Gorwingel has just left Hobbiton.

I agree with everyone else about Lothlorien. One of the most my most favorite lines from that section of "Fellowship" is when they talk about how in the autumn the leaves turn to the greatest gold, and then they stay on the trees. When I just recently went back and watched FOTR, one of the things in "their" Lorien that really bothered me was how many dead leaves they had on the ground. But maybe that was just the filmmakers way of showing that the elves time in Middle Earth was coming to an end.<P>Additionally when I first read FOTR, I had this strange imagination, and I thought that the hobbits were extremely ugly. Kind of like little scandinavian trolls, all wrinkled, with big noses, and all that stuff. So I could never relate to them when I read the book. I was so happy when I saw the film and they were nice looking, and that they looked like humans.<P>Everything else was pretty close to what I thought things would look like though.
