My pilgrimage to Middle Earth - visiting LOTR and Hobbit filming locations

Since the The Fellowship of the Rings came out on year 2001 my biggest dream was to visit all the amazing filming locations. It took 13 years and another cinematic return to Middle Earth for me to finally fulfill this dream and watch The Battle of Five Armies premiere already in New Zealand - the home of Peter Jackson's Middle Earth. I traveled to many of the filming locations, but there are also many left to explore like Mt Olympus in Kahurangi National Park, where the Fellowship was hiding from Saruman's crows, Mushroom rock near Port Waikato otherwise known as Weathertop ;) and Mavora lakes park in Queenstown area or Fangorn forest edge with a burning pile of orcs and shores of Nen Hithoel, where Sam joined Frodo on his journey to Mordor. Some of the places are not actual filming locations, but gave me a very close feel to the films. I hope you enjoy my pictorial journey through Middle Earth with some of the incredible music that Howard Shore composed for the films :)
