trees

Painted in 1944 by Paul Nash it is based on two actual clumps of trees on hills near Oxford (Wittenham Clumps) which are a distinctive feature in the landscape. Nash did many paintings and drawings of the clumps but I was struck by the moonlight vs sunlight of this painting. The vernal or spring...

As an excercise, I thought I would take the two story worlds that I enjoy thinking about the most (Tolkien's Middle Earth and My Little Pony's Equestria) and see how many similarities I can find. 1. Dragons Although many fantasy works have dragons in them of some distinction, it must be noted...

There are a number of threads on various sites detailing the timeline between the wounding of the Two Trees and Fingolfin crossing the ice. People are arguing that the journey took 33 years! As I re-read the Silmarillion, that timeline seems crazy. 1) It makes no narrative sense. Feanor is...

Evidence: The Lamps seem to be directly responsible for the Spring of Arda, whereby flora and fauna quantity and diversity (if I've understood this correctly) appeared throughout Arda. That directly suggests light from the lamps had a creation power, or at least a very strong growing + mutagenic...

So mallorn trees, at least few, existed in early Third Age, before the foundation of Dol Guldur probably. But Galadriel had never visited Lorien in TA until 1060! I guess she used Elessar to grow some mallorn trees after the War of the Elves and Sauron. It seems Olorin gifted it to her sometime...

Bilbo Baggins lived the life of a rich bachelor having inherited wealth from Bungo Baggins and Belladonna Took but he also lived a long life. How did he invest his wealth? The West Farthing Bank or part ownership of The Green Dragon or The Mill?

Call me inquisitive but as a fairly new member I'm curious about something and so far haven't found an answer here. Who designed and rendered the site's Header, Laurelin and Telperion? I ask bc I think it's wonderful. It was actually what first drew me to the website, a hook I kept returning...

Talking Trees—Secrets of Plant Communication https://answersingenesis.org/biology...talking-trees/ An amazing read about trees and how they can communicate. Some of the highlights I thought were "Researchers are discovering that trees form communities that “talk” to each other, sharing their...

Just a new necklace that my gf made, with Silmarils and Ungoliant's spiderweb.

At first all the significance of having seen the light of the Two Trees seems metaphorical, that it just allured to the fact that those elves have apprenticed under the Ainur and learned a lot of stuff before the First Age (compared to their brethren who stayed in Middle Earth and played with...

After the Two Trees were poisoned, Yavanna said she could heal them with "but a little of that light". Now, the Silmarils were gone, right, but why didn't they use the stars to at least heal one Tree? According to Chapter 3, a good number of those were made out of Telperion's dew.

Hi, I just want to say that the banner of the Trees of Valinor is beautiful. Very nice work. ;)

Trees are being chopped down right and left in the UK. Tolkien is no doubt spinning in his grave... Barley

Hobbits outdo Orcs vs the trees but why wasn't Tom reffing? Couple things wrapped into one as they are sort of related. In the Shire chapters we learn a little about how the Old Forest 'attacked' the Shire by leaning over the hedge (I'd say more like threatened than actually attacked). The...

This question came up into a discussion on Chapter 8 of the Silmarillion. Really...! Think of it - the Valar came from darkness, lived in darknes, the most part of the world lived in darkness even when the Trees existed, the Elves woke up in darkness and long lived in it and never stopped...

When Frodo and company enter the old forest in the fellowship there is talk of dangerous trees that attacked the hedge surrounding buckland are these trees the ones they call ents???

Talk about foreshadowing... Just re-watched Fellowhip after seeing TTT a few times... when the orcs are cutting the tress down.. they moan in agony.. I always wondered what the noise was... and simply attributed it to the sound trees make when they fall.. but it sounds like the screams of the...

Anybody Seen an Ent? Fellow tree lovers! Tolkien was a great lover of trees and nature - the ents, er...Old Man Willow..ahem...Lothlorien, o.k. the WHOLE BOOK, etc! So, my question is, which trees today remind you most of the ents? Which tree would you pick to be Fangorn? :D P.S. Any tree...

Family Trees......................... ok, i'm trying to fugure out the people in tolkien's book's family trees. this means anyone, elves, men, dwarves, hobbits.....i need ur help. so if anyone has anything to tell me (who was whom's father, etc, etc) plz do it here. this is for my website, by...

In the ROTK appendices there is a mention of Thranduil fighting a great battle under the trees. I can find no mention of which army the Dark Lord sent though. The Atlas of Middle Earth shows the enemy coming from Dol Guldor but I can find no text to support that conclusion. With forces...
