Landscape, I think, was important to Tolkien. He wrote the tales and history of Middle-earth because he wanted to create a new mythology for England, which is one reason ME looks similiar to Europe.

The description of Lothlorien and Rivendell showed the beauty and etherealness of the elves, which is why I like them the best. Especially Lorien and the way he described the trees and flowers.
