Your pictures look simply amazing... It really makes me feel like going outdoors to shoot scenes like that. Unfortunately, I'm too busy right now. Luckily I can enjoy your photography in the meantime 
TX. I don't have enough stuff to take diorama pictures, but I live in a part of Ohio called Allegheny Plateaus, which is far less populated than the rest of the state. "Most of Ohio is of low relief, but the unglaciated Allegheny Plateau features rugged hills and forests." <Wikipedia> Forests, state parks, & lakes are everywhere; & taking pictures is a good excuse to get out. Closest state forest is 20 minutes away.
