White Tree Matchstick Minas Tirith
Someone with apparently a great deal of spare time has built Minas Tirith from matchsticks.
Denethor'd better hope the Witch-king leaves his grill-lighter at home.

Just think, now when he loses all hope, he can take the entire city with him! Take that, Gandalf!

He spent nearly three years working on that? Well, it certainly payed off, although I can't imagine how much work that would take!

Wow. Just Wow. I have no idea how any body could have enough patience to make something like that.

On the other hand, I'm not sure how that guy could possibly get fire insurance for wherever he stores his artwork.

Actually, it wasn't during his spare time - the artist was employed to undertake this task by Inziladun, who is constantly looking for new ways to start interesting threads.

Oh man, it would be awesome to set that thing on fire (though the builder might not agree)!

Ever heard of a fiesta called las Fallas in Valencia, Spain?

Truly incredible! Must have 48 hours in his day.

Hopefully there's fire extinguishers placed frequently throughout Rath Dinen.
