I see Middle-earth

I agree with Legate about the last three.

Great photography, Laurinquë!

Thank you! The 'Barrow-downs' pictures were taken at a place called Finger Mountain about 140 miles north of Fairbanks. And I am quite open to interpretations of the whereabouts of these pictures, do feel free to improve on my assumptions.

Thank you very much! And yes, you really should stop in for a visit there! There's no other place like it in the world.

Ha, in other words: you are a bad photographer, Lauri, why did you not take a picture of the Black Gate, when it's obvious that it is just right there outside the frame)

Oh believe me, I would have but alas my camera ran out of battery right then. But perhaps this may interest you:



Ignore those annoying trees, they were just some Ents that were insisting on following me about and getting in the way of my picture.
