Nathan,
There were a couple of tourists sitting on the bench and I asked if they 
could let me take a picture of the inscription - explaining that Doug 
had been my friend to ensure that they didn't think I wasn't just some 
camera toting oddity that gets his jollies by hassling people off 
benches. The daughter then sat on her father's knee to give that odd 
juxtaposition. I could have cropped it, but the momentary disconnect 
when one looks at it first, appealed to me.

We were both in Bordeaux wine club and he waxed lyrically about Leica lenses and cameras over many a good glass of decent claret. The seat is just outside the library which houses the Book of Kells and I always sit on it briefly whenever I pass by. BTW, that's the bench - not the Book of Kells...
