Faramir has two of his Rangers stand guard over Frodo and Sam while the rest ambush a regiment of Southrons moving north along the road to the Black Gate. The remnants of the regiment are pursued and destroyed, but not before Sam gets to see a mighty Oliphant as it careers past.

Photo of a few square inches of tree trunk. Growing on the tree trunk are several grey lichens (growing flat on tree), a lichen that looks like a bunch of tiny egg yolks, and a bright red fungus that looks like a half dozen or so round/oval red blobs.
A few square inches of tree trunk. At least 4 species of lichens (Parmelia, two Physcia species and Caloplaca) plus Red Tree Brain Fungus. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends.

Two tawny frogmouths perched on a palm tree branch. Both have large, bright orange eyes and fluffy facial feathers, and they stare directly toward the camera while sitting side-by-side.
Looking lively just before taking off for the night to hunt for insects.

Chance Of Storms For Perth Early Sunday Morning And Again Sunday Afternoon 🌩️ #PerthNews #PerthStorm #PerthWeather #Wheatbelt #WesternAustralia
At sunrise, Edoras is a bright speck of gold against the snow-tipped mountains. Aragorn chants a song of the Rohirrim as they ride toward it.
“Where now the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk
and the bright hair flowing?…”
On the threshold of Théoden’s hall, Aragorn must place his sword, Legolas his bow, and Gimli his axe before they enter. The doorward Háma turns to Gandalf. ‘The staff in the hand of a wizard may be more than a prop for age.’
Gandalf will not yield it.
Háma relents. They enter.
