| Blarney Manor House, Cork County, Ireland |
This eerie tree is/was near the Blarney Castle, Co. Cork, Ireland. The house in the background is Blarney Manor House, owned and occupied by the Lord of Blarney and his family.
In a land that is so very green that it sometimes overwhelms the senses, this tree is starkly void of leaves and seemingly of life.

Looks like something out of a horror film
ReplyDeleteYes, it sure does! That is why it is so interesting. Even the lower growth is gnarled.
DeleteEerie but inviting

DeleteDear Susan, I'm wondering how the word "blarney" and "kissing the blarney stone" are connected to this eerie dwelling and its surroundings. Peace.
ReplyDeleteThis tree and the manor house in the back are on the Blarney Castle grounds. The current Lord of Blarney occupied the house when this photo was taken.
DeleteLOLOLOL on your girl with horse story! That was great.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, what a photo. I'm tempted to take part seeing that! If I had more time. :) Doh! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
If anything pops up in your creative brain, write it!!
DeleteI think I used to draw that the when I was a little girl.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure this photo was taken in Ireland? I think it is a time warp from Transilvania...
