Mt Potts reflecti0n - near Mt Sunday - Exploring Rohan

This series of photos were all taken on, around or of Mt Sunday and the tussock fields and wetlands and mountains surrounding it. Of course this is in the upper Rangitata River catchment near Mt Potts river and station and the higher peaks of Potts and the Jollie, Two Thiumbs, Cloudy peak and Sinclair ranges, the area immediately around Mt Sunday and Mt Potts to the north being in Hakatere Conservation Park. But to so many in the world this is Rohan, home of the horse lords.

The rocky outcrop of Mt Sunday itself was the site of the Edoras Village and Hall from the Lord of the Rings movies and the distant shots of Helm's deep were of the steep faced mountain and gorge beyond. Here Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn came in their pursuit of the capturted hobbits and ventured out from here to the Battle of Helm's Deep.
