What a cool event to be part of earlier today forming a human version of the ancient art at carrowkeel. Also a few moments of appreciating the Sligo skyline from the stretch to coney island with beautiful landscape 360°. Well done to the organisers for pulling it off. Can't wait to see the aerial shots!
