About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

Day 76 - This is the site of the Burnt Orc Mound - where Aragorn Kicked the helmet after Gimli found a hobbit buckle in the burnt remains. For the record - the kicking the Orc Helmet scene took 4 takes to get right, and the last one was perfect. Finally Aragorn let out an emotional scream. He and his companions thought that the young hobbits were dead. In reality, Viggo Mortenson (who played Aragorn) had just broken 2 of his toes on that 4th and final kick!!
This mound is part of the open valley between the North and South Mavora Lakes, located between Lake Wakatipu and Lake Te Anau. Road access is a gravel road that runs North from the Mount Nicholas Road - which runs between Walter Peak station (on the south side of Lake Wakatipu - access by boat from Queenstown) and eventually all the way down to Highway 94 between Te Anau and Gore. The Valley has a very good camping site near the North Mevora Lake.

I remember that story about Viggo's toe. And that he just kept rolling with it because he was that good at staying in character!
