:iconladyelleth:
Certainly the distances had now all become hazy and deceptive [...]. But even as he spoke he turned his gaze eastwards, and and he saw that on that side the hills were higher and looked down upon them; and all those hills were crowned with green mounds, and on some were standing stones, pointing upwards like jagged teeth out of green gums.

(J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring, Fog on the Barrow-downs)

My entry for :iconvvirtual: =vvirtual's Fantasy Landscapes contest. Wish me luck? :) As to how this is a fantasy landscape, the title should relate it clearly enough, even if the landscape itself is comprised of different parts of Dartmoor which in itself is a very real landscape. But then Tolkien's books are rather explicitly depicting a version of England (and Eriador more so than other landscapes) so that seems like a very justified choice.

Beautiful elleth and thanks for using my stock! While i know there was no time for it, and it would probably have meant using Tom Benzedril as well, i always feel the barrow downs being missed out of the film was a great shame.

Very atmospheric. Evokes how I have so often pictured the Barrow Downs. The elements of Dartmoor are a perfect choice for the composition!
