Electronic feelings of life and death in the land of Middle-earth.

After seeing my favourite bok of all time, "Lord of the rings", make it all the way to the cinema screen, i felt that i had to honour J.R.R. Tolkien & Peter Jackson. J.R.R. Tolkien is truly the greatest writer of all time. He managed to create the most amazing land imaginable, Middle-earth.
