* ''Webcomic/LeifAndThorn'': [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/leaves-that-are-green-121/ First strip of the "Leaves That Are Green" storyline]], and again in [[http://leifandthorn.com/comic/leaves-that-are-green-421/ a view of Leif's hospital room]], doubling as a bittersweet IdenticalPanelGag.
* ''Webcomic/EllieOnPlanetX'': Sometimes entire strips are devoted to [[http://ellieonplanetx.com/comic/curiouser-and-curiouser/ showcasing the pretty scenery]].

* ''UmiNoMisaki'' might hold the record for the most panels without any characters or action in them. The manga is full of panels showing of the beautiful island that are used by the author to set the mood.

* This was done extensively in the first storyline in ''{{Concrete}}''. It had a page filled with tiny panels showing how laborious it was to swim across the Atlantic Ocean.

* Many establishing shots from ''TowerOfGod''.

* ''[[NofNA Nature of Nature's Art]]'' contains '''so much''' SceneryPorn, almost all of it silent.
* ''{{Goblins}}'' does this often when a new scene is introduced.
* ''{{Riceboy}}'' and ''{{Order of Tales}}'' contain tons of scenery porn. Evan Dahm's newest work ''{{Vattu}}'' is notable for having one word of dialogue in its first 11 pages. The word? Quiet.
* ''Xawu'' recently did this at the start of the second chapter. [[http://xawu.thecomicseries.com/comics/25 It's a Silent Scenery Comic.]]

* TsutomuNihei uses these a lot.

* Ashinano Hitoshi loves these things. At least one chapter of YokohamaKaidashiKikou contains no dialogue at all, and several others come quite close.

* A lot of ''{{Batman}}'' stories will end with a panel of Gotham's skyline.

* ''Webcomic/DrugsandKisses'' strips regularly start with one of these, especially when set outside the main characters' apartment.

* This was done extensively in the first storyline in ''{{Concrete}}''. It had a page filled with OverNineThousand tiny panels showing how laborious it was to swim across the Atlantic Ocean.

* A sort of special case in ''{{Gintama}}'', where it was invoked in the '''anime'''. That's right, anime. A few episodes begin by having only the yorozuya place background, and the characters talk about whatever.

* ''{{Hellboy}}'' has a lot of close-up shots of whatever artwork or statuary appears in the scene. (And make no mistake, wherever the characters go, there is ''always'' artwork or statuary.) Mignola seems to eschew large {{Splash Panel}}s in favor of close-ups of thematically important details.

* ''GunnerkriggCourt'' initially used a set of progressively smaller panels to indicate [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=90 the passage of time.]] As the comic progressed, this was condensed to the point that [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=289 a single scenery panel at the end of a page]] invariably signals a scene transition.

* ''{{UmiNoMisaki}}'' might hold the record for the most panels without any characters or action in them. The manga is full of panels showing of the beautiful island that are used by the author to set the mood.
* [[http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/345/13/ This]] ''{{Bleach}}'' page. It seems especially pointless considering that the page before it was almost exactly the same, but featured a partially obscured character.

* Xawu recently did this at the start of the second chapter. [[http://xawu.thecomicseries.com/comics/25 It's a Silent Scenery Comic.]]

* ''{{xkcd}}'': Back before he hit the big time, Randall Monroe used to post landscape sketches occasionally.

* ''{{Riceboy}}'' and ''{{Order of Tales}}'' contain tons of scenery porn. Evan Dahm's newest work ''{{Vattu}}'' is notable for having one word of dialogue in its first 11 pages. he word? Quiet.
