This is Emerald Valley's Tolkien paradise

Emerald Valley is magic, sunny, and emerald-green with lush vegetation. I think this is where Tolkien illustrators foresaw the setting for the books. See for yourself:


This veranda is on a branch of the Yahalma River. The Valley is a flat plateau nestled between the forbidding Northern Mountains, the cliffs guarding the city of Waldihnok in the north, and the natural squeeze where Morau-Slaatblau cities are located.
