Hi everyone! I figured I ought to say hello and introduce myself properly. My name is Cara, I am 23 years old, I live in Northern Ireland and I am a history nerd student currently studying for my Masters. I specialise in the history of early modern witchcraft, which I love love love.
I enjoy belly dancing, horse riding, taking photographs, playing video games, reading, fly fishing, travelling, baking, making things, painting and cooking. I also enjoy role playing though I have taken rather a long break from it - I'm excited to be getting back to it!
I know you guys will appreciate this... back in 2009 I went travelling and spent three months in New Zealand's South Island. I went on this amazing Lord of the Rings day trip to visit where Edoras was constructed. Here are some of the pictures:
Edoras! Many other scenes from The Lord of the Rings were filmed in this valley. There was a huge gorge in the mountains - it acted as Helm's Deep. Nearby they also filmed the scenes where the Wargs ambush the Edoras evacuees.
The view from Edoras.
Sword fighting - because that's what happen when you give people swords. XD (for the record, I'm the girlie on the right)
I think this marked where Théoden's throne was in Meduseld. I'm not entirely sure though - it's been a while!
Flying the flag of Rohan!
My friend and I took the Stray bus around South Island, we made this stop shortly before Milford Sound - this is where they filmed the battle of the Pelennor Fields. How beautiful is New Zealand??
Anywho, please do say hello and maybe tell me a bit about yourself. And if there is anything you want to know about me, ask away! ^^
