Blarney Castle, Ireland
This is the view from across the river, or creek, that bisects the complex. Named for Lord Blarney, the term "blarney" means "smooth, flattering talk" or "deceptive nonsense"- the eloquence I was talking about. Lord Blarney was able to say so much and mean so little when negotiating with Elizabeth I that she coined the term out of frustration.
