I think Imladris was the most beautiful place in all of Middle-earth. That sense of perpetual autumn captured me from the beginning. Of course, the fact that the majority of the Noldor in Middle-earth still dwelt there probably also helps, since the Noldor are my favorite race of Elves.<P>As for the ugliest place, I would have to say Mordor (surprise, surprise!). It isn't just because there aren't any green, growing things. It's something about Sauron's spirit still lingering there that makes me hate it completely.
