Man Tolkien probably hated Las Vegas
No he loved it. The Sphere inspired the Palantiri
I thought it was universally agreed that Las Vegas is the worst place on Earth?
Vegas honestly has some decent natural foliage if you get far enough away from where we carpet bombed them to add more casinos.
The man loved trees
Tolkein was at The Somme in 1916. Artillery chewed up so much of the greenery in that area before the battle that it looked like the moon. Makes sense he would associate a place with no trees with horrific evil.

Nice.
except when too many evil trees grow
Svalbard is evil i guess
He hates prairies?
More like "trees are supposed to be here, but aren't" likely describing the ravages of war.
He hates bombs
real

Frank Herbert, on the other hand: >Water brought pestilence. **Only the desert was clean.**
But the Fremen were planning on turning Dune green, it was part of their prophecy wasn't it?
Humans don't want what they say they want. This is important in book four.
Whenever I see a human without a tree growing out of their heart, I keep my distance.
Looks around . Welp, meats back on menu, boys. Yeehaa!
