A very old, lone oak, dripping in epiphytes, overhangs a river in Killarney NP.

A couple are talking in a book-filled room. She has a speech bubble reading “I have an idea: let’s make a pact that neither of us will buy another book until we’ve read a few more of the ones that we already own. The books are taking over!”. He replies “I hear what you’re saying.” But we can see his thought bubble which overlaps her speech bubble in such a way that it highlights the words “Let’s buy more books”.
