Archbishop Plunket MemorialMonument · 3 ydExplorer Tom Archbishop Plunket Memorial in Kildare Place is a bronze statue on a stone plinth. It’s got lion head waterspouts that are definitely not for water. Wave to the archbishop; he’s probably thinking deeply about something boring!

CrossCross, High cross (present location) · 54 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Cross. This shaft from Banagher was moved to Clonmacnoise, then to Dublin, where it is now on display.

Bigleaf Maple535 ydExplorer Tom Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin has massive leaves that look like they’re trying to hug the whole sky. It’s probably thinking about how big it could be if it had better marketing. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about why trees don’t talk.
