. I think my favorite parts were the swooping camera shots of Isengard and the quarries. The Mines of Moria were great too with the forest of columns and little orcs all over the place.

Most of the Isengard scenes were indeed filmed in a quarry, less than 200 yards from State Highway 2 at Haywards in the Hutt Valley. There were crowds of people on the side of the road and on the surrounding hills trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on while the filming was in progress. I understand they're going to open the quarry (with sets) for viewing. Or may have already done. Fancy - Disneyland in the Hutt!
