Gateway To Hobbiton (Or Something Like That)

Posted by P J W Miller (Chase Terrace, United Kingdom) on 22 April 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This has nothing to do with Tolkien but the next few posts have. I am just using this as a leader. This is actually the gate from the building I posted recently with the bridge and moonlit effect.

I can't promise to show you any Hobbits, basically they are images of things that are supposed to of inspired Tolkien in his Hobbit, Lord Of The Rings and The two towers Books

BY THE WAY THE GIN IN YESTERDAYS POST WAS BEHIND THE POST IN THE CENTRE OF THE IMAGE

Me and my camera(s) will travel both locally and as far as is physically allowable within the constraints of this our local celestial body and provide images from a purely subjective point of view for your evaluation and commentation .

Locally based near Lichfield

This is really great! I like the warm tones the HDR process is bringing to the gate. Gives it a dream like quality -- very appropriate for Tolkein.
