I usually use picture art myself. 

Ones like the one below to depict a place or give an idea of its ambiance as well as a small description that others are encouraged to build on. I find a mix of visual aids and writing helps with visualization a scene rather well. I have additional other images like the one in the hider which I can scrap up and make a brief overview. If I can't find an image, I usually just use a small description paragraph for others.

I usually prefer written descriptions as I feel like I should know how to write those up. Plus it's good practice material. I mean sure pictures can be nice but I just don't use them.
