Dwarfs, magic or reality

by on Oct.26, 2010, under IJsland

On the trip from the airport to the capital, I was probably dazed from the flight a little something to remember, but to Reykjavik I was feeling this Tolkien never left. It is sometimes breath-behaving nicely, I would like some suspicion. I am looking for the mistakes of the special effects. As if this is a movie and not reality. Can not see the transition of computer animation and reality? Are not these orcs or trolls? In passing, it turns out to be but as a ledge, or a group of stones. Somehow, the windshield of a movie screen is similar in 3D.

Mittelerde Rohan Middle Earth
Enchanted
Rivendell oder doch nur ein Steinhaufen? Rivendell Rivendell or just a pile of rocks?
Eingang nach Moria Magical sea entrance to Moria
Liegt da Mordor? There is Mordor? Is there Mordor?

It follows, however, eventually the disappointment.

We are so excited. The urge to touch the index finger of his right hand a camera shutter must be unbearable. We stop the car in a holding bay, right by the roadside. The driver's door opens, and ... it's right over.

The cold wind was tearing the door almost out of hand. Everything is loose inside the car making themselves immediately with the wind on the way out. Quickly the door again. Oh, by surprise. Everything put away, and then try again. So now I'm out there. Yes, that's not really. It's so cold ... the wind is so sharp. Quickly back to the trunk, there is the coat and of course the camera. This is not a professional automobile effect, that is the cold reality. The magic is blown out of my mind. It is mid-May. It is about 2 degrees and the wind force 7, at home, the shorts and T-shirts out of the wardrobe.
And then suddenly it is yet again magically.
The whole time we had met no one, at least 30 minutes no cars, no houses, and for an hour. Here we are alone, but then there is suddenly the Volkswagen bus, he stands right beside me. I have not heard him. Surely the wind. The doors are opening, and about 8 small males come out. Dark hair, camera, Asian appearance. Yes now I see it, a Japanese flag adorns the back of the books that they all carry the left hand. They are spread before me, the cameras will be lifted once, twice, three times .... Then the Bustüre opened again, they all get on. The bus moves on, and they're gone. ... That lasted longer than 2.5 minutes. But were the dwarfs? I'm still puzzled here.
