Covered in tourists
Its quite tucked away, so would be hard to find if it were not for the crowds of tourists trampling on it. Go and see Oscar Wilde's instead.

Funny you should mention Oscar Wilde as an alternative -- I took an orange rose to put on Morrison's grave and changed my mind and laid it before Wilde's beautiful art nouveau angel.
