Hi team this is my first post and hopefully a worthwhile one for all the fans of the Lord of the Rings Films. I have tried to locate most of the filming locations of interest of the 3 'Lord of the rings' movies, which were filmed entirerly in New Zealand.
I searched through the whole site and couldnt find such a placemarking project.
I wasnt sure where to post this, the subforums are rather vague, please move it mods if you feel this is the wrong place for it.
I found about keyhole last year and badly wanted to try it but lacked an adequate computer, 2 weeks ago that ceased to be a problem and now I am addicted! My lifelong fascination of geology and geography has been fully ignited. I love google earth!

hi,
I have posted a few just this afternoon, they are in the Earth, Earth browsing section, they all have Lord of the Rings in their title. I have a few more locations which I might post later on as well. I though all my Lord of the Rings stuff at once might just annoy everyone.

Fantastic, some of the sites are easy to recognize from the film like Edoras. Nice job.

someone asked in another thread how did you know? well this little book was invaluable, it has some locations with GPS pinpoints, the rest of the locations from the book were approximations that I filled in with local knowledege  .
One of the filming locations Edoras is only one hour drive from my home town, I know the area well and when I first heard that Jackson had chosen that particular spot I instantly thought perfect choice!

Good job mate 
--------------------
I search, therefore i am.
Hello, Before you post up a new placemark, check it isnt already been posted by a: ticking the box-
b:searching the forums, as it might take time for it to appear on the map
Look after the BBS!, dont clog up the same placemark unless you have something new to add to it! (like a map)

Cool post! they certainly used alot of New Zealand in the filming, I saw the SEE DVDs and remember all the searching they did by helicopter well before the movie to find perfect locations, I didnt realise that there quite so many!
Shame NZ isnt at a higher resolution.
Has anyone down one of theRings tours that are now popular in NZ?
I'd love to go to NZ and do one.

Awesome job! I don't keep many of the non-Katrina placemarks I find, but this one is definitely a keeper! Now if we can only get some high rez images of the area. *sigh*
