Actually booted this game again only to try out the new 'Nemesis Forge' feature (this lets you import your nemesis to Shadow of War) but one or two shots won't hurt I guess :^)

I received this gift from a coworker today for Christmas- what can I say but they know me so very well. This will go well with my Lord of the Rings sword collection!
Theme: Tis The Season
Year Thirteen Of My 365 Project
After escaping the ravening clutches of the undead, our adventurous duo find themselves lost in a featureless desert. A furnace by day and frozen by night. They have to find a way out soon… :)
Sunnudagsganga frá Dyradal og upp á Hengil, syni mínum þótti landslagið minna á Mordor.
On the hike to Mt.Hengill my son commented that the volcanic area we were walking through looked like Mordor, I´ll have to agree with him. This view is from the mountainside across Hellisheiði and towards Mt.Vífilsfell.
Mt.Hengill in southwest Iceland is considered an active volcano (last eruption appr. 2000 years ago) with some high temperature geothermal areas.

i used some crazy digital tips to do the capes and the colors, also Gandalf has the hat on his hair, so it is not purist, it is completaly custom.
"Fangorn forest was a deep, dark woodland that grew beneath the southern Misty Mountains, under the eastern flanks of that range. It gained notoriety as the habitat of the Ents in the Third Age. The forest, known as Entwood in Rohan, was named after the oldest Ent, Fangorn."

For too many years they have ignored the world outside their heavenly realm.
For too much time they have ignored the events of mortal men.
For too long they have neglected the ancient oath to guard the World.
Now the Darkness has fallen and Chaos is rampaging across the World, threatening the very existence of every civilization.
This is not a time for debate. This is not a time to forget there is a real world outside the masterfully crafted walls of the Elven cities.
This is a time for action, a time for war.
He wont’t stand still as the forces of evil destroy millennia of civilization. He will fight. Relentless; steadfast. He will bring the Light to the darkest regions.
He is the Lord of the Ancient Flame and, as the mythical Phoenix he rides in battle, he will burn Darkness away with the fire of justice.
I always wanted to make photo featuring an Elf Warrior on a Phoenix and it’s the reason I bought that Phoenix Chima set some time ago (I don’t remember the name right now lol. I guess it was Ultimate Phoenix something).
It is my way to remember the old times when I played Warhammer and beside Elves and Phoenixes are somewhat a classic trope of certain Fantasy works :)
Since the only Elves I have are the Minifigures from Middle Earth sets I used Elrond to represent the “Phoenix Lord”.
Even though I used Elrond Minifigure in a completely different setting, I also want to show my support to Middle Earth :)
I hope you like this photo :)

This cozy inn on the outskirts of Lond Daer is known by it's specially brewed blue wines. The Numenorian soldiers especially enjoy this wine after a hard day's work partroling the borders of this middle Earth city. Now war is imminent they'll never know if this is their last..
___________________________________
So when I started building Lond Daer early 2019 for the @secondagecollab I wanted to do my first interior ever. I haven't done any interiors before, so it was about time 😅
The interior was completed simultaneously with the rest of the build but wasn't clearly visible. So before Lond Daer was completely torn apart I had to redesign a section of the house to make the interior visible and take some beauty shots.
I hope you'll like what you see and I'll get back to work on my Venice Italy moc 😊

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
~33MP | jim2point0's cheat table (freecam, FOV, freeze time) | Lanczos3
Rocking Chair by Jack Rogers Hopkins
circa 1970’s, USA. Walnut
Branded JACK/ROGERS/HOPKINS
"Domestically proportioned pieces by Jack Rogers Hopkins are exceedingly scarce and highly sought after. Hopkins is an important and influential sculptor/furniture designer who helped defined the California design scene in the 70’s. He mastered laminated wood and applied it to never seen before forms. Although Hopkins created other chairs, this is an exceptional and unique piece. The Rocking Chair simultaneously pays homage to one of the most cherished American pieces of furniture while realizing the form in a creative and dynamic manner. Despite the form’s ingenuity and presence, it is surprisingly comfortable."

