It's such a beautiful set it almost made me forget the Professor's fanciful silliness of putting the dwarves in Rivendell on the exact same day, midsummer's eve, at the exact same phase of the moon as when the runes were written - with the one being in Middle-earth who could read them, no less. It's all very fortunate, wouldn't you agree? Totally agree! Several of my friends had the biggest issue with this scene and all were 100% convinced this was added by PJ. Some of them were shocked when I reminded them that this is in the book. Of course, there is the whole thing about "meant to be". But as much as I love our dear Professor, this does not make that a great storytelling-device;) This is a continuing theme in Tolkien's works, and shows his faith in a Larger Power orchestrating things. It is not coincidence at all.
Go outside and play...

I just imagined Elrond kicking someone of the edge, shouting "This! Is! Rivendell!" //
