You can't see this any more in real life, but between the filming of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Hobbiton was left abandoned and disassembled, the set stripped away. If you were to go there now, after The Hobbit, you'd find the hobbit village constructed for real and visitable.
This temporary relic remains only in photographic records now, and carries an empty quality that I like quite a bit.

Star Wars has a rich history of immediately recognizable imagery associated with it. We're used to seeing it on posters, book covers, movies, merchandise of all kinds. Seeing something without it can be pretty jarring...
This is a 1977 edition of the Star Wars original novel by George Lucas, published by the Science Fiction Book Club.

This is part of a digital book art project that looks really fantastic.
The artist, Airen Kang, has created here actual virtual books - they're not real books, they're sculptures. This project is called Light Reading, appropriately enough. One day I'd like to have bookshelves to highlight real physical books in a manner similar to this.
This one's so obvious I'd almost call it low-hanging fruit.
Every writer I know is a master at avoiding work. So much so that we pretty much need lessons on how NOT to avoid work.

Ahhh books, truly they are portals to realms of pure imagination.
It's only fitting to use book ends like these, then. I do love me some Portal. :)
