I Visited Almost Every ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Filming Location And Recreated Some Scenes
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.

Also - Mt Ruapehu is a very appropriate stand-in for Mordor. It is a freakin' volcano, after all. Killed a lot of people in its time. (BTW, did you meet and Orcs? Y'know - from Auckland?)
#2
Leaving The Shire In Hobbit's Hideaway, Wellington
Final score:
97points

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.

Final score:

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

great job: Google paid each week on-line from home over $4000+ simply by operating merely on-line. Last month I actually have got paid $19523 simply by operating four weeks on-line. Its simply wonderful and my earnings ar currently far better than regular nine to five workplace job. This job is simply outstanding. attempt currently to induce additional money on-line from the small print here...... http://bit.ly/2mgS6mW
