I believe a mudslide or snowdrift pushed all the trees over when they were saplings

>>52162512
If this is the place I think it is, it's because of certain maggots that damaged the trees when they were young.

Come on, it's not that hard. What you should be worried about is the vomit inducing mix of clashing architecture styles that is London.

>>52162869
Yep, looks like your typical fantasy village at night. But that's 3D art and not real, right?

They'd look cosy if it weren't for the FUCKING ELECTRICITY WIRES EVERYWHERE. Not only is that borderline claustrophobia inducing, it kind of looks like a hazard to me. That a country as wealthy and advanced as Japan still uses overhead powerlines in urban areas so frequently... that's the kind of shit you'd associate with remote villages or third world countries.

Also, I'd like to challenge you guys a little: let's move away from fantasy and instead post cities you could see as a shadowrun environment. I'll post New York because that's easy, it's low hanging fruit.

That literally inspired the Disney castle, didn't it? I can see why, it looks just like a fairy tale castle. Though I did hear that so much money was blown on the exterior of the castle that the interior is rather underwhelming. Is that true?

Yes it's true, most of the hallways are barren. Also it is not only figuratively, but also literally a Disney castle, it was built by a literally schizophrenic king who blew the budget on it, and it was never lived in.
