Show us the most beautiful scenery you can find.

Bodiam Castle, a few miles from where I live in East Sussex, is simply beautiful. Even moreso are ruined castles on top of a hill or cliff like Corfe Castle.
While Warcraft wasn't exactly designed with beautiful terrains in mind, it certainly hasn't stopped people from making their own.
An earlier page image. (Aria)
- Image represents the Bridge of Sighs, in Venice, Italy. Called the Bridge of Sighs because condemned criminals would get their last glimpse of Venice through the little window on the bridge.
Screenshots from the Myst series: Myst, Riven, Exile, Revelation
Here, here, and and here (okay, some of them).
The good people of Deviant ART show us what it's like to take flights above the clouds.
A shot of Ostagar from Dragon Age.
Swifts Creek, Austrailia.
Whitehaven Beach, Queensland.
Lord Of the Rings:
- Rivendell in the film,
- And from a different direction.
- Looking out from the top of Minas Tirith...
- And looking up from the bottom.
- Minas Tirith at Dawn, by Ted Nasmith
Miner's Castle, a rock formation on the southern coast of Lake Superior
It would be impossible to summarize just how beautiful the scenery in Baten Kaitos is with just one screencap. So here's several. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Monument. Valley.
From Avatar: The Last Airbender, we have this.
Any picture taken by this Deviant user.
Have you ever seen a lunar rainbow, indeed....
- On that note, have you ever seen one at Yosemite Falls?
A still image from Coraline shows that the Laika animation team might have just won over this trope.
Ocarina of Time had some nice scenery, didn't it? Well, take a gander at this.
Illium from Mass Effect 2.
Pilot Mountain in North Carolina, especially on its highest accessible point. In fact, the entire northeastern area of NC is full of Scenery Porn.
This Trope is the only reason for the Hallelujah Mountains in Avatar.
In its day, the first Unreal was awe-inspiring.
Any painting by Albert Bierstadt. Seriously.
Coruscant from Star Wars.
This cityscape.
