Sometimes I have been lucky enough to have my camera along. Out of that vast TORn photo library that includes digital images, and old scratched negitives, I put a few images together with some music from Arjan Kiel, (with thanks to fan film ‘Born of Hope,’) to pay tribute to the whole community of TheOneRing.net.

April 26, 1999: the fateful day almost ten years ago that TheOneRing.net domain came to be; the brainchild of four Tolkien fans (Xoanon, Tehanu, Calisuri and Corvar) who had no idea how their little site, meant to give fans periodic updates on the LOTR movies, would grow!
TheOneRing.net readers are being offered free tickets to see an amazing bit of LOTR theater this weekend in the San Francisco area of California.
