Lord of the Ring landscapes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Although the movies have overidden many images those of the Bree area and Ithilien are still very much my own as well as parts of the Shire.

This actually feels great because it makes the book even more special to me.

I like Tolkein's descriptions of the landscapes because it is always at the right time. Sometimes with other books the author decides ot describe something but it just doesn't fit. I never have that feeling with Tolkein.

Tolkein's descriptions always make me want to see ME and be there so that I can see it for myself.
