PhotoPrompt: Blarney Manor House and Tree

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.

Using this photo as inspiration, write anything you wish—prose, poetry, flash fiction—anything.  Link it back to this site.  On the right sidebar are frequent participants in Monday PhotoPrompt writing; click on those and see what other inspirations you might find.

PhotoPrompt #7: The Wedding

At Hotel Vienna Woods, County Cork, Ireland

This was a small wedding in Hotel Vienna Woods, around mid-summer 1987.  I remember it clearly.  What do you see in this photo taken in an old manor house, built in 1769?  Where is the wedding party?  What is the story that surrounds this event?

This is week #7 of Monday PhotoPrompt!  I hope that you will take a chance and write some reaction to this photo.  It can be free verse, prose, a flash fiction, a poem—whatever hits you when you see this photo.  Do not hesitate!  Do it now!  Please?
