And Mount Pisgah just outside of Eugene Oregon . . .

Mount Pisgah just outside of Eugene Oregon

Oregon is the land??

i suppose i should have guessed from all the marijuana production

Elena was certainly High Lord, but surely not Mhoram!!!


Anywho, excellent pic, stu. Thanks.

Than by that logic alone, part of it should at least be California . . .

Nice pictures

But Oregon? Pah! Nay, Snowdonia:

the 3rd pic looks alot like how i imagined the land

beautiful . . . beautiful . . .,

lacking in trees though . . . , but than again . . . , that is a theme of deforestation that Stephen R. Donaldson touches on. .

For some reason i always imagined it being sunny in LFB.

None of those pics even come close for me.

My images of the Land would have to be photographed with special filters to increase the green.

They do this in movies but I'm drawing a blank trying to name a few right now.

Agreed, thats how i imagined it look so healthy.

That third picture is very much like how I imagine the western part of Kurash Plenethor. The part that Covenant and Elena travel across before reaching the Westron Mountains (with the picture taken from the eastern boundary of said mountains).


Good old welsh landscape... can't say I much enjoyed hiking across it, though. And I was only in the south.

Try the eastern slopes of Montana on Memorial Day weekend. Pretty sere and brown and South-Plains-y most of the year, but in May and June it looks like Ireland at 10 times actual size.

Yeah, that third pic is awesome Cj.

If you are looking for beautiful 'Land-ish' scenery, try the Lake District in Northern England/Scottish Borders, really beathtaking. Went walking up one of the mountains there and there are hills and lakes as far as the eye can see. Beautiful even on a cold October day (not fun to climb a 3000ft mountain in the pouring rain though).

heaven forbid the movie should be filmed in New Zealand like lotr...

But from what I remember of the LOTR films... it's not really all that Land-ish. Is it? I seem to remember it being way too hilly and mountainous for places like the Centre Plains, Andelain etc.

yup, that's what i thought too. My guess is that there will be many different locations all over the world...and that would probably be the hardest part apart from filming the whole series.