The second build in my series of Hobbit vignettes that I never ended up finishing.
I've always found brick-built figures to be particularily hard to make, which made this scene a real challenge. I'm really happy with how the troll turned out though.
I'm pretty happy with the rest of the scene as well. I think the colors really suit the tone of the scene, although it did take up just about all of my olive green and dark green plates and foliage.
Amidst the towering crags of New Zealand's Southern Alps, there lay a lake of still and startling clarity, its surface like an untold secret held aloft in the arms of the mountains. The waters, deep and gem-bright, seemed to shift with every breath of the wind, a mingling of unearthly blue and green as if Ulmo himself had paused to bestow a fragment of the Great Sea upon this hidden vale. The air was sharp and pure, carrying with it the faint scent of stone and moss, and the murmur of distant streams, like a voice half-forgotten, spoke of ages older than memory.
The peaks rose around the lake in stern, unbroken lines, their flanks streaked with the last remnants of winter's snow, gleaming under the pale light. They were dark and unyielding, as though they had been carved in some distant age by hands that knew no weariness, each ridge and precipice imbued with an ancient dignity that words could scarcely capture. Shadows pooled in their crevices, deep and blue as twilight, while their heights, crowned in white, pierced the heavens with an austere and remote grace.
Close to the water’s edge, the land softened, though only slightly, into rolling turf strewn with outcroppings of grey stone. Here, the earth was brightened by a constellation of pale flowers, their slender stalks bent in homage to the mountain wind. Their petals, white as starlight, opened boldly under the sky, while their golden centers gleamed faintly, like the ember of a distant beacon. Among the grass and rocks, thin rivulets threaded their way, the water tracing paths as if guided by unseen hands, their trickling song filling the stillness with a music both delicate and strange.
The lake itself lay tranquil, save for the faintest rippling at its edges, where stones and reeds rested like weary travelers. At its heart, a solitary island rose, austere and quiet, its surface cloaked in moss and lichen. It seemed to float upon the waters like some remnant of forgotten lore, a place untouched by the long march of years. One might imagine it as a refuge, a place where time paused and the cares of the waking world faded like the memory of a dream.
The sky above arched vast and untethered, its cerulean depths brushed with thin, trailing clouds that seemed to drift without haste, as though content to linger in such a place. Here, beneath that unbounded vault, the world felt older, deeper—a land not marked by the footsteps of mortals but shaped by a power far older, far slower, and far more enduring.
If one listened closely, they might think the echoes of another age stirred faintly here. The music of Ainur might once have woven through such waters, or the distant tread of some forgotten wanderer might have passed this way. Yet the place bore no sign of dominion, no touch of claim or mastery; it belonged to itself, untamed and unmarred, as though drawn directly from the Song before the world’s breaking.

Location: Lake Wilson in Otago, NZ
«Lontano, ad almeno quaranta miglia di distanza, videro il Monte Fato, la base immersa nella cenere e l'alto cono imponente avvolto dalle nubi. I suoi incendi si erano calmati, ed esso ne covava le ceneri ardenti, minaccioso e pericoloso come una belva addormentata.»
J.R.R. Tolkien, Il ritorno del re
Chiaramente questi non sono il Monte Fato e la Contea, ma le nubi temporalesche che si riunivano coprendo la vetta del monte Cimone mi ricordavano Mordor...e, ai suoi piedi, i bei boschi di Barigazzo non potevano essere altro che la Contea degli hobbit, giusto per restare in tema de Il Signore degli Anelli!
Storm over the "fiery mountain" Mount Cimone.
This stormy landscape reminded me of Mordor, so if Mount Cimone is Mount Doom, the beautiful woods of Barigazzo are obviously the Shire!
Barigazzo (Modena), Emilia Romagna, Italy.

Homer Tunnel.
www.teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/20115/building-the-homer-...
When I was a lot younger I worked in this area and one of the things we used to do was knock the 1-1.5m icicles off the tunnel roof before traffic entered each day. The east portal end is at 945 m elevation; the tunnel runs 1270 m at approximately a 1:10 gradient down to the western portal.
Until it was sealed and enlarged it was the longest gravel-surfaced tunnel in the world.
The cabling along the right side was installed 10-12 years ago by the company I worked for at the time and provides power to the LED lights along the wall and at intervals along the roof as well as traffic lights at each end of the tunnel.

Can't get the depth buffer to work in ReShade 1.2. Too lazy to update. I'll just use the game's DOF then. Anyone get AO to work in later ReShades? That could get me to switch.
Also, dat power claw. :/

The Royal Palace in Luang Prabang, Laos was built in 1904 during the French colonial era for King Sisavang Vong and his family. The site for the palace was chosen so that official visitors to Luang Prabang could disembark from their Mekong river voyages directly below the palace and be received there. After the death of King Sisavang Vong, the crown Prince Savang Vatthana and his family were the last to occupy the grounds. In 1975, the monarchy was overthrown by the communists and the Royal Family were taken to re-education camps. The palace was then converted into a national museum.
Photo taken in back courtyard (right side) of the former Royal Palace of Luang Prabang -Laos.
In the back courtyard of the Royal Palace there is a huge Banyan tree who grows and drapes over the walls of the Palace.The banyan tree is named after 'banyans' or 'banians', the Hindu traders seen resting or carrying out their business under the tree. In fact banyans have become important meeting places for many people who gather in its shade to relax or chat. Banyan trees can get more than 300 years old.
Two adventurers happen upon an old fort where abandoned dragon eggs suddenly hatch. It's a rare and peaceful moment to be present at the beginning of a new life.
The whole scene was created in Studio and then rendered out in layered pieces to fall in line with my usual composting technique. It was then post-processed in my usual way.
