Postering for Middle Earth

Postering for Middle Earth

Frodo, Gollum & Sam at Bag End, discussing the best approach to get to Mordor via the back way.

 

They've realised Mount Doom is doable and Gollum will lead the way.

 

Gollum heading for Bondi Beach in Middle Earth, taking one of his famous
short cuts, through hazardous terrain.

 

 

 

We safely arrive via the dreaded valley of Minas Morgul.

 

 

Mordor can be deceptive, but it looks like a fantastic beach.

 

 

 

The main drag down the volcanic slope of Mount Doom.

 

 

The tempting power of the Ring is too great and the sight, sounds and smell
of the beach and waves become hypnotic.

 

Hopeless and paralysed Frodo and Sam fall into a day dream.

 

 

 

 

 

Finally Frodo breaks free from the hypnotic power of the One Ring and
continues to climb Mount Doom.

 

 

Frodo just checking the Ring is still in the bag as real Orcs with backpacks
sneek past.

 

 

Phew, Mr. Frodo still has the Ring.

 

 

Orcs hypnotised by the waves carry their surf boards and don't even notice
Frodo.

 

 

Gollum, trying to setup a detour and deceive Sam into thinking he's doing every
joint.

 

 

Time for a break. Covering Mount Doom becomes exhausting.

 

 

Can't rest for too long. Gollum lets Frodo do all the work so he can get
the Ring.

 

 

The Power of the Ring takes over again and Frodo starts dreaming of the
Shire and a swim.

 

Frodo points out the volcanic tip and remembers about Sauron, the dark
Lord of Mordor.

 

 

But suddenly becomes transfixed again.

 

 

Paralysed in a day dream.

 

 

After safely wading through perilous joints we make it back to the top.

 

 

Sam, says look at me.

 

 

Frodo, Gollum and Sam - courageous and fearless, protectors of the Ring.

 

 

Gollum cunningly influences Frodo and Sam and takes them on another perilous
short cut.

 

 

Mount Doom (Coogee, Mordor) - Frodo destroying the Ring will soon put
an end to the dark times of the Third Age of Middle Earth.

 

 

The final battle against the mesmerizing effect of the Ring takes place.

 

Overcoming all temptation to throw himself into the sea, Mr Frodo resists.

 

 

Finally Gollum, Frodo and Sam wake up again and see the light. The battles
continues....

 

 

Sam having a binge after Mr.Frodo found the time (whilst Sauron's armies were
distracted) to destroy the Ring by throwing Gollum and his 'Precious' into the
sea.

 

 

Sam and Frodo enjoying a peaceful Hobbits meal.

 

 

Oh no, Gollum suddenly appears again after taking off the Ring. He was tempted
back to The Shire to witness....

 

for the last time, Mr Frodo blowing bubbles with his Mango Lassi and then sing
an old hobbit song.

 

 

On the way back to Bag End, another shortcut by Gollum :-(

 

 

The Shire.

Bag End, The Hobbits Hut, with a green door.

 

Green door ? Maybe it's really the Black Gate of Mordor in disguise?

 

Find out in next weeks episode of Postering for Middle Earth.
