New WotLK screenshots on the official site

Now clearly both show a forested, lush area, and there is only one forest that we know of is Northrend so far: Grizzly Hills, supposedly a redwood type of forest home to the Northern Furbolgs. This forest, however, looks a little greener than that-- it may be the Sholazar Basin, which we haven't seen screenshots of yet. Obviously the creature above is some new kind of Dryad, so that means we may see traces of Cenarius in Northrend, and when you mention Cenarius, you have to mention the Emerald Dream. So we may find out more about that line of lore in Northrend as well. Very interesting.

I think that this might be Crystalsong Forest (http://www.wowwiki.com/Crystalsong_Forest). It would explain the dryad and the druidic environment.

Hmm... So much for a T-rating.
Rated M for tree nudity.

Too bad the graphics engine doesn't look any better. The graphics are getting long in the tooth.
Warhammer Online here I come, when it comes out.

I'm curious as to why that zep is on fire in that one picture.
Also, come to think of it, whats with the Zep way above Org?

This is all trying to promote tree s3x o.O, and we thought blizzard was all about blocking adult content. Tsk tsk!!!

Yeah, look at the back legs just... hovering over the water. Nice.

Gives a new meaning to the word "treehugger."

Haven't you been to Moonglade? There is a tree like those behind Keeper Remulos.
