\"\"<\/a>Our friend Jack<\/strong> down in New Zealand who frequently posts Hobbit-related news on his “Noldor Blog<\/a><\/strong>”\u00a0had a stroke of luck while\u00a0driving out towards Rivendell\/Kaitoke Regional Park. He noticed an open truck carrying along what looked like set pieces for a film, most probably The Hobbit<\/strong>, and he\u00a0managed to snap more than a few high resolution pictures from a couple of different angles.<\/p>\n

Here follows an excerpt from his blog (but don’t forget to head over to\u00a0The Noldor Blog<\/a> to read Jack’s entire account and have a look-see at those high resolution pictures we mentioned above.)<\/p>\n

We were driving on State Highway 2, heading towards Upper Hutt, and the Kaitoke Regional Park where the Rivendell set was based for LOTR, when in the distance, I couldn’t help but notice an interesting cargo on the back of one of the trucks in front of us.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pictures appear to show a piece of very nice “stone” masonry, with curved tiles on a fairly large wooden base. Also, underneath some camo plastic, there were what appeared to be pre-fabricated wooden fences of some sort.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have an opinion about which set the pictures show? Our message boards<\/a> are just the place to discuss with fellow fans!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
