Golden Castle Ruin 

Dr Abe V Rotor

“All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien

Golden Castle Ruins in the Sea, art work by the author, made of driftwood treated with latex emulsion, waterproof plastic glue, cured, and sprayed in layers with  gold paint. This art work may serve as a corner or top table figurine, or mounted with a painting background appropriate to its theme as shown in this photo.

   Gold is the most precious possession, my friend,

but how come it simply turns into a ruin at the end?

"Midas, they say, possessed the art of old; Of turning whatsoe'er he touch'd to gold; This modern statesmen can reverse with ease - Touch them with gold, they'll turn to what you please." - John Wolcot

* Golden Castle Ruins can refer to several places, most prominently the Eternal Golden Castle (Anping Fort) in Tainan, Taiwan, a historic fort with park-like grounds, and the Golden Castle tower ruins in Golden, County Tipperary, Ireland, a medieval structure by the River Suir. Other mentions include ruins bathed in "golden hour" sunlight, or castles with golden detailing like Osaka Castle in Japan, but the specific "ruins" are usually the Irish tower or the Taiwanese fort.
