The best looking zone

I'm intrigued. What zones do people like the look of the most and why? And do you have a fave zone based on looks or serveral or perhaps 1 fave per continent?

I ask because obviously in Cataclysm alot of the zones are going to change and I think it'd be nice to take a look at how this currently look and the things we love about it for the last few times before it's changed.

This isn't a "omg please don't change the zones" thread, just wanting to burn in a few fond memories, especially to the new players, before we all go drooling over and falling in love with the new look most zones will have.

I myself am very fond of ashenvale, I find it very peaceful and beautiful, will be sad to see it mostly cut down, but I imagine this is going to open up some very tasty nelf vs orc action.

Azshara is also another of my favourites, hoping this zone will see quite a bit of work, so few quests/towns/reasons to go there seems like a really missed opportunity.

As for eastern kingdoms stranglethorn vale is pretty awesome looking, makes me feel all piratey and like i'm on holiday or something, always loved "the jungle book" stories and pirates/carribean stories "treasure island" a favourite of mine and this zone just oozes that kind of adventure and danger.

Outland has only one contender really, nagrand is just freaking epic from the air, nuff said. (not getting changed ofc, different planet and all)

Lastly northrend, ice crown looks pretty awesome with it's mordor theme, tho i'd probably have to say sholazar basin with it's life pillars takes the cake, plus it's linked to ungoro crater which was an awesome zone(one word: dinosaurs)

my all time favourite zone tho has to be darnassus, so pretty.
