The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Probably shook your head in disbelief a few times, too, eh? ;)

In fact, I think I may have actually said, "I don't believe it!" :)

Maybe this is the one that I remember... Ruins

Rolozo Tolkien - Artist Herring, Michael

Except the one I remember was blue/grey, and a watercolor
(that is why I thought it was a Lee)

I searched for a "hidden" Beren in the painting, but couldn't find one. So, perhaps you are right!

I haven't read it either. I just remembered Aragorn's tale to the hoobits.

That's a good one, but not the one I remember either.

I've been Googling for it since I brought it up, but haven't been able to find it yet!

Perhaps... I seem to remember it was blue/grey. Perhaps with Merry and Pippin to one side while Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli (maybe also Gandalf, Theoden, and the rest) approach from the other side of the picture?

My memory of this picture is foggy to say the least!
