First, I want to say I love Skyrim. I played it for over 175 hours and thats a lot for me. Thats well worth the price of admission.

Anyway, I was thinking today that there isn't any "wonderous" places in Skyrim....or Oblivion for that matter. For example, in Morrowind there was a hollowed out huge tree that was home to a group of mages or something and to get into the heart of it you had to have a levitate spell. IMO, thats quite different than the run-of-the-mill doorway.

I know there are dragons and such but thats not what I'm talking about. Like, theres a mod (dunno if it's finished yet) where a castle is on a hovering island with stairs winding upward to it or something like that. That, to me, is really cool, but theres nothing like that in Skyrim.

Why?

Blackreach?

Eldergleem Santuary looks cool also, as does the are around Hag's end

There is no sight more wonderous in all the Elder Scrolls games than Solitude from a distance, in my opinion. Also the College of Winterhold. As far as wonderous artistic design goes I think Skyrim beats every other game in the series, hands down.
