A view on the river looking up at the Gates of Argonath as three boats approach the entrance

One year ago today I posted this miniature, practically shot Lord of the Rings, Gates of Argonath photo I created using foil for water, tree bark for mountains, two Argonath bookends and some tiny model boats and people.

Good-as-new version of a dwarven magazine cover. Runes yet to be transliterated.

Here’s the digital restoration, thanks to Prof. Bianchi and his lab at Illawarra University (currently the best third age archaeology department in Australasia).

Every now and again I feel obliged to repost David E. Alter Jr's brilliant 1982 pic Bilbo's Great Adventure.

An ancient magazine with a super cool dwarvish band on the cover. They look a bit like the Velvet Underground and Nico.

Discovered this Dwarvish relic in Gould's Books, Newtown, Sydney. Now working on digital restoration.
