Counting down to ROTK - 4

4 more days

The progress on my essays has eased my conscience enough to let me begin posting countdown entries to Wednesday's ROTK.

Inspired by the super trailer on the special edition of the ROTK soundtrack, which features shots from FOTR and TTT that lead into the trailer of ROTK, I thought of choosing some paintings by Ted Nasmith, a popular painter of Tolkien's work, to mark the journey from its beginning till the end.

Leaving the Shire by Ted Nasmith

The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

~by Bilbo Baggins~

Go here to see more of Ted Nasmith's work.
