Places that could be in Tamriel

So yesterday I had to drive to my family's ancestral home town of Stonehaven (which i now can't stop calling Stormhaven) for family business on the East Coast of Scotland.

On the way back i decided to stop at my favourite castle just a few miles outside of town and it struck me, that this could be a scene straight out of Tamriel, with imposing cliffs, deep valleys and wild seas bombarding a ruinous castle. I wondered if anyone else knows places they can relate to that feels could have came from Tamriel.

Anyway, here are some pics of mine and some I found on the net that are just way better than my attempts.

    Dude, you ever head south on the 101 from the Valley into Hollywood and see the Wisdom Tree on top of Burbank Peak (just before you get to Universal City)?

    Every time I see it, I think it looks like a lone Netch off in the distance.

    Edit: Found a pick. Now imagine this from a mile away.

    Where I live in Northern California always reminds me of the Colovian Highlands (on the other side of the stone fence from Gold Coast). A couple of pics on a hiking trail below ...

    I know they're working on Vvardenfell ... but would personally like to see the Colovian Highlands in a future update some day ...

    Definitely would fit as a Breton Castle somewhere along the northern coast of Glenumbra.

    Sadly North America doesn't have much in the way of Fantasy looking landscapes/architecture. Being just 240 years old, my nation is just a child compared to other civilizations.

    Hey @andreasranasen and @Rohamad_Ali, fellow Angelenos, you know we don't live that far from Joshua Tree or the Mojave, both of which look a lot like Craglorn?

    @andreasranasen Dude, I used to work in an office in Santa Monica. Everyday from Van Nuys to Santa Monica - hour and a half each way - 12 miles.

    This is why I pay an outrageous amount to live near work. It's either high rent or a heart attack, I figure.
