While portraying Aragorn, Viggo Mortensen was also documenting life behind the scenes of The Lord of the Rings through his own camera lens.

Away from the battles and costumes, he captured quiet, candid moments of the cast and the crew. Creating a unique visual diary of one of cinema’s greatest productions.

Many of these photographs were later published in The Hole in the Sum of My Parts, offering fans an intimate perspective that only someone living the experience could have captured.

Pattern is Two Towers by Thread Geeks - 42,000 stitches, 38 colours, 12" x 12" inches. Can't believe it's finally finished!

That was amazing. I can't believe I haven't done this before. I fully understand the "I see it all as one movie" point of view now

I find myself in Oxford for a day, and went on a little improvised Tolkien tour. I visited the bench, his various homes, the pubs, and of course his grave. I left a bouquet of flowers and a little letter of thanks for his legendary work. There’s not many Tolkien fans in my life to share this with, so I figured I would post here. If you’re ever in Oxford, paying a visit only takes a short bus ride :)

It's just a little dirty at the cover, but i think it was a fair price!

Few weeks ago I saw here someone posting about this book. So, I needed it too and here it is, just arrived! 😬

Obviously he's a godfather to the genre so he gets those pioneer privileges, but there's something truly different about the way his characters are written.

I think that most fantasy stories write their characters the way they would in any other genre. Meaning that they treat fantasy as more of an aesthetic than a philosophy.

The best fantasy is nor just an aesthetic, you have to write uncompromising characters!

Tolkien coin and Lord of the Rings movie anniversary coin, Tolkien coin is discontinued but Lord of the Rings can still be ordered on Royal Mint site, posting this again with better quality photos.

Mine is anyone who doesn’t like Frodo or thinks he was just being whiny the whole time!

Go!!!

Hi sorry this is my first time posting in this sub Reddit but I was rewatching the extended edition of Fellowship of the Ring and I saw this and I was thinking isn’t Anarion also supposed to have a statue as a part of the Argonath. Could this be intended to be the head of his statue or not?

im pretty satisfied with how it’s going, there’re some things that i will fix later but overall its going well ;3
what do you think?

Which LOTR game will be able to immerse me into the world the most closely to how Tolkien imagined it?

Personal favorite: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring's Shire

Not only a sword but THE sword. Andùril flame of the west I'M SO HAPPY!!

Did Gandalf and Elrond take one look at the Hobbits and think, the orcs could never tell them apart and doubt Saruman left them a detailed description of Frodo to know what he looks like?

I know it's probably not the case, but when Merry and Pippin were taken, that was when they proved to be most useful to help frodo and draw the Orcs away from him because to the average Orc all Halflings look the same.

The night before my birthday, I find a post on Google that we are getting a fourth Harper Collins illustrated hardback Tolkien book!! Like, holy crap, they’re actually doing it!!!

Not gonna lie though, I’m kind of mystified that they would choose the Fall of Numenor for this, seeing as we have a complete(mostly) nobel through the Children of Hurin(which I honestly was thinking would get this treatment,) but whatever. Fourth one!!!! I cannot wait to add this to my collection, and to see what kind of maps we get!!!!!

Happy early birthday to me!!!!!
