Hmmm... the thing I do that reminds me the most of Middle Earth is the long walks I take in the woods with my dog (coyote/border collie mix.) In the park we go to, there are many long, winding trails. The really interesting part is that periodically, we come across the "ruins" of old stone gateways at one bend in the trail or another. I always think of Tolkein when I come across those. Unfortunately, lately, the Park Service has been systematically ripping them all out.
Soon they will all be gone.
Besides the walks, I also make sterling silver jewelry based on chain mail.
As for pictures, I tend to shoot mostly landscapes and close-ups of flowers and tree roots & the like, but sometimes I will also do interesting windows or doorways. I seldom take pictures of people (unless I get hired to shoot a special event for someone.) When I have film to burn at the end of a roll, I also take a lot of pictures of my dog and cat.
