Yes, that is the picture I referred to. The instant I saw it I thought that the image of Eowyn's beauty in that bleak and foreboding scene really caught the theme of danger in TTT.

The gate scene is my favorite of those posted so far.

It certainly shows that we aren't anywhere near the Shire anymore, that's for sure.

I was looking for pictures of "friendly" places which is in short supply in TTT. Fanghorn would have been nice except that it's supposed to be forbidding. Helms Deep....I don't consider battles to be very homey or friendly so that pretty much narrowed it down to Edoras. Wait a minute....I should look for Ithilien pictures!

Henneth Annun. But it's on the smallish side.

Perhaps that nice forest near Minas Tirath where Aragorn picked up his army of the unforgiven dead. That would be cheery, wouldn't it? And all those scenes on the outskirts of Mordor, they would make nice tourist posters.

I like that too. Maybe we should have one for Book 3 and one for Book 4, since they are divergent storylines?

Sure, use the "forgot to close tags" excuse to inch towards the precious...

Well that is true, but what is homey about book 4?

Hmm... I rather like the Eowyn shot... seems like I have seen a version of it where it is wide and not as square... The letterbox-shaped screenshot perhaps, that looks more like a page header than a square? Penny or ecurbh could crop it so it looks like a banner and post it at one of their sites?

Well, We can keep considering... we have a week to decide!

Penny - I liked the 2nd and 3rd place winners better than the one that won the contest, how 'bout you?

Well the nicest place in TTT is being back in Bag End, writing it down. Rohan could be nice, but not in a war, and Minas Tirath would be like visiting Byzantium, but I wouldn't have wanted to do that in 1453.

On my way in a moment myself. Looks as if I'll be driving home in a thunderstorm...we can use the rain.
