Today I was a real tourist and I visited the Hobbiton movie set in New Zealand. Apart from the obvious hobbit like creations that have been constructed with massive attention to detail there were also some amazing real features that are maintained to keep the set and magic alive. As I walked around I took some pictures of the plants, flowers and the hobbit holes themselves. I hope to use these pictures as inspiration to create my own hobbit hole setting. I also visited some unbeliaveble geothermal areas yesterday which included a geothermal stream and waterfall, basically mother nature’s answer to a jacuzzi. I am hoping to use these amazing experiences to recreate my own scene. Wish me luck.
