Weary from their journey and staggered by the loss of Gandalf, the beleaguered companions are both awed and wary of this strange, enchanted place.
Weta Workshop designer Gus Hunter depicts the eight remaining members of the Fellowship of the Ring as they walk in the light of Caras Galadhon, city of the Elves, in the forest of Lothlórien.
While great mallorn trees tower above them, twinkling with light, they begin their long climb upon the branches where the Lady Galadriel awaits.
This moment has been expertly captured by Gus Hunter: long-time Wētā Workshop conceptual designer who started on The Lord of The Rings trilogy alongside Jeremy Bennett and was an early adopter of the digital painting techniques Wētā uses today.
