Yes indeed the Fall of Gondolin is an amazing tale. But, somehow, in my hasty reading I gathered that aside from the actual 'city' of the kingdom of Gondolin, the grassy plain that it sat in the center of I had believed to be a lake! Sheesh. Only after seeing some artwork and re-reading did I realise this. Makes me wonder what else I overlooked. I read of the fall both in the Silmarillion and it's extension in the Unfinished Tales.
