To Isengard DSC_5453
"Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone, We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door!" J.R.R. Tolken. Lord Of the Rings.
This was taken in a place called Paradise (and it is), north of Glenorchy, a small town about half an hour out of Queenstown. Several scenes from Lord Of The Rings were filmed in the area. As soon as I saw the peak of the dome shaped mountain bearing down as we drove closer, I knew what I wanted to do with the image. It had to have a door.
Now it does ;-) The door is actually one from an old Monastery near Melbourne so I thought it was the perfect match.
As always, I worry when I put up my photoshop creations, knowing I am not particularly masterful but in this case I feel I achieved the vision I had while traveling along that lonely road, imagining Gandalf, Legolas and the crew disappearing into the Mountain.
