Has there ever been a point in a game where you pretty much dropped everything you were doing at that moment just to stop and stare?
For me, there have been quite a few moments. For example:
I imagine some of you folk recognise this. It's a shot taken in Oblivion, a game that has aged well aesthetically, on the main road that links Chorrol and Bruma.
I took this screen cap just prior to making this post, but it wasn't the first time I stopped and stared at this same point. In one play through I had a done something that increased the draw distance of the game beyond its standard parameters and the resulting view was amazing... though the fps hit was far too much for me to fully appreciate at the time.
So... fellow escapees and escapettes. Tell us of (or better yet, show us) those special moments in gaming where you saw something so wonderful, you just wanted to frame it.
Note: Topic title is a bit misleading, it doesn't have to be specifically a vista, but any aesthetically pleasing view in game.
EDIT: Nobody posted any pictures of natural Minecraft formations yet. Because of a save file corruption I can't load up any personal images, but I located an awesome Cliff face on a google image search. Just putting forward more ideas.
