Different perspectives [In reply to] Can't Post

I would have preferred that 120 been selected, the higher perspective helps place it in the surrounding landscape. On the other hand, since this is a tale told from Bilbo's point of view, keeping the viewpoint lower as in 121 also makes sense even if I find the image less pleasing. 119 might have been a good compromise giving a wider view while still keeping a near-ground viewpoint by looking out over a valley.

"The grand scheme of God is inscrutable; the object of life is virtue, not pleasure; and obedience, not liberty, is the means of its attainment." ~Russell Kirk
