Since I installed Google Earth I wondered if someone mapped the filming locations as placemarks. Quick web searches didn’t reveal much – only one placemark for Helm’s Deep. However tonight I found a very rich collection of Middle Earth placemarks, showing many locations plus the WETA studios.
I’m very attached to the Lord of the Rings. Since the age of 12, when I read it the first time, I have re-read it numerous times. Also, dearly missed friends have emigrated to New Zealand almost two years ago – so my longing to actually go to Middl… er…. New Zealand has increased dramatically.
Someone picked up my idea: http://www.thetoque.net/computers/google-introduces-google-middle-earth.html
