The first and second photos are taken about an hour or so out of Queenstown in a place actually called paradise (quite appropriate) this is around the same area, not quite the exact area where rivendell was filmed.
The 6th,7th and 8th photos are in a witcoulls (book shop) window at the start of the year, (only now just got the film back)
I don't know if any of these are helpful but I thought some people might be interested.
