And no one has mentioned Arches National park or Canyonlands National park yet.

There are all sorts of cool spots to inspire, most not all that far away. Over on the WAMP Malifaux Group, there's a thread with inspirational sites

I'm not sure if the thread will be visible to everyone; [ ... ]

 

The thread wasn't; what do you need to do to view it?

A Russian rocket factory and development area (not sure where).

 

 

The storm drains under Tokyo, Japan.

 

 

The Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, now demolished. Closest thing you'll find to a sci-fi dystopian city.

[Chaoswolf]

Are those pics that you took? If so, what's the story behind them?

 

I love the third one, BTW.

the first one is just a flooded cemetery, but there is a super cool one that is underwater in poland (?) that has some really cool history.

the second one is not a picture I took, but I have a very similar one from my trip there. It's Bagnoregio in Italy, and it is amazing. there are only like 15 people that live in the town and they (at that time) still brought a donkey down to get the water. 

The last one is just a cool picture that I like to look at how moss grows and drapes and whatnot.

Also, I want to have a picnic there.

Pinnacles National Park in California; not only for its interesting landscape but that it was declared a national park just two years ago, so it won't be immediately recognizable like features of other national parks. Also it's a release area for California condors.

Side note: Easter Island but where the heads rise up and you have to fight them off. LOL
