It may not be the original setting from Lord of the Rings, but the atmosphere reminded me of it.
Bastei Bridge, Saxony. Germany.
Looking like a scene from a Tolkien movie, this trail leads one along and through Smuggler Cove Park. Green foliage and red bark Arbutus trees line the path that sidles up to a moss covered rocky hillside. One almost expects to see Frodo Baggins appear in the distance, or perhaps this is the place of Elves.
It is the non tourist season and opportunities to capture the landscape without people exist. At times, this can be a magical and peaceful place, if one takes the time to appreciate its poetic beauty.
“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
This image of the local woodlands on a misty morning with the sunlight breaking through, reminds me of descriptions of woodlands in Tolkien’s books, it had that romantic atmosphere on this particular day.
‘Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold’
JRR Tolkien - The Hobbit
In Denmark there are several places that inspired the writer of Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien) to use these names in his books. They are situated in Denmark, and Helms Deep (Hjelm Dyb), Esgaroth (Eskerod), and Aros (Aarhus) can be traced back to Djursland,
The picture shown here was taken close to Isgård, and in Tolkiens Lord of the rings it was called Isengard, the tower where Saruman, the sorcerer had his living until the Ents destroyed this place.
Isgård is a Danish manor house and farm close to the sea on the hilly southern part of the peninsula Djursland in the Kattegat Sea between Denmark and Sweden at the entrance to the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe
an Elven and Tolkien-inspired destination , still a little time to enjoy it's peaceful beauty before it closes .
...is what my son said. He's probably right. Obviously, then, the fence is exquisitely fashioned from mithril and of Dwarvish make. Or even Elvish.
Close to the Anglesey Barracks, in Coed Dinorwig.

Ripping off Tolkien again...
There is a lot wrong with this, It's hand held since I'd just broken my tripod, I may have asked too much of the wide lens, but I loved this scene and this shot. It's a mess for composition and light, but the mood is EXACTLY what it was like for me Magic. If you want to get a better look at that amazing bridge in the middle of nowhere, check out Flechtight's stream.

One ring to rule them all.
One ring to find them.
One ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.

I was quite taken by the layout of the books, and was able to make a triptych out of the different shelves, applying different filters to each.
Taken in Telacia where I am clearly having a Tolkien moment.

Goélette à hunier néerlandaise construite en 1964, le JR Tolkien s'appelait à l’origine Dierkow. Il était utilisé pour transporter les marchandises dans la mer du nord et dans la mer baltique. En 1996, le bateau est acheté par un Hollandais qui le transforma en navire de croisière. Cette luxueuse goélette peut aujourd’hui transporter 90 passagers pour une journée en mer et 32 stagiaires pour des croisières : www.armada.org/navires/jr-tolkien
"The road goes ever on and on..."
This path made me think of hobbits, who might have wandered through the rainforest.
This is the Horseshoe Bend trail in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. It follows alongside the Nooksack River. Midway along the path, the Nooksack hits Horseshoe Bend, which can be seen in another photo.

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Fellowship of the Ring, the boys and I decided to whip up some vignettes depicting scenes from the greatest film trilogy ever.
Like most of my projects I got over ambitious and had to rush at the end, but overall it felt good to build LOTR again.
Stormy day view down the Grand Teton Mountains across (a rather dry) Jackson Lake. Reminded me of Tolkien's fictional Misty Mountains. Tolkienesque scene.
Eärendil was a mariner
that tarried in Arvernien;
he built a boat of timber felled
in Nimbrethil to journey in;
her sails he wove of silver fair,
of silver were her lanterns made,
her prow was fashioned like a swan,
and light upon her banners laid.
For this year's Summer Joust I decided to venture into the First Age of Tolkien lore as I reread The Silmarillion earlier this year (although the above excerpt is from Bilbo's song as printed in LotR). So for the Sailors and Boatmen category I built Eärendil in his ship Vingilot sailing west to ask the Valar for help in freeing Middle-earth from Morgoth's tyranny. On his forehead he bears the Silmaril that Beren and Luthien once stole from Morgoth's crown and that his wife Elwing brought to him as a bird.
Unfortunately the shimmering Silmaril is only a post-process effect, but I fittingly used the head of Eärendil's son's minifigure from LEGO's recent Rivendell set. The ship itself is mostly inspired by Ted Nasmith's illustrations (but doesn't attempt to capture any of them accurately), as it made for a smaller and more streamlined ship, concentrating on the essence of its design. Although the category allows for custom sails and rigging, the build only uses genuine LEGO elements. The silver sail is held together by nets.
I also made a supplementary post with a few more shots of the ship and building instructions for it can be found on Rebrickable.
The Karst landscape that was beloved by RJ Tolkien and was often thought to been an influence in his writings.

