I've seen across the forum some pics that cought my attention, like those ones:

and

and so on and on and on...

now the questions are tow:

first: all those building that aren't part of the original game are downloaded from somewhere or are own creations of those who made them

second: this is not completely linked to the pictures. Does exist an editor to create in one shot a region without working trough the god mode every single city?

they are creation of those who made them and they have a City Journal to shoiw them off and yopu can download alot if not most of the from the STEX.

Second question yes you can import a greyscale image into simcity 4 using crtl+alt+shift+R if you create you region before hand an place a file called config.bmp which consists of the colours blue red and green to create a tile map for your region. the greyscale dimesions must be the size 64*K+1 where K is the diemnsions of your regin in km the config.bmp has the dimensions K kilometers.

For more detais refer to the mapping commity of which i am part and the omnibus.

You can also load maps mods textures props from the STEX as well as buildings.

1) Most of those buildings can be downloaded from the STEX (Simtropolis Exchange) which can be found here:

The second picture is from Sculpting Columbia River by jeronij so if you want to know what buildings they are you could send a message to jeronij asking him.

To get a photo of the whole entire region use a program called Region Census. It will save .jpg pic with or without city and mayor names.
