Sitting Bull Falls
Hopefully this will be our next camping/hiking destination:
It was hard to find large pictures of the place...I found the above pictures here.
Sitting Bull Falls lies just northwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. "The water of the 130-foot falls is highly mineralized and has deposited a massive travertine bluff that towers over the picnic ground." There is also a cave hidden behind the waterfalls that is only accessible via an appointment with a park ranger.
Here is a set on flickr that shows the falls in a bit more detail, (including the swimming spots.)

Mogollon, New Mexico
A lady I work with mentioned a Ghost Town in the Gila National Forest that sounds like it'd be worth visiting. It would only take a few hours to get there, and from the photos I've seen, it looks like something straight out of a movie:
Could be interesting. Plus, it's always exciting to see what kind of collectibles are offered in odd, tucked away little towns.
(Pictures found via ghosttowns).

The Island of Eternal Spring
Madeira, Portugal is a place I would like to visit one day:
The pictures above can be found at the island's official tourism site.

Berlin's Propeller Island City Lodge
When I see places like this, I become overwhelmed by my desire to see the world:
The Blue Room
Space-Cube
Upside Down
Two Lions
Nightlight
Grandma's (complete with a toilet in the wardrobe)
Reception Area
Nightlight
From the hotels website:
"Everything is different! The Propeller Island City Lodge is a - truly - very extraordinary location. All rooms and objects were created by the German artist Lars Stroschen. Much more appropriate than "hotel" is the designation "living in a work of art". 30 rooms with an absolutely unique and personal ambience. "Unique" is meant literally, for the entirety of all furnishings and other objects you will discover here are custom-made, individual handiwork. None can be found anywhere else on this planet - one could consider the City Lodge to be a museum with guest accomodations or a stay-in work of sculpture."
