Images to spark creativity

I've been thinking about running a victorian era game (based on 5e or maybe a completely different system) and it's led me to find images like the old london bridge:

Then there is the Ponte Vecchio in Florence which looks to still be there:

And here is something similar in China which is apparently mostly abandoned after failing to bring in some tourism:

I like the idea of some part of a city's infrastructure being used for housing or market buildings and think I'll definitely have to throw something like this into a game.

Been thinking of gaming with the Old London Bridge too. Map would be a long straight dungeon. :)
 

AI images for the most or at least Photoshopped (which may be a term no longer used and by using it is showing age). The Switzerland image I have no clue about, if it is real I found where I want to be, think it has been "enhanced", flowers added, maybe the waterfall.

I stuck something very similar in a megacavern by in 2e. The duergar were running a magitech railroad over the thing and it bridged a major Underdark river, making it a vital trade artery.

The PCs wound up wrecking it and dropping the whole kit and kaboodle in the the drink, killing hundreds in the process and wrecking the local economy beyond repair. Which was certainly one way to lower demand for surface-world slaves, but the people who hired them were kind of expecting to get most of the kidnap victims back instead of having their corpses eaten by river monsters.
