    Early in the journey from Rivendell towards Mordor, the Fellowship stops for a rest. Gandalf sits upon a rock and says he doesn't want to pass through the mines of Moria. In the 1st picture, I am sitting on the rock where that scene was filmed. This is the scene where the crows or spies of Sauron fly over.
    The 2nd picture is where Sam had his campfire and was cooking before the crows flew over.
    The 3rd picture is a longer view of the entire location where this sequence was filmed.
    The next 3 pictures are various views of the site.
    The remaining 4 pictures are looks at the view. It is a stunning site.
