I must say that I, too, expected more from the Grey Havens. They kind of worked, and were really beautiful, but I think I imagined them broader and sunnier, more like a vast seaport city. They just seemed so small compared to what I was expecting.

But then, so was all of Mordor. I realize why Peter Jackson filmed it the way he did, the focus needing to shift from the Black Tower to Mount Doom to the Black Gate etc., but it still seemed at times that you could fit the whole country into my backyard.
