Spring RTS Engine

Post some inspiring material for maps here?
I can start:

Images from Mars orbit

I got very inspired when I watched a film called Koyaanisqatsi. It's on play.com if you're interested. Absolutely beautiful landscapes and images.

definitely a thought-provoking film, yeah.

Wiki fullfills most needs for inspiration.. hit the Random Button

Google Earth + Random pieces of China or Antartica etc...

open up Annihilator and throw random tile together, see what you get out of it. thats ussually what i do.

You can droll over here ( http:/ /photo.accuweather.com)

My subwoofer does NOT appreciate me playing the theme to that at full :)

Google earth is good for inspiration...I'll post some good coordinates if I remember where I put them.

I think somebody already mentioned Lord of the Rings... but here go some photos from New Zealand:
