Just thought I would let you know that I've written a story about this Middle Earth collection of placemarks at the Google Earth Blog.

I love it..I am a huge fan of the books and the movies.. I t is hard to believe that most of New Zealand was used for filming until I saw the map..
I have one problem though it does not show the shots you mention on each location.
I cannot view the actual picture at all
Any Ideas????

Sorry there are no movie photos of the locations, I guess for hard core fans they can watch their SEE DVD's and connect the names to the locations.

Hi gang,
I was fortunate enough to have visited many of the LOTR filming locations in 2004 during a trip to NZ. I have many photos and am willing to share but I am new to Google Earth and am not sure how (or where) to post the pictures.
I have some great shots with DVD stills incorporated from the movies.
Please help, Mark

Hi! I live in Argentina (s34.6242347114, w58.4564206768 in G.E.). I've never been to New Zeland, but i know people who travelled... it's so great! Even in photos! I hope some day i could visit it... I'm a fan of LORT too. When i was 12 years old i had read the Silmarilion, and now i'm starting it again. Bye!

Hi Mark,
This summer I travelled to Egypt. I reconstructed our journey with Google Earth. I used the pictures I made and imported them as overlays. The result is quite beautiful. You can find the trip HERE. If you start with the movielocations of LOTR as posted before, you can add your pictures as overlays and create a new dimension to this roundtrip! I hope to hear more, and am looking forward to the result!

Has anyone managed to get any of the photos and DVD stills online that were mentioned earlier in the thread?

Well not yet anyway. Mark Mitchell posted me and said he would try it the way I did it with Egypt. He was working on it. so with a little patience we will get to see a nice show!
