OK, not a screenshot, but I just ran across these and had to share.

 

Old Origin titles... title bars? Title graphics?

origin_title_mutant.png

origin_title_natural.png

origin_title_science.png

origin_title_technology.png

These were what was shown on the original Origin selection screen in the character creator if memory serves me right. Cool find!

Oooo when origins meant something more.

This was extremely difficult to screenshot, because it's a "blink and you'll miss it" thing. I finally managed to grab most of what I wanted, but it's still not all there.

 

Amidst the green clouds of whatever that is during Circle of Thorns rituals, you can spot a ghostly skull/face rising in the middle of it:

There's a gaping mouth at the bottom, not visible in this shot - the whole face vanishes almost immediately after the mouth becomes visible, so I had to "anticipate" a bit before I hit my screenshot key. Took four tries to get this much.

 

I don't know how many of these rituals I've run past without ever noticing it. I only spotted this one because I'd stopped to bust up another nearby ritual, and happened to be facing this direction when the face flitted across my vision.

Another sad victim of the Kronos Titan GM ambush in Founder's Falls:

EDIT: Kinda weird how one camera angle makes it look like she's somehow planking on the surface, but another angle makes her appear to actually be underwater.

Ran into an interesting problem last night. I was on my main character, Flaminatrix, and something went wonky when she entered the police station in Peregrine. She basically fell partway through the floor, and could see everything underneath. I couldn't see her at all, because the camera went weird as well, but judging by her line of sight, she must have looked like a head sticking out of the ground (if anybody else could see her). She exited the police station, and the problem persisted outside, and even after going into her SG base. I tried logging her out and back in, but that didn't fix the problem. So I logged her out again, and logged in a different character, only to discover that the problem persisted across characters. The second character was in City Hall, and I grabbed a couple interesting screenshots.

 

Looks like most everything is mirrored underneath. Probably because of the highly-polished floor with its fake "reflections":

This one is looking straight down into the "reflection" of City Hall's dome, and it looks pretty cool:

Anyway, logged the first character back in, and she was still stuck. Fortunately, quitting the game and then relaunching fixed the problem.

Is that your base or somewhere in the game?

That's in game. Access it via the door underneath the Ski Chalet Lodge in Pocket D.

That's the Winter Forest. In addition to the access point noted by @Glacier Peak you can access it via the Tunnel System, those glowing swirly things next to several train stations (I suspect they're redside as well, but I don't recall where.  Maybe the ferries?)

EDIT:  The Tunnel System only offers access during the during the holiday season. The rest of the year, you'll need to use the wood-in-rock door under the ski chalet in Pocket D.

 

If you've never been, I recommend visiting.  I wish more players knew of it.  There's vendors and an auction house guy there, but the real treasure is the characters of a number of players who've passed on.

You can actually access it year round @Techwright

 

Edit: Strictly through the route I mentioned. The other methods are time sensitive as you described.
