In this thread, however, we post images and media of places around Earth that may be filled with interesting lifeforms, but what we're more interested in is the pure ambience and scenery

The village of Castelluccio above the Piano Grande, Umbria, Italy.

I've been meaning to use such a scene for a story. Actually, I think this did inspire one in an Amazon ebook I wrote; this one passage from Ghosts of Smoke about splotches of sunlight on colorful plains and whatnot.

I often switch between Firefox and Chrome, and was browsing in Firefox when I posted that. Yeah, in Chrome there's a play button, which appears when you mouseover. It's less obvious in Firefox, as there isn't a play button, but you can just click the image and it should play.

Apparently, the statue is located in Dublin, Ireland. I guess the photo is copyright protected, hence the need for a link.
