March 22: Erebor

Catch glimpses of the famous Eagle’s Eyries! Visit the Carrock! See the famous hall of Beorn! Visit the Lonely Mountain, famous ancestral home of the Dwarves! Or take a boat-ride over the ruins of Laketown! For the more daring, try snorkeling in the depths of Long Lake to see the remains of the famous dragon, Smaug!

Today's Challenge:
Refugee issues are our issues; their plight is our plight. Write a story or poem or create artwork that illustrates the situation of some displaced group in Middle-earth.

Passport Stamp:
Once you complete the challenge, you may save today's image or copy the code below to display your passport stamp wherever HTML is acceptable. To have your stamp added to your passport, please comment on this post.

Caught up again, puff puff puff... In which my author's notes get out of hand and are longer than the piece itself:

In This Far Land Beneath the Trees (http://azalaisdep.livejournal.com/81344.html).

I have a quick question. I would like to complete most of these but likely won't be finished by the end of the month. I know the daily stamps will be up for a while but I don't know graphics to save my life. *g* Is there an online tutorial that could help me figure out how to add the stamps to the passport myself? I have Photoshop Elements and I'm so graphically challenged even the help menu confounds me a lot of the time because I don't know the terminology so am never sure what to look for. :-)
