【UK】Woburn, Bedfordshire: St. Mary's Church
Distance: 9,834 km (6,111 miles)
Travel time: 14 days
Came from Woburn, a small town in UK. Many place names in the United States were originated in the UK. There is also Woburn in Massachusetts, just to let you know. Woburn is in Bedfordshire. It is a very small country, in which the total population is less than a thousand. And it's a very old town. Baie is a foreigner living there and she told me that Woburn is a beautiful place where life is tranquil. They have wild deer, a safari park, and a St. Mary's Church.

Drawn by an Austrian artist, Koloman Moser, in 1899. Moser is considered to be one of the very important members in the Vienna Secession and he is also a very talented artist.
