Der Sage nach wird jeder, der diesen &quot;Stein der Redegewandtheit&quot; (&quot;Stone of Eloquence&quot;) küsste, für den Rest seines Lebens immer zur richtigen Zeit die richtigen Wort finden, um damit seine persönlichen Erfolge zu befeuern. Da sich der Stein an der Aussenmauer der Burg direkt unterhalb der Zinnen befindet, muss man sich nach aussen kopfüber weit hinunterstrecken, um den Stein mit dem Mund zu erreichen. Dafür braucht und erhält man Hilfe in der Form, dass man von den Helfern an den Unterschenkeln festgehalten wird. Was früher reichen musste, wird nun zur Sicherheit durch ein schwarzes Metallgestell erleichtert, an dem man sich festhalten kann. Abenteuerlich bleibt jede solche Aktion trotzdem. Doch man benötigt nicht mehr so viel Mut dafür wie früher. Für Redegewandtheit muss man eben was tun und sich überwinden ...<br /> <br /> In this castle, located slightly northwest of the city of Cork, the world-famous ‘Blarney Stone’ is embedded in the wall just below the battlements. According to legend, anyone who kisses this ‘Stone of Eloquence’ will always find the right words at the right time for the rest of their life, thereby fuelling their personal success. As the stone is located on the outer wall of the castle directly below the battlements, you have to lean out headfirst and stretch far down to reach the stone with your mouth. To do this, you need and receive help in the form of assistants holding your lower legs. What used to be enough is now made easier for safety reasons by a black metal frame that you can hold on to. Nevertheless, every such action remains adventurous. But you no longer need as much courage as you used to. To become eloquent, you have to do something and overcome your fears ...</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/rudi_valtiner/">rudi_valtiner</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/rudi_valtiner/54935826160/" title="Blarney Castle &amp; Gardens (IRE)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54935826160_e3cb75cfa5_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Blarney Castle &amp; Gardens (IRE)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ursula_valtiner/">ursula.valtiner</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ursula_valtiner/54923020243/" title="Vogelkopf in den Gärten von Blarney Castle / Bird’s head in the gardens of Blarney Castle"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54923020243_db6c5d309d_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Vogelkopf in den Gärten von Blarney Castle / Bird’s head in the gardens of Blarney Castle" /></a></p> <p>In den Gärten von Blarney Castle gab es viel Ungewöhnliches zu sehen. Dieser Vogelkopf gehörte eigentlich nicht dazu, aber für mich war er unübersehbar !<br /> <br /> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /> There were many unusual things to see in the gardens of Blarney Castle. This bird's head wasn't actually one of them, but for me it was impossible to miss !</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ursula_valtiner/">ursula.valtiner</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ursula_valtiner/54923123470/" title="Luis und Bärbel verreisen ✈️ / Luis and Bärbel go on holiday ✈️"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54923123470_31b1151021_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Luis und Bärbel verreisen ✈️ / Luis and Bärbel go on holiday ✈️" /></a></p> <p>Unser nächstes Ziel waren Blarney Castle mit seinen verzaubernden Gartenanlage.

Die hat aber eine große Nase!”<br /> <br /> BÄRBEL: “Ob ich die mal angreifen darf … ?”<br /> <br /> LUIS: “Vorsicht Bärbel ! Nicht dass sie niesen muss und dich verhext und dir auch so eine Nase wächst.”<br /> <br /> BÄRBEL:”Oh nein, dann lieber nicht !”😳<br /> <br /> KLEINE HEXE: “Die zwei sind ja ulkig, die haben meine Nase noch nicht gesehen, hihihi !”😂<br /> Fortsetzung folgt …<br /> <br /> <br /> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /> Our next stop was Blarney Castle with its enchanting gardens. <br /> Luis, Bärbel and Sweety have arrived at the Witch's Stone.<br /> <br /> LUIS: ‘Bärbel, look, there's a witch. What a big nose she has!’<br /> <br /> BÄRBEL: ‘Can I touch her...?’<br /> <br /> LUIS: ‘Be careful, Bärbel! She might sneeze and cast a spell on you, and then you'll grow a nose like hers.’<br /> <br /> BÄRBEL: ‘Oh no, better not then!’😳<br /> <br /> LITTLE WITCH: ‘Those two are quirky, they haven't seen my nose yet, hihihi!’😂<br /> To be continued ...</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ursula_valtiner/">ursula.valtiner</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ursula_valtiner/54923018153/" title="Blarney Castle, Irland / Blarney Castle, Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54923018153_c4b5aceb37_m.jpg" width="240" height="187" alt="Blarney Castle, Irland / Blarney Castle, Ireland" /></a></p> <p>Blarney Castle befindet sich nordöstlich der Stadt Cork. Der Hauptturm der mittelalterlichen Burg ist noch erhalten (Bild rechts oben und rechts Mitte). In diesem befindet sich auch der berühmte Blarney Stone, der noch eine eigene Collage von mir bekommt. In den Gärten gab es viel zu entdecken, wie verschiedene Skulpturen, den Giftgarten, den Druiden Kreis, die Hexenhöhle, die Wunschtreppe und einiges mehr.<br /> <br /> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /> Blarney Castle is located northeast of Cork City. The main tower of the medieval castle is still standing (top right and centre right pictures). It also includes the famous Blarney Stone, which will get its own collage from me. There was a lot to discover in the gardens, such as various sculptures, the Poison Garden, the Druid Circle, the Witch's Cave, the Wishing Steps and much more.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bubblesandsons/">Michael P Bartlett</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblesandsons/54809041797/" title="Blarney Castle,Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54809041797_ce8b5ec372_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Blarney Castle,Ireland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bubblesandsons/">Michael P Bartlett</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblesandsons/54809882001/" title="Blarney Castle,Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54809882001_7a8812c706_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Blarney Castle,Ireland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bubblesandsons/">Michael P Bartlett</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblesandsons/54809881626/" title="Blarney Castle,Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54809881626_2f7eff3d12_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Blarney Castle,Ireland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bubblesandsons/">Michael P Bartlett</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblesandsons/54809881936/" title="Blarney Castle,Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54809881936_3e3aff2446_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Blarney Castle,Ireland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bubblesandsons/">Michael P Bartlett</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblesandsons/54809041462/" title="Blarney Castle,Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54809041462_1612b4c403_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Blarney Castle,Ireland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bubblesandsons/">Michael P Bartlett</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblesandsons/54809041757/" title="Blarney Castle,Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54809041757_80598128b4_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Blarney Castle,Ireland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bubblesandsons/">Michael P Bartlett</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblesandsons/54809041867/" title="Blarney Castle,Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54809041867_eaffb8efb1_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Blarney Castle,Ireland" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/captainmartini/">Captain Martini</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/captainmartini/54786534430/" title="Blarney Castle, Ireland -
