Khami Ruins

Big ruins in Zimbabwe.

Bandiagara Escarpment

A beautiful cliffs area in Mali which is actually quite long (over 100 miles) which along with being beautiful also has some interesting history and architecture of the Dogon people. Looks quite unique and picturesque.

Osaka

This city has the Umeda Sky Building and Osaka Castle, which both look pretty cool.

Kinkaku-ji

The Golden Pavilion, aka Kinkaku-ji, is a famous Kyoto landmark.

Adrspach-Teplice Rocks

Area with cool huge rock towers. (learned from "theguardian")

Old castle in ruins I guess, but still visible and prominent. Looks like a neat setting.

Tupiza

City in Bolivia with neat red rocks to explore.

Fuerte de Samaipata

Old archaeological site in Bolivia with impressive architecture and great views.

Mount Kailash

Just to view, probably, not to climb. Famous mountain in Xizang. Seems to be fairly popular among certain religious groups. The shape of the mountain looks pretty. (I'm getting a lot of these from BBC Travel today.)

Ranakpur Temple

A Jainist temple in Rajasthan. The architecture looks pretty impressive.

Jericoacoara

Sandy coastal place in CearĂ¡, Brazil. Looks pretty.

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore

Pittsburgh

Where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers join to form the Ohio River, there's the city of Pittsburgh. This position at the confluence looks pretty neat with the skyscrapers, bridges, and pretty forested mountain scenery around. There are at least a couple funiculars here (inclined rail car things that go up/down a mountain slope) that go up Mount Washington, from which there are great views of the downtown city. This looks like quite a nice city.
