Um
Why? Easier if someone just extracts the ones they want, and people probably wouldn't want it as original, but preferrably scribbled on more rough pieces of parchment/skin/marble or the like.

yeah, convert ones u need, but you might loose all the beauty of the high resolution. it's better to use them in moreadvanced engines that supports hi res texes.
My Idea...

.. was to convert some of these pics in order to use the most interesting one as general HQ strategy maps, like you can find in Wolfenstein, etc... Anyway, I will try by myself to see if it's interesting or not...

that guy is so good, a lot of the paintings look like they're in-game. Thanks for the inspiration Kinn; though that guy has no right to be that talented.

or maybe he renders something and then paints over it.

Jago, CG = computer graphics, using photoshop/painter/etc = CG, so yes obviously those are CG as far as I'm concerned (I kind of doubt he did them with traditional means).
But if you mean 3D renders, yeah, he probably renders some stuff before doing a paint over (but I know it's possible to do that kind of stuff without it really).

My best friend gave me a Blade Runner city scene print before going back to college, my first thought, 'we would assumed this to be CGI instead of hand painted matte if we did not know its origins.'

Thanks for the link. To my surprise, most of those textures are tilable so they can actually be used in a game.

the huge bridge between sweden and denmark is like that too, there's an artificial island where it goes underground/water. One can see it from the airplane is one flies to/via copenhagen (SAS hub so it's likely if you travel in the north).
There are also small dam/bridge combinations in the north (seen them in sweden) where there is first a dam that overflows evenly from the whole width and then the water runs over a road that is a couple meters lower - it's only a few cm deep when the flow is normal so you can drive on the road over the river. But it feels strange since on the other side is a thin wall holding huge amounts of water, and if there was a flow increase, it would flow over the dam and your car would be washed away. Shame I didn't have a camera with me.
Kanyakumari

My own translation of the important bits:
Kanyakumari: Located in the southernmost part of India, Kanyakumari is the point where three seas join: the bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. The legend behind the temple is as romantic as the place itself. Dedicated to the virgin goddess Kanyakumari (Parvati) who is proud to protect the country. The temple is built on the top where she was created and she waits for her consort to come and ask her hand in marriage.
After the tsunami???
I wish there were more shots close up. It looks like there might be some cool details.
