Not Gollums Cave!

I am pretty sure that this, our first look at the One Ring is not shot from within Gollum's cave, deep within the Misty Mountains.

At first glance I thought that this clip might be from the iconic moment when Bilbo first finds the Ring, however at closer examination, it's obvious this could not be the Goblin Tunnels deep under the Misty Mountains.  For one, the Ring appears to be sitting on a forest floor... sitting on leaves and bracken.

Secondly, in the background Bilbo seems yp be surrounded by trees covered in cobwebs. I think this is the moment in The Hobbit, when Bilbo discovers the Dwarves captured by the Spiders in Mirkwood. Why the Ring in on the ground so far from Bilbo is a mystery... it does not play in directly to the scene from the books.

Perhaps Peter Jackson is taking the opportunity in this scene to give us and Bilbo more insight into the One Ring of power. I suppose we will just have to see!

Here, I included a clip of Gollum's and Blbo's first encounter by the small pool deep in the misty Mountains... this looks very different form the shot above and confirms my thinking.What do you think?
