We spent a day touring the Lord of the Rings filming sights in Upper Hutt. Sadly the weather never cleared up. But, even through the rain we had a very pleasant time.
 |
| Near the sight of Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith. |
 |
| This is the sight of the River Anduin. |
 |
| Here at a neighbourhood park they filmed the scenes for Isengard. This is where Gandalf and Saruman meet after the ring was rediscovered. |
 |
| At Rivendell. |
 |
| Stephen giving homage to Sir Peter Jackson. |
 |
| The girls picked their favourite character. |
 |
| Lucy with her Hobbit. They are about the same height, but Lucy is a little taller. |
 |
| This arch is the only movie set structure still standing. |
 |
| A cool swing bridge near the Rivendell sight. Sadly the swing bridge didn't make it into the movie. But it looked too fun to not cross it. |
We ended the wet but fun day at home warm and watching Fellowship of the Ring. It was fun seeing in the movie the places we had been to that day.
