A list of my favorite areas in Thief Deadly Shadows.

Screenshots:

This small room is accessed early during the Rutherford's Manor level, by climbing up into a window. The blue light that casts into this small room as you see a lonely guard gazing out through the window and a locked chest right next to him.	The central cathedral hall in St Edgar's Eve. The large stained glass window in the center that blankets the interior with a dark, blue, moonlit light.	Another view of the cathedral main hall. Garret looks angelic in the light.
The East wing exterior of St Edgar's church. The massive archways that curve over and almost enclose the outer walkway give a sense of scale to the building.	Outside of the estate, there is a small building that you exit out of from the underground entrance. The roof is low enough that you can mantle up to the top. There isn't any real reason to get up here, but it gives a nice view of the sea and the outer courtyard. It's peaceful up here.	Once you enter the clocktower by visiting an isolated back corner of the city and climbing up and into a vent, you reach the inner workings of the clocktower. At the top, is a large room with gears turning and a huge stained glass window shining with midnight blue.
In the Old Quarter, there are many rooftops that you can traverse to get around quickly and unseen. The view from up here is much better too. The game could have used more rooftop traversal in the other districts of The City.	The outer area of Shalebridge Cradle is rather empty and ominous. There is a foggy alleyway on the Western side that looks like it leads somewhere, but is just a dead end. There is something really creepy about this area that really helps set the tone of this level.	The dimly lit marble hallways of the museum are very reminiscent of The Dark Project. This location encapulates what I love about Thief.
The inner courtyard of the museum is a large dark and creepy looking garden. You feel enclosed around its walls and the clausterphobic feeling gets worse as you look down and see just how far it goes. Then you look up and see cloudy night sky giving you a small reminder that you're outside.
