Such a beautiful and relaxing and safe place to be. I want to stay there for the next four years :)<br /><br />If I lived in Middle Earth though I think I'd want to live in the Shire. For once in my life I'd get to be a tall person (but I also like small town/rural life so Hobbiton and the Shire would suit me better than Rivendell) :)<br /><br />Very nice post. I love the pictures.

I love how the movie depicted Rivendell, but the variations in artwork are always so amazing to see. Would that it could be a real place! I love the Lord of the Rings. <3<br /><br />Great post, Greg!

Just the fact that Aragorn grew up there and both Bilbo and Frodo made stops there along their journeys makes it a must-see. I love Elrond too so I'd love to see his domain, you know?
