Entrance to Rivendell

Inspired by a mixture of the Celtic Festival of Beltane where all Springs and Wells were honoured as sacred , and the magical story of Lord of the Rings by Tolkien.....particularly the magical Elven home of Rivendell.

The image is created from several pictures of Puzzle Wood in the Forest of Dean , and the well is from a small village in the Cotswolds called Compton Abdale.

I thought that the Well made a very fitting welcome to drink from before entering the mystical Rivendell.
