I thought it was a very beautiful and well done set, but I sure wouldn't want to live there! It was pretty, but sterile, cramped and uncomfortable looking. I felt a bit sorry for Aragorn and Arwen for having to live there for the rest of their lives. And, as my husband said: "the view sucks!"<P>The landscaping elves will have their work cut out for them. <P>As for the white tree, it did a good job as king's confetti maker a la Excalibur. I'm glad they didn't take the time in the movie for Aragorn to find another. I think we have enough precedent for the king = land idea in movies for people to understand why the tree came into bloom once Aragorn came along.<P>*Loved* the severed heads!<P>Can't understand how they loaded such LARGE chunks of masonry into the trebuchets.<P>-Lily
