Blarney Castle

Posted by
ursulakatariina (Turku, Finland) on 30 September 2012 in Architecture and Portfolio.

We also visited the Blarney Castle and I kissed the Blarney Stone. It is a little wonder I did it with my fear of bacteria, but I did kiss the stone and now I should have the gift of the gab.

Hyper imagination could be led to believe that a dragon would be historic in that warming Poor old little princess sometimes mysterious history.

Very nice view of the castle, a beautiful framing and a great place. I did not know the tradition of kissing the stone.
Good Sunday.

So, is the stone the thing sticking out of the second floor window?

30 Sep 2012 9:27am

@CElliottUK: I was waiting for this comment :D
The white thing on the second floor window that I was too lazy to try to clone off the picture is a piece of modern technology and the stone is in another part of the castle and much higher. :D

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom

Nice shot of the old place, you now have the "Blarney" :-)

Good day for both you, my love!

@Oiva: It is a mystery to me how on earth I could do it... I'm still quite worried about my lips - I hope they wont fall from my face... :)

Have a nice evening.
