Real life places that would make great models for terrain

Horsetail Fall's firefall in Yosemite Park. So cool!

The monument "Sverd i fjell" (Swords in rock / mountain) outside Stavanger in the west of Norway, to commemorate the Battle of Hafrsfjord, a sea battle between Viking factions for the throne of Norway around the year 872 where they lashed their longboats together and had it out on the decks, staining the sea red. 

The swords are over 9 metres  /yards tall 

This momument has always struck me as as a massive landmark akin to the giant Argonath statues along the river that the  fellowship of the rings sail past in the first part of the Lord of the Rings

Here is something for those looking at doing some industrial or post-apocalyptic terrain.

Did you know it snowed in the Sahara in January? The photos are really neat, white on red. My Egyptian Frostgrave figs are in for a rude awakening. It will also solve the dust problem on the terrain.

I'd like to finish any terrain build within my lifetime so I doubt I'd try to recreate that building but I do like the idea of a wedge shaped building as far as making things a bit interesting tactically.  May have to make one.

Some of the patterns are really intricate, so i would never try to copy the whole look. But the colours and the woodwork might be an Inspiration.

Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, Romania. That's a vampire's dwelling if I ever saw one (it is located in Transylvania).

Kuang Si Falls in Laos. Very pretty, for RPG terrain makers could use it as a model to build fey encounters, or something else.
