I live outside of Denver now, but I don't know the city that well yet. The only landmark that comes to mind is a giant blue statue of a bear that's set up to be peeking in the windows of a museum downtown.<img src="http://amazingdata.com/mediadata23/Image/amazing_odd_interesting_funny_Denver---Big-Blue-Bear_200907232000232876.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />I previously lived in San Francisco. Some landmarks that might be inspiration-worthy:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Golden Gate Bridge, of course. A beautiful feat of functional engineering</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cable cars that carry passengers up and down incredibly steep hills, pulled by underground machinery</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Transamerica Pyramid - a tall, skinny pyramidal building</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Mission District - a part of town where immigrants from another country have settled and thrived. Lots of artwork and food from the other country are available here. It's a poorer area of the city, but lively.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Ferry Building - Situated right at the end of Market Street (sort of the city's main street), the building features a big clock tower, lots of shops and restaurants, and of course the ferry terminal itself.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alcatraz - An island prison in the middle of the bay. Within sight of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but separated by cold water with nasty currents (though good swimmers can manage the trip).</li> </ul>I could probably go on and on... I think San Francisco has all kinds of things that could be turned into fantasy versions for an urban setting.</blockquote>
