Reader Ginevra of Skullcrusher sends in this shot that I imagine most of our audience will recognize as Northshire Abbey, the starting point for many an adventuring human. Just think it's a boring old building? Well, let me be the first to point out that, while Blizzard frequently reuses architecture throughout the game, this abbey is completely unique. (To be fair, most of the starting areas have unique architecture.) And Ginevra points out a resemblance to Van Gogh's
The Church at Auvers. No, it's not a precise duplicate, but the colors and and angles have some similarities.
Do you have a unique shot of Azeroth or Outland that you'd like to show off to the rest of the world? Tell us about it by e-mailing
aroundazeroth@gmail.com! Or perhaps you'd just like to see more of your pics from
Around Azeroth.

There's one at Tyr's Hand too.

Agreed. There is one at Tyr's hand. You need to go there for the Blood Elf Epic mount quest.

Damm. Beaten to the Tyr's Hand comment.
Still only be3ing used twic is pretty cool. Hopefully in WoTLK, Blizz will introduce more unique and varies arcatecture for the Alliance and Horde - cos the Horde Halls and the Alliance castles/town centres are getting pretty boring.

Wow, that's a great screencap. I never much paid attention to the buildings themselves in WoW, but that's an incredible view.

So, how exactly do you submit pictures for this? What am i supposed to say in the email to aroundazeroth@gmail.com?

Not just Tyr's hand, but Hearthglen as well, I believe. But given how few quests take you to either place, it's as good as unique, really...
