I know it doesn't look like that...

[The Only Real Estel]

I used to imagine the bridge of Khazad-dûm as being outdoors instead of inside Moria, in a grassy little park, and the abyss was lined with stones like a well. Then I read the book again and found out I was wrong

That reminds me of another one of my wierd visuals:

The Bridge of Khazad-dum was outdoors, with trees on the other side, if they could just make it across the bridge-which was one of those rope-bridges, if you know what I mean. You know, the ones with lots of smallish wooden, log-like things, and all of those are tied together? Ugh, somebody help me out here...
