Way back in September I wore Olwë to FanExpo in Toronto; if you know that convention center you know there’s nowhere really great to shoot unless your costumes are really specific – it was also painfully bright out. The wonderful @katharynmarie made me look gorgeous and ethereal anyway! Mad skills, bro ❤️ 📷

The palantír replied to each, but all those in Gondor were ever open to the view of Osgiliath. Now it appears that, as the rock of Orthanc has withstood the storms of time, so there the palantír of that tower has remained. But alone it could do nothing but see small images of things far off and days remote. Very useful, no doubt, that was to Saruman; yet it seems that he was not content. Further and further abroad he gazed, until he cast his gaze upon Barad-dûr. Then he was caught!
