I recently spent a couple weeks traveling the North and South islands of New Zealand and I managed to hit almost every filming site from Lord of the Rings!

Here are some shots that I was able to re-create or that lined up with scenes from the movies very nicely.

Sometimes I can't find a building with its name written in big-a*s-bus-sized letters and some people can find the same tree and the same perspective from a movie made 17 years ago.

I look at this and just, wow! I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful country... it's a shame a lot of us don't appreciate the beauty of our home.

I love this one the most! ♡ and your hair looks so beautiful here, a little change in the outfit and you'd look like an elf!

Her entire countenance & hair amongst such a lush, beauty of nature; gives it all a very uncanny true sighting of a Silvan elf.

No need to go to NZ, I could take similar photo in the nearest park

Where's Isengard? Good heavens, the whole city just disappeared! Probably for that bypass.
