Inspiration & Reference
I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

Beautiful Photo Gallery 
Stone City Of Petra 
More Petra 
Petra... 
... would be a very good basis for map... sure ! And BTW, the photos on the websites are very good .. 
Czg 
please let those of us who actually have jobs know in advance when you've linked a girl with a fucking ball gag in her mouth in a thread about architectural reference thanks 
Oh Come On... 
Madison is a progressive town. I'm sure you have people in ball gags walking around the office. Even if they don't look like Maggie Gyllenhaal. 
Roman Port City Of Ostia 
These are not necessarily the best photos of it, but there's not bad for a start. Do some searches for "ostia" and you'll probably find more cool galleries.

I think thats Bettie Page 
Wewt 
Lots of pictures of lots of places...

Stumbled on to this looking for something else -- hooray for happy accidents!

This is actually a much more comprehensive list of everything on that site. 
Very Cool Art 
Nice Environments (3d Mostly) 
http://www.weiweihua.com/

and actually usefull for mapper-(wanna)bees. 
Dan Seagrave Art 
http://www.danseagrave.com

interesting images of strange environments and scenes. i particularly like the temple series (from which i also have two posters).
the only setback is that the site uses flash and opens in popups, which makes viewing the large versions of the images a pain.

e.g. http://www.acclaimposters.com/_gallery/large/10033052.jpg 
New Propaganda Tool 
Title says it all. If you've got up-and-coming q1 deathmatch releases, post pics here:

Glasgow Subway 
Slime

Holy Crap Metl

OMG 
The Clockwork Orange!

personal anecdote: my dad, trained civil engineer, worked on the modernising of the glasgow underground. That victoriana building about halfway down the page, the entrance to St. Enoch station, had to be jacked up in one piece - by 7mm iirc - so the tunnels below could be worked on.
My dad has dozens more photos of the project, but I shan't be asking him for more 'inspiration' :P

What a surreal reminder o_O 
Rocky Stuff 
Creepy Wax Heads 
Wtf 
Bal 
he he he ... They drowned some people in concrete ;P .. 
Bal: 
Contemporary thai artist making his own bhuddist temple after his own design. Apparently there's another artist that's answering with a black temple in the same city but haven't seen any of that.

This Painter is very good 
Shipbreaking 
The shipbreaking yards of Chittagong, Bangledesh. We've seen a few photos of them in this thread before, but I never knew the name of the place they came from. Apparently half of the tankers in the world are dismantled on this beach:

And this doesn't have anything to do with shipbreaking, but it came up in the search:

Also, this guy took some of the above pictures, check out his website for more cool photos at a lower resolution:
