Cities, Towns, Villages, Hamlets

A lot of touristy postcards depict cities - the multi-view version will have a main section showing an important 'something' in a particular city with side sections showing other parts of that city or town.  I don't really mind this type of typical tourist postcard.  It does give one a flavour of a particular place.  But of course I do like the single-view well-presented postcard of a city or town so much more.
