Default The Doors of Durin....or something similar :D

Was really struck by the appearance of the door and realising that the sun would actually be right behind it in around 20 mins, really really tempted me to wait for the shot. Worth the wait!!
After the shot and the post processing it reminded of the scene from Lord of The Rings where they fight off the octopus like creature called The Watcher.
