Hobbit Hill
Hobbit Hill by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

A Side 7 exclusive! View to Bag End from the party ground, Hobbiton film set, Waikato, New Zealand. You may notice the chimney in the foreground is smoking; how the mechanism works and what they use I have no clue.

@Warehouse_Rabbit: A couple of these are built to full scale, but most of the actual photography involved kid actors and trick angles. Daily reminder John Rhys-Davies, one of the tallest in the cast, played the dwarf. ;p
