Pics of places that look like places from the films, or are just nice. [3]

This is a place where I used to live as a child. Its ancient woodland called "Old Roar Gill". All summer me & my friends would run in the woods, splash thru the little stream & in my mind this was the world of "Little Grey men" by BB.

that's just what a kid needs in the backyard! So many don't get that these days.

Looks great. To be a kid again!

I like this picture of Gandalf but, I think the depiction of Bilbo is a bit...odd ? It doesn't gel right for me.

A bit small for a full-grown hobbit.

That's it. And the head is too like Christopher Robin.

Grenofen Woods, Dartmoor.

ooo...that's a good'un!

Bilbo's arm is very... wrong. The belt buckle thing and the split in the west doesn't add up with the rest of the body. No shape of waist or buttocks. Looks more like a front, doesn't it?

"Definition of front
a :a person, group, or thing used to mask the identity or true character or activity of the actual controlling agent"

I thought this was the Hobbit, not Breaking Bad

A Hobbit pantry ?

All except for the cellophane wrapped sticks on the lower left. What are those flat things stacked in the trough at the back? Is it crunchy? Can we eats it?

I'm pretty sure this place has been featured in these pages before, but she's developed the concept a bit.  It sort of pulls you out of the fantasy world to have a hobbit door open directly on a bed, but she make the point that the view out the front door is so amazing you just want to lay in bed and look out over the landscape, so we'll let her get away with it.  These will be rental properties with a communal kitchen in a structure that feels like an English pub.

Oh how I would love to live in a cottage like that !

I love that video! Building my own (human scale) Hobbit hole vacation home was always my "if I ever win the lottery" dream. Not that I actually play lotto...

Ditto

Hand carved door, Danish, 1930's ( so they say ) The beak is the door knocker

that's gorgeous

Eye of a Dragon

It looks more like a basin of water surrounded by ivy and reflecting a tree to me. Unless the ambiguity is the point?

Actually yes, it is a pond & it is a reflection but, it looks other worldly ? N'est ce pas

I thought it was nicely captured art. Once you put the thought "dragon's eye" in your head it works perfectly.
