Blue Sky in Mordor???
Gothmog

Is it just me or is anyone else confused by some of the spoiler pics floating around that show Sam and Frodo in orc garb under a blue sky? I've read the books too many times to count and feel right in thinking that there was a thick and continuous darkness hovering over the land of Mordor. At the point that they are mistaken for orcs, they are definitely in Mordor.

Anyone want to help me understand why I've seen them under a blue sky (and also why I've seen Sam holding Sting in very bright sunshine). Thanks.
