WHAT goes up and up and up and stays there for ages before coming down again?

Irish Horse World’s intrepid photojournalist Susan Finnerty could not resist climbing all the steps in the tower in St John’s Church to get this great bird’s eye view of the Ballinasloe Fair in full flight.

Such was the heady climb that Susan had to stay up there for a while before making her way back down to earth.

Many thanks Susan for capturing this rare view – this picture certainly paints a thousand words!
