Hey Ronan, this is really brilliant! I've spent a lot of life/career trying to understand the solstice phenomena at passage tombs like Newgrange adn elsewhere and I just think this project is so fitting. I find myself going back to watch this vid over and over, Keep on keeping on man, great work.

@eofios

thanks, very glad you like it enough for repeat viewing

[MrRonanCoyle]

If it happens again I'll do an earlier posting of the event. this one was very last minute.

thanks for all the positivity!

[MrRonanCoyle]

Wow, lovely encouragement from everyone, thanks!

I'll try and be better at publicising if I do another.

Hi ebairead, the project was a bit last minutey but I got in touch with as mouch Earleys as I could, no one was 100% sure who designed that actual window, Any ideas?

[MrRonanCoyle]

thanks everyone. I'm prtetty sure it's protected, there's a new roof on the building and all

Very Cool, Great stuff Ronan. Your madness never ceases to amaze me ;)

What a marvellous project - congrats! Wonderful to see the historic buildings of the city being showcased in this innovative way. Hard to believe these have been Protected Structures for the past twelve years, given the appalling state they have been left in over that time by their owners, not to mention the poor redevelopments proposed for them over the years.

@MrRonanCoyle Jesus, go back and do it again, I'm not sure quite how you did it but it is simply wonderful, with the emphasis on simply!! If I knew it was to be done again, I would travel over and beyond the imaginations limitations!!

Hi Ronan,

Great idea and really nice video. What track is this that's playing in the background. I know it's Sean Carpio but what's the name of the song/album?

Nice work again, man.
