Fantastic Locations II: Pictures of the Unknown

[Yora]

Since we're not allowed to use old threads anyway, that saves me the trouble of hunting down the old one. (Though if anyone has a link, I will add it to this post.)

I occasionally stumble upon images that just look like awesome seeds to build really cool adventure locations on, which are way too good not to share. Anyone who comes upon similar things, please post them here. And please use spoiler tags for all your images (the last button with the "Spoil" speech balloon).

Glowing oceans and sky walking? Yes please.

I probably wouldn't use it looking just like that, but a couple of towers rising out from the middle of the sea are a really cool idea. Perhaps they are just the spires of an even larger castle under the water.

I'll just link to some good collections:

I would. For Star Wars or WH40k. Easily. It's got that perfect used, rusted tech look. Gun battle between the platforms. Melee on the gangway. Villian gets knocked into the acid-like water below, only to be saved by a henchman in a shuttle/skiff. He gives you the finger (whatever that is in spaaaaaace) as he glides away. And then a missile/bomb/grenade strikes one of the supports.

One episode of Ghost in the Shell has a big illegal second hand weapons bazar on a derelict oil rig.
