So idk about the rest of you, but I'm always looking for cool new things to use as inspiration in my stories and that's what this thread is for. Use it to post pictures of cool people, places, animals, or anything else that could serve as inspiration for worldbuilding.
Just remember to be tasteful with your pictures. I can't see any reason why anyone would be posting sensitive content here, but if you find something neat, but maybe NSFW make sure you hide it behind a spoiler.

I'll get the ball rolling with a couple of neat pictures from my trips over the years:

A strangling fig tree

here it is on the inside:

Belvedere Palace, Vienna, Austria

Ta Prohm Temple, Cambodia

An underground church in the Wieliczka Salt Mines in Poland

wow this is so cool, that'd be a great setting for my story!
