    A bit different from the movie version, but Tolkien was definetly a good artist.

    He’s a really good artist, but for some reason, I really don’t like this.

    i’m surprised there are so many buildings, and that they seem to have tiled roofs, i though they’d be thatched

    Actually, I;m not sure those are houses. That big one in fron is the mill, and as for those other ones…

    The mill’s just like the movie but the wheel went against the current in the movie.

    In Bilbo’s times, it was mostly the richer and poorer hobbits that lived in holes.

    So pretty! But for some reason, I think the above-ground houses look rather big, almost too big for hobbits…

    I really like this picture – looks like a perfect world! But aren’t the houses a little too big for hobbits?
