Where in Middle-Earth do YOU live? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hey, the only part that we went through (in Alberta) that didn't look remotely like anything Tolkien was Drumheller. Now, if you've never heard of Drumheller, it's pretty famous for its dinosaur museum, but seriously, the place is a hole. Literally! It's in a canyon! I've never heard of any Middle-Earth Canyons...save maybe north, but I'm not counting that.

Okay, I admit it, Drumheller doesn't look a thing like Tolkien... maybe Harad... snrk... However, come and check out the Vegreville area... or around Edmonton... or Edson... in those areas you will see Middle-earth. I'd tell you where I lived to prove that it looks like a Tolkienish area, but I'm not allowed to. So therefore I can just name places that I've been and let you guess.

They must film Lake Town near Lake Whitney... very cool place for that...

I will always defend Canada and the fact that it looks like Middle-earth, Alberta, anyhow.

Tru-dat, Skywalker. BC and Alberta alike. And maybe the Yukon if we're in good moods.

You realize that you are the first person to call me 'Skywalker'. Everyone seems to just call me Eowyn online, never Skywalker... hmmm... that's interesting. Not that I mind.

Okay, okay, I will include B.C.. And Sascatuwan... erk... I can't spell that. You aren't Jandalf, are you? Sorry, just wondering.

But yes, much of Canada has a Middle-earthy look. Do check us out! Maybe I should pull out one of our really Middle-earthy pics.

Mine would most likely be a microcosm of the shire. I would've said just Hobbiton, but running north and south on the border of my neighborhood is a forest - the old forest of course! I live in New York, and the land is full of hills and every house could be bag end because of the enormous trees overhanging!

Ive even mapped it out in my mind, and whenever i leave somewhere form my neighborhood i have different areas i associate with the path to rivendell. Its fun!!

Sascatuwan?! Heh. No, I'm not Jandalf, whoever that is. So sorry.

It just seemed to fit in with my "Tru dat" thing. I have no idea what the slang spelling is for that term.

Pictures, yes. That's a fabulous idea. Must go find some...

Ah yes, here we go. Caradhras(sp?) anyone?

I live in Anchorage, which all in all is very pretty. (if you overlook the six months long winter) Mountains all around, always with a bit of snow on the tips, pine and birch trees, blowing in the breeze... I like to think that I live in a rather cheerier Hollin, which is lovely because Hollin (or Eregion) is my favorite Elven place in the books.
