"...THE IMPRISONED MOONLIGHT WELLING THROUGH THE MARBLE WALLS OF MINAS ITHIL LONG AGO..."
"...Tower of the Moon, fair and radiant in the hollow of the hills."
-- "THE LORD OF THE RINGS: "The Two Towers," Chapter 8: Book 2, c. 1954, "The Stairs of Cirith Ungol," written by professor J.R.R. Tolkien
PIC INFO: Spotlight on an illustration titled "The Tower of the Moon," located in Minas Ithil, and in its prime, before it fell to Sauron's forces in the Third Age. Moonlight reflected off the marble walls of the city so that it seemed to shine in the night, hence its name. Artwork by Ted Nasmith.
