Virginia Falls

This part of some river in the Northwest Territories looks pretty cool with the huge amount of water coming through this rocky chasm. Also, it's in Canada's faraway Nahanni National Park Reserve.

Jog Falls

Jog Falls in Karnataka is apparently very strong and flowing at certain times of the year (post-monsoon, I suppose), and not so much other times due to a dam or something. The thing is huge though, so either way the area might be a really neat sight.

Rotorua

Touristy fun in New Zealand. They've got amusement parks here I think, along with some geysers.

Waipi'o Valley

This valley area of green canyons and shoreline looks stunningly beautiful. One could likely spend days exploring here finding incredible landscape views.

Prague

Prague is world-famous. Its architecture gives the city a nice atmosphere, and it seems to have pretty scenery, as well as a historic Prague Castle complex. There's a famous Frank Gehry building here, too, I think.

Madeira

This island in Portugal looks stunningly beautiful in places. The dramatic coastline around Paul do Mar has twisting roads going around the area, with many amazing views of the mountains, ocean, and the town below. The mountaintop of Pico do Areiro offers dazzling scenery, both of it, and from it. Waterfalls, cities, and such can also be included in what could be seen here.

Sete Cidades

This caldera area of the Azorean island of São Miguel is beautiful. There are multiple lakes here, at the bottom of abstract bowl-like craters with towns and villages within. The views look fantastically stunning.

Corvo

The island of Corvo is apparently the smallest of the main islands in the Azores. In three dimensions, the island might look like a shoe, with the majority of the island being a huge volcanic cone with a large caldera. This caldera is the main reason I want to visit the island, I think. The views from the rim look beautiful, and down below are some lakes with great views of the upward-sloping land, which seem to host farms tilted on the terrain. There's a small flat part in the south of the island, which I'm guessing is where the main population area is.

Pompeys Pillar

This thing in Montana is kinda famous for being a location along Lewis and Clark's trail, it seems, along the Yellowstone River. It appears to have a mark left by William Clark. Might as well check it out if in the area.

Brecon Beacons

This mountainous, grassy, lakey part of Wales looks lovely. A certain spot called Llyn y Fan Fach in particular is a good example, it appears.

Uvac Canyon

A pretty and pretty twisty canyon in Serbia. Looks quite beautiful.

Mount Cook

The iconic-looking Mount Cook can be seen from below, including from various lakes, which could be quite a beautiful sight.

Usambara Mountains

These mountains in Tanzania look enormous, with great views up there.

Mount Sinai

There's a mountain in eastern Egypt called Mount Sinai. I'm not sure if it's THE Mount Sinai, but this one currently called Mount Sinai might be an interesting visit whether or not it's the actual one.

Kirkjufell

This is a mountain in western Iceland by the town of Grundarfjordur. It looks quite beautiful and monumental.

Nicosia

Cyprus's capital city is kinda divided between those two sides that seem to have kinda divided the nation for a while. The architecture here might be neat to check out, also the cultural influence of both sides. If you look at a map of the city, it seems that there's an interesting circular/star-shaped "Old City" in an interesting arrangement.

Blackpool Tower

An apparently famous tower in England, apparently built before 1900. Huh.

Loch Ness

A very famous loch in Scotland. There's at least one well-placed castle (settingwise, perhaps) by Loch Ness, which could be a great place to admire the view.

Windsor Castle

Impressive residence of British royalty.

Sintra

The Palacio de Pena (Pena National palace) near Lisbon is a Portuguese castle on an impressive hill setting. Something particularly neat about this one is its pretty multicolored exterior. :)

Sintra in general seems to be a pretty portuguese place with castles and stuff
also one of the castles has a bunch of cool looking wells and that castle is called Quinta da Regaleira and the well is the Initiation Well it seems weird check it out

Smith Rock State Park

Some beautiful desert-like landscape in Oregon including a river, but featuring some great rocks with a magnificent-looking presence.

Haystack Rock

This tall rock island just some hundred feet off the coast of mainland Oregon looks neat along with its smaller neighbor rocks, with the sandy beach nearby and slopes in the background.

Augrabies Falls

Waterfall in a canyon in northwest South Africa. Looks cool.
