... As last one a gorgeous aerial view... so many different shades of vivid green... just the way as I imagine this ☘️Emerald☘️ Isle would look like... a medieval stronghold overlooking the impressive gardens... a landmark and one of Ireland’s prettiest castles... home to the famous Blarney Stone... every year thousands of visitors from all over the world visit Blarney Castle to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone and tour the castle and its grounds.... according to legend, whoever kisses the Blarney Stone receive the gift of eloquence and persuasiveness.... the popularity of this stone is about 200 years old, and on it have already placed their lips several heads of state, big names of literature and actors... you climb the 100 steps that take you to the top of the tower, where’s the main reason why so many make this pilgrimage... Big Thanks dear Andrene!❤️ I loved them all!❤️ And I understand why you this time didn't kiss the stone after seeing some pictures people doing it... 😉😅
