Seeing Tolkiens World in todays landscapes...

[Numenorean]

Just back from a weekend in the North Yorks Moors,even warm enough to camp out on Saturday night, so thanks for the feedback! Mooncalf:

You go out and feel the wind on your face and suddenly you want to wander off into he woods...

Hey Moon, you know it! Yeah, the leaves, trees and all of it is totally magical at this time of year, I get going in the Wild and dont want to come back...
Hi Benbo, sounds like you live in a fine old place there too, I used to spend a lot of time in Somerset as my Cousins live in/near Yeovil, and ever since I can remember Ham Hill just leaves this Shire-like wonder in my mind.
Hi again Anne, I havn't been to or seen Porlock Hill, but am continually amazed by how many stone circles there actually are in the British Isles, they seem to be everywhere. Just seeing them kindof leaves me in awe and makes me think just how small and brief our lives are, maybe even Tolkien felt something from the Barrows, Stones and Landscape that stirred his soul?
