Some random photos that I took of places in America that have me wanting to write:
Yellowstone: A place of unfamiliar landscapes. I saw colors of such vibrancy I didn't know existed in nature. I've always wanted to write a sci-fi story based in Yellowstone. I think if it were described accurately and well, it would seem foreign and alien.
Yosemite: Such a dramatic place that could be used for an intense story of a hike or climb gone wrong. The place is full of potential death. I say that lightly, as there has been actual deaths there, and recently too. But beside that grim point, still a good setting nonetheless.
Boone Hall Plantation near Charleston, South Carolina: This was such an astounding place, but also one that would be perfect for a horror story. Everything about this place can be seen as both beautiful and ominous. It would definitely be fun to play with mood and tone here to give it a creepy feel.
Sometimes I forget of everywhere I've been when writing a story. Instead of always making up settings from scratch, I should start creating what I've seen and experienced in my writing and then bring my imagination to the actual story that takes place there.
