Middle Earth Mega Project
Balrog of Morgoth (Incarnation of Immortal Evil.. or just Misunderstood?)
After my previous post featuring Gandalf on the stump that is all that is left of the Bridge of Khazad Dum, my “Middle Earth Mega Project” would not be complete without a look at the opposite side of the bridge, not just in terms of visual but of the mindset of the Balrog!
It’s quite easy to sympathise with the Balrog given hindsight. How would you feel if your home was invaded by a bunch of ruffians, who woke you up from a deep slumber by dropping buckets and suits of armour down wells, throwing stones into ponds and upsetting the wildlife, enraging the neighbours and their pets, as well as destroying the local and only bridge (clearly an exemplar of “Post-Durinic-Dwarven-Minimalism” and no doubt listed by the local planning department), causing you to fall into a near bottomless chasm where you were to be rudely assaulted by a cantankerous old man, clad in a grey dressing gown who frankly could do with a bit of a wash up and a shave!
I don’t know about you but I would be “FLAMING-ANGRY”!
