EDORAS, NOV. 2005

















Edoras, Capital of Rohan, is located in the middle of the southern alps, close to Mt hutt ski field...
This is definitely my favourite "lord of the rings" location, because even without considering the movie, the Rangitata valley is so vast and huge that I could get there once a week...one of my favourite spot in NZ so far...

This is "Sting", you've met it before through the movie...
It becomes pale blue when orcs are coming up! Bilbo then Frodo's sword.

I met a hobbit up there...no... hobbits don't exist I think...it's Andre, with Edoras in the distance.



Camping in the middle of nowhere, which is quite usual in NZ...
but that was truly great, with the full moon enlighting the entire spot with its pale white light...
delightful!

Watch up the film...it's just over there! Can you picture the village up to the hill (Mt Sunday)?

At dusk... sunset over the southern alps...
The Mordor and Mt Doom are not so far away after all!



Joel and I, fascinated by the stunning scenery...
A Rohirrim who lost his horse...



The exact spot of the palace, up to the Mt Sunday...

The dead marshes...



Acrossing the numerous streams barefeet...
if you wanna get up there, you must deserve it!
