ITEM: Picture
NOTES: Glendalough is a glacial valley in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is known for an Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. Depicted is the 33m “Round Tower”. It was built almost 1000 years ago by the monks of St. Kevin’s monastery. I like saying St Kevin …. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glendalough
The 3D box art-ish nature of the picture is great also.

PLACE REPRESENTED: Brisbane, Queensland , Australia
ITEM: Wall Ornament
NOTES: A simple photo in a frame of a Brisbane long gone. Shown is the Victoria bridge (the fourth bridge which entered service in 1897, lasting until 1969, when it was demolished (In typical Brisbane fashion which is second only to Las Vegas in tearing or modernising anything old .. old being anything over 10 years). All that remains is he abutment at one end. Which has a quite fascinating (local) story. the William Jolly Bridge is in the background and (somehow) is still standing and in use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Bridge_Abutment

NOTES: A nice bit of rustic kitsch. A wooden panel with a picture of Oahu beach with liberal lacquer applied. It certainly looks water proof – I reckon it would float in the tub.
