Inspirational Images: Real World D&D Locations

Now *this* is a dungeon.

I imagine it looked something like this where Beowulf swam to find Grendel's mother's lair.

If you can't put this in an adventure, you need to go back to DM school.

And, finally: a wizard lives here. or a vampire. or a vampire wizard.

Rechan,

Look closely at the area a little below, and a little left of the center of the image with the crystals.

Yes, I see the guy. I'm just trying to get an idea of what the place is. It seems just like some crystal pillars fell over. Is that a cave? Some ruins?

I missed the guy first time I looked at image, figured you might have done the same.

It looks like a cave, brown walls are visible behind the crystals. The guy is there to give
a sense of scale.

It is in facta cave, in south america I believe. The crystals grow so large because it is hot, humid and full of minerals. Here's a link to tell you more.

Always find this place intriguing:

Yucumã Salt in southern Brazil / north Argentina frontier. The river just bends to its side, causing a 3Km horizontal waterfall.

GOt a book full of world inspiring pictures at my father's house.
