#Caradhras

Legolas going after the sun on the side of Caradhras (At the moment I thought drawing normal clouds was boring, so I wanted to try something else. ...now I think these clouds are too weird x_x) And the gate to Moria ♥

Back again with more LOTR re-read observations.

Between the storm on Caradhras and the trek through Moria, the Fellowship briefly spends a night camped on the slopes of Caradhras, where they're surrounded by Wargs closing in.

So imagine you're one of the Fellowship, drifting in and out of an uneasy sleep, and suddenly you hear Gandalf shout:

"Listen, Hound of Sauron! Gandalf is here. Fly, if you value your foul skin!"

If I wasn't jumpy before that, I would be then.

Also, the way Gandalf addresses the Warg gives it a feel similar to, "Listen, Carol...." ���� And I just think that's funny.

apropos of nothing the LOTR movies cut out what could have been excellent himbo content: on caradhras, boromir just beefily bodies his way through the snow to make a path for the others.

why did PJ deny us this?

The Journey Begins!

Wow. I see that I made this post a month ago, yet we are only leaving now. We will probably be starting out this afternoon. The trip should take about two days (rather than a month, as it would for the average hobbit on horseback.) We will need to go over Caradhras* using the Redhorn Pass** which is always a little worrisome to me because the weather can get pretty extreme there. If we leave today we shouldn't encounter any snowstorms on the pass though.

I'm going to be posting erratically for the next two weeks (I think?) I am leaving the land of Mordor for the Shire, and am trying very hard to avoid the Nazgul. Wish me luck.

(Here "Mordor" refers to California, and "The Shire" refers to the state of Washington. "The Nazgul" refer to the highway patrol.)

"Lost in Caradhras" - Hautes Alpes - by Stefan Hefele

France Even in summer the mountain range in the Misty Mountains seems bizarre & icy. Framed by black pinnacles that rise skyward, the glassy blue mirror lake is situated like a pearl. Since my last photo tour into the Alps I fell more & more in love with the world of fantasy stories. This is for sure also due to the bizarre landscapes. But when I think back, I always had an affinity for the fairytale. Well, as you see, dream & reality are closer together than often assumed. For me one reason to even delve deeper into this fascinating world.

Okay, just one more note on my current LOTR re-read (for now).

When the Fellowship is stuck on Caradhras, Gandalf abbacadabbras some of that mystical Rivendell liquid that gives everybody extra stamina or whatever. (Okay, so he actually got it out of his pack, whatever).

Anyway, Gandalf tells everyone to pass the flask around so they can all benefit from its strengthening properties. And I just want to imagine between the lines here and envision Gimli and Legolas having a spat about refusing to drink after an Elf/Dwarf (depending on whoever went first). And finally Aragorn or Boromir or Gandalf gets so fed up and exasperated at them that they have to intervene and keep them in line like stubborn bratty children.
