An Irish Bog
Walking towards Blarney Castle ( to see the famous "Blarney stone" !), near Cork, Ireland, I came across this little stream and the reflections of the bare, winter trees in the water.
The "Blarney Stone" is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney about 8 km from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the Stone and tour the castle and its charming gardens.
The word blarney has come to mean clever, flattering, or coaxing talk.
