"He wants the Precious. Always he is looking for it. And the Precious is wanting to go back to him... But we mustn't let him have it."

All shot using real figures, lighting, two pieces of bark for the rocks and cotton wool for the sky.

It has often been said that J.R.R. Tolkien wanted to make a "mythology for England," but echoes of Middle-earth can be found right here among the monuments, mounds, and muddy rivers of the American Midwest.

Excited to share video from my presentation ("Reflections on Middle-earth from a Middle American") at last year's inaugural Westmoot conference from the Tolkien Society!

๐Ÿฅด Ah, the brave cartographer who dares to "realistically" map Tolkien's fictional world! Because what Middle-earth really needs is a bureaucratic navigation system to turn epic quests into glorified Google Maps tours. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Just wait until they start adding street view and traffic updates for hobbits. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ

With #FieldsMountainsValleys as today's #TuneTuesday theme my mind goes immediately to #Tolkien's #MiddleEarth and all of their songs. Out of all of his songs going for the Misty Mountain Cold

Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To seek our pale enchanted gold

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells
