I truly enjoy comparing Tolkien’s words with the paintings of Ted Nasmith…he follows exactly. Here are Frodo, Sam and Gollum at Minas Morgul.
“So they came slowly to the white bridge. Here the road, gleaming faintly, passed over the steam in the midst of the valley, and went on, winding deviously up towards the city’s gate…From mead to mead the bridge sprang. Figures stood there at its head, carven with cunning in forms human and bestial, but all corrupt and loathsome. The water flowing beneath was silent, and it steamed, but the vapour that rose from it, curling and twisting about the bridge, was deadly cold” ~TTT
