Maybe a combination of the two?

the superstructure is definitely a match to that uss princeton photo, but the hull doesn't really match either photo. it was possibly improvised.

the cannon is a union napoleon, this one is pretty close but the perspective isn't a perfect match:

For sure. That's surprising. Given that they're so similar in composition, I figured most of the water unit images were original. By the way, I've had no luck finding 3D models/miniatures that exactly match units.

barringer crater - first gis result. it's a 1:1 match

grand mesa (not the grand mesa at all, but some mesa in utah - about.com's mesa article)
i like this one a lot, it was flipped and warped, but they left all the trees and things in same spots, including the shadow of a house? under the tree

Mi-24 doesn't fly by itself.It's just so ugly that earth repels it.

That one is pretty shamelessly stolen, didn't even remove the shadow on the front.

They turned into a hole instead.

There seems to be a trend of adding trees/tall grass...

Oxford:

My guess is they used the right side and copied/flipped it to make the left side.

 

[Save_Ferris]

That's a pretty common angle for oxford.

 

[BenAxiom]

True, but the lighting in the Oxford photo isn't common.

Workshop

My guess is they used the right side and copied/flipped it to make the left side.

nice catch. it looks like it was done as four parts, the central area and right side, the left tower is a copy of the right tower not flipped, darkened and rotated slightly, and the left area is a copy of the right area but flipped. the angle of the shadows/windows all match except in that left area. finally they added grass and the path, which go about 1/3rd way up the first floor.

old faithful - or castle geyser in yellowstone:
i wouldn't be surprised if there's another source for the trees and or steam

From this site: "Actor Josh Hartnett holds the gavel as he prepares to ring the closing bell with director Austin Chick at the New York Stock Exchange July 11, 2008 in New York City. "

Looks like they put a different head on there, but the arm and gavel are a perfect match.

the stock exchange was posted earlier... unfortunately there are so many posts with no images. oh snap i just added another one =(
