Edoras!

Are there any Lord of the Rings fans out there?

Well Margie, Jay, El and myself are pretty nuts about the films - and as many of you may or may not know, the movies were filmed in New Zealand, in the gorgeous scenery that is just a natural occurrence here.

On March 15, the 4 of us jumped into a 4x4 and headed in search of Edoras, where the village of Rohan was placed for the film. Here is a picture from the film:



And, here is a picture of what we found!!!


We learned that for the movie the set was NOT superimposed on this hill, it was actually built on to it, and in the process the production company put GPS trackers on all of the plant life, moved it away, and were required to return it exactly as it was before the movie!

Geeks, yes, but we love it.
