I love this depiction of Moria gates by #Tolkien so much! Looks so tranquil and peaceful.

These two dragons showing the wonders of suppleness and the ability to get tied in a knot are my absolute favourites as depicted by #Tolkien.

Ossë is a vassal of Ulmo,and he is master of the seas that wash the shores of Middle-earth.He does not go in the deeps,but loves the coasts and the isles, and rejoices in the winds of Manwë;for in storm he delights,and laughs amid the roaring of the waves. #Tolkien

“His grey thirsty spirit drew power out of the earth and spread like fine root-threads in the ground, and invisible twig-fingers in the air, till it had under its dominion nearly all the trees of the Forest from the Hedge to the Downs” (FR).
