That link's deformed a bit - here's the right one. Also, an amazing picture from the Wikipedia page of the walled city, showing a rare patch of sunlight. Hard to believe someplace like that actually existed in real life.

OMFG! You guys are all fucking amazing. All these pictures are incredible.

Except for Rothenburg, Germany.  That place looks like Disney vomited a town.

This is photo manipulation just so you know. Still cool world inspiration though.

This reminds me of some great scenery from Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, and the portrayal of the Vogsphere in the Hitchhiker's Guide movie from 2005.

Saint Michel, Normandy, France.
It's the smallest municipality in France with only 44 inhabitants. It's basically this town situated on a small island. A chapel was built on the island as early as year 708.

Kumbhalgarh Fort, India

I love this thread by the way. I'm looking for some more unique modern settings compared to anicent/fantasy, if anyone knows of some. I should probably travel. Edit: Looking back at the thread it's pretty even in culture, nature and style, but things like city streets, gas stations, strange houses etc.

Especially when you realize that its estimated population density in 1987, according to Wikipedia, was 1,255,000/km2. Imagine that - over 30,000 living in just a couple of acres. Also according to Wikipedia, the rooftops were an often-used gathering place. Quite inspiring, if I do say so myself (though obviously not a place I'd even remotely consider living in).
