Recently I discovered that the Rohirric tongue reminds me of Ukrainian. Probably because of the abundance of e and y sounds. But maybe that's just because that is how I see Ukranian as compared to Russian...

Maybe also Ukraine reminds you of Rohan, because of those wide plains... being roamed by the Cossacks on horseback.

Yes, that too.

Sadly, I've nothing to contribute myself, as I don't get out much (and when I do, it's to urban areas - and not even especially Mordor-esque ones!) but Eonwe's picture of the Helcaraxe is marvelous.

That's lovely! Was Bilbo's Party Tree inside the tent? I can't remember ....

It was. Bilbo gives his speech under it. This tree was hung withfairy lights not lanterns and the guests wrote messages on little card butterflies and tied them to the tree.

There is this place down by the water front near my house, and its all quiet and nobody ever goes down there exept me, but it reminds me of the place where Frodo and Sam leave the rest of the Fellowship (cant remember what its called-mental blank). Its so peaceful yet kind of menacing, and i always used to go there to write my story. You have to slide down a steep slope to get to it though, so the council decided to block it off. I WAS NOT HAPPY!

However i guess it will still live in memory in this thread.
