You never know when I might show u something from a non-USA location.

LOTR – Edoras

So i spoke with the roving correspondent and he came through with the pictures of the location in New Zealand where some of Lord of the Rings was filmed.

This rocky dome is where Edoras was built.  The realm of King Theoden, Rohan was the country, Edoras was its city.

This shows a pic of Eowin on the platform outside the Kings dwelling.

and the same view without the LOTR additions, the Southern Alps of New Zealand.

Oahu, Waikiki

Ah, the roving correspondent is officially back in the States.  If you have been following his progress he was at the south pole, and lately has been moving further and further north.  Because if you leave the south pole, u pretty much have to. Go north that is.

If you look at the first picture u can see Diamond Head.  It’s the peak of the volcano that formed the island.  Though it doesn’t look very tall from the picture it is the island’s highest point.  I have visited this island, it is totally awesome.  I even surfed.  You should too if u ever have the chance.

I include it because i asked for pictures of whatever my correspondent was up to, and because this weather were having here is too cold too long.
