Show us...pictures from the cities/places that inspire you.

To start off, as everyone can probably guess, London inspires me most.

Denver and its surrounding suburbian subdivisions (Aurorah, Lakewood, Centennial) really intrigue me somehow. The sorta "planned community" style:- Fresh, newly built shopping plazas with big-box stores; swanky, identical townhouses within a post-WWII fused grid street system -- It just appeals to me, and I don't know (nor care) why.

The suburbs of Japan have always held a strange fascination with me, the closeness of buildings maybe.



The city is also fascinating

Well, it's not a picture... but that's the point. Maps, diagrams, 3D models, digital representations... you name it. That's what links me to Sim City, basically.

Something like this (off Wikipedia [linkie]):

Well, it's a free image. Many of this kind of images are proprietary and all - not going to use them. Moreover, it's an interesting article.

My inspirations are a bit more rural, as you might guess...

[WannGLondon]

Currently, I am inspired by London's suburbs and their hilly parks that offer amazing views.

I like the cool 'main streets' in the suburbs too.

And of course, the famous busses.

Well, I'm inspired by the mid density residental areas of Manhattan... like the Upper West Side..
those beautiful brick w2w houses with small stairs at the enterance always show pleasent and warmth
