Cameron Lake
I had a picture of a scene with this lake looking south to Montana as my desktop wallpaper a while ago. It looks very pretty.
Spahats Falls
Another pretty waterfall scene in BC.
Helmcken Falls
Pretty waterfall scene in British Columbia.
Kluane National Park
HUGE MOUNTAINS IN YUKON AAAAAAAAAH
Ollantaytambo
Probably Inca ruins or something near Cusco. They have huge stairs or something like that and there are cool mountains and yeah.

Chandigarh
Some architect guy called "Le Corbusier" seems to have designed this Indian city and some of its buildings. There are some interesting shapes here.
São Paulo
This most populous city in Brazil seems to have some cool parks like Trianon Park and Independence Park. And probably other stuff too.

Lakshadweep
These very small islands off of Kerala's western coast are a union territory of India. Interesting. They're like the Maldives but not as popular maybe. Also, I read the Indian government doesn't allow foreign tourists on some of the islands, including the one with the "capital" city/town. Interesting. Kinda makes me want to see what this place is like... and if there's a legal way to visit that capital island. There's a lighthouse on one of the islands that looks cool and which has a beautiful viewpoint from its top.
Shimla
Capital of Himachal Pradesh. A mountainous city with pretty views or itself as well as mountain tree scenery, perhaps snowy too, an interesting-looking church, and other stuff I guess.

Kara Dag
Some Crimean nature place. Pretty topography. Natural arch in the sea. Thanks new Google Maps and Google Search and Discover Ukraine and others.
Dar al-Hajar
A famous old tower in Yemen built on/with rocks. Looks quite pretty and unique. Found something like this, maybe even this very thing, from the new Google Maps.

Providence Canyon
Seems like this kinda pretty "canyon" thing in Georgia I found in Google Maps is a weird result of poor farming practices??? Who knows. But a canyon in Georgia seems interesting enough.

Dinosaur National Monument
Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado and Utah features some beautiful geologic features like in Echo Park. Features features features. I guess it's famous for fossils too.

Na Pali Coast
Beautiful fantastical western edge of Kauai.
Phugtal Gompa
I'm guessing a Buddhist monastery in northern India. Found with a Google search including The Huffington Post.
Popa Taungkalat
Buddhist monastery thing in Myanmar. It's like a golden pagoda castle on a huge mountain pedestal. Looks neat. Found through a Google search including Environmental Graffiti and RatesToGo. Looks like there's also a national park featuring a Mount Popa around here.
Rhine Falls
Rhine Falls/Rheinfall is a waterfall or rapids thing in Switzerland on the Rhine River. Fairly famous in Europe maybe.

Grasslands National Park
Beautiful prairie in southern Saskatchewan, with a large hilly expanse of grassland. Seems like a great place for a no-fence, no-pavement hike. :) Found this on Google Maps- looks lovely. (Found a new trick today where you zoom out as far as possible so you see like the whole world, and then drop Pegman somewhere, and it seems to generally take you to quite a scenic location. Cool!)

Wallowa Lake
Discovered from Google Maps. Beautiful views at this Oregon lake, with the mountains to the south. Reminds me of New Zealand.
