I started a thread on Hero Games that has links to hundreds of fantastic illustrations. I know there are a few dozen stunning mattes and digital paintings that you might find awe inspiring. There are other links but I usually try to indicate the nature to save time.

Don't forget The Forge Studios - they do lots of excellent art. Some of it you'll have to pay for, but there's also lots of free stuff on their site.

This one has a great many environments, mostly scifi, but a decent amount of fantasy and real ones.

There is free mini art gallery below nearly every our pdf at ENGS, eg. medieval landscapes.Red Moon Games said:
When there is no gallery, it means that full pdf is free to download from EnWorld Free Stuff. There are six our free pdf at EnWorld right now.

Don't forget Magic:the Gathering land cards.
Every set has four different pics each of five land types (Mountain, Forest, Plains, Swamp, Islands), and with, what, 18-20 or so sets now? times 20 pics per set, that's 400 landscapes for you, not counting the "special" lands. The pictures are small, but you can scan them and blow them up to about 2x size without them looking too crappy, plus if you search on the artist's name, many of the MtG artists have larger versions of some of their art on their personal websites. (The WotC site for MTG also often has larger-size artwork available as downloadable wallpaper, which I have often raided for landscapes, monster, and item illos.) And since land cards are "more common than commons", acquiring a handful of them is cheap - many players will give you a dozen or so for free.

I use Flickr (www.flickr.com) and just search for a place similar to what I need and the word landscape. For example the search vermont landscape brings up beautiful forest and mountain scenes, often without any trace of modern life in them.
