess that the photo app has tried to compensate for a middling phone camera.
Is that the only view without any tourists in?
