;D I couldn't help but notice all of the beautiful forest suggestions, and I decided I wanted to help out, too!
So, here are some pictures of home sweet home, Alaska!
(This has gotten to be quite a lengthy thread. Tell me if you want me to stop posting pics! x3)
EDIT: Now, after being inspired by Kinga's environment ideas, I decided to post some pictures of Washington to go with these Alaskan ones. Washington truly is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, I only got to call it home for two years. While Alaska is my native state, I would like to think I was born in WA, too
(Some pictures of Oregon might get mixed in ^^')

Roosevelt Elk! You can find these suckers almost anywhere in Washington

A lake full of algae xD Good place to swim...if you're up for getting a bad case of Swimmer's Itch (rash)

Lightning on Rainier...

There's nothing like the flowers that grew on Mt. Rainier..
If you lived in Yelm, or any place near Mt. Rainier, this is what you saw if you looked in the distance. It was pretty, being able to see the mountain 24/7 from my house *u*

Unfortunately, forest fires are common in the summer of Alaska :c We had a big one this year that went on for months.
Wow...This is just...

Sadly, this pic is a bit low quality :c
Not sure if eagles are planned to be in the game, but I thought this pic was pretty~
I was generally looking for pictures without people in them, but this one was sooo pretty~
Why do I feel like I've been here before? ;~;
This reminds me of how it snows five inches where I live over the past two days >:O Wearing a Halloween costume is going to suck.

I went hunting out in Wickersham (Where this is), and I have to say it was the most beautiful experience ever. Unfortunately, we didn't catch any moose

D'AAAAW!

Fish! Sockeye Salmon, to be correct! I plan to catch one of these suckers some day ;D
(I took a picture almost exactly like this on my fishing trip in Valdez!)

(Note: Just in case the game does have the Aurora Borealis, it is said that any color other than green/yellow is rare ^^ I don't expect all, or any of these to be in-game, I just wanted to share with you the Last Frontier *No pictures are mine*)
