Far over the Misty Mountains old

Or: Fate hath decided: The next update in my long-overdue LJ catch-up will be... *DUN DUN DUN* the Mittelerde-Fest picspam!
With some commentary in lieu of any sort of proper travelogue.

( Many pictures (thumbnails) under the cut, you have been warned )

Oof! Let's see when I manage to post the next batch of photos. Or just a general old update, whatever. Did I mention that the days are just packed?