I was building some fractals today when these portal shapes emerged. I though of one of my favorite artists, Roger Dean, who made the Yes album covers. I have a bunch of quicktime VR panoramas I did in the Lake District and mixed these pieces together for a 70s reminder of my progressive rock days.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
J.R.R. Tolkien
I took this picture in Vercors (Alp foot hills), as the sky was clearing out after a rain storm. There was a footpath which went up a little hill, and I liked the story that it was telling, by vanishing on the other side of the hill. I waited for the lights and the clouds to be favorable (I wanted the light to be at the center of the image).
I post-processed the image using the darktable software. I was aiming for a super-natural feeling, something from a Tolkien novel :). I used contrast-enhancing filters close to the path and the horizon. I made the sides of the image a bit darker, and I tuned a bit the colors (making the shadows in the bottom greener and the highlights a bit more yellow).
Year 1697-1700 of the Second Age - The Siege of Imladris
Following the devastating assault on Eregion, caused by Sauron and his minions, Elrond fled to Imladris, or Rivendell, a valley north of the Misty Mountains. Knowing that Elrond would try to ambush him from behind, Sauron sent a small force of orcs to Rivendell to end lay waste to the refuge. Elrond, along with the remaining forces of Eregion and the Elves of Lindon. The elves eventually destroyed their enemies, and managed to crush Sauron's forces along with a great host of Numenoreans, ending the War of the Elves and Sauron at the Battle of the Gwathló. When the war ended, Eregion was gone, and most of Eriador destroyed.

"In a great hall with pillars hewn out of the living stone sat the Elvenking on a chair of
carven wood. On his head was a crown of berries and red leaves, for the autumn was
come again. In the spring he wore a crown of woodland flowers. In his hand he held a
carven staff of oak."
This is my moc for the final duel of MELO against Jodsu. For this round I chose making the throne of Thranduil because I love the big elk antlers we can see in the movie. I hope you will like it ;)

Todays shot is from the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. This park is so close to Las Vegas, only an hour away, that I thought there will be a huge number of people visiting. But we found a very few people in the park, in fact, most of the parking lots were empty. I am not sure if its the norm or just the case during winter. To me, winter is the best time to visit this park due to the exposure and possibility of flash floods in many of the hiking trails.
This amazing geological formation is at fire wave trail. It’s a highlight of the valley of Fire state park due to its resemblance to the stunning wave rock formation in Arizona. The trail basically reaches an area where suddenly fine dust gives way to beautiful slick rock with amazing patterns in colors of red, pink, white, and every other pastel shade imaginable. One of my favorite time to take photos is just before sunrise as the light is very even and the sky is usually not very overpowering. This shot was framed placing my tripod almost flat on the ground and pointing straight at the main wave formations. I don’t think I used any kind of filters for this image.
"Lo! Young we are and yet have stood like planted hearts in the great Sun of Love so long (as two fair trees in woodland or in open dale stand utterly entwined and breathe the airs and suck the very light together) that we have become as one, deep rooted in the soil of Life and tangled in the sweet growth." - J.R.R Tolkein
Thanks for posing with me, Plantie!
