The day the circus arrived in town....

Spotted this on the morning excusursion before the rain hit.  



Taken with the Mini 3 Pro.

Splendid capture DA.    Looks like lots of electrical cords running from vehicle to vehicle.  

The Show is about to begin..  Great shot!

Oh yes,  Mini3 went in high,  dropped down just long enough to frame the shot and then I was gone.

Seemed like a good plan,  they are the last people to p off.    I hid behind a bush too just in case.

You're welcome!

With a pre-planned escape route too, no doubt   
The SAS may have a job for you

Perfect forward planning

Interesting shot. The BW makes it nicely retro.

I guess I was just a bit curious and zoomed in.

Got to have something to draw in the people and a flashing sign should help with that.  Does the circus stay in town for long?

That seems to be the norm when they come to town here.  They tend to show up on Wednesday to set up and run Thursday - Sunday and then pack up and  move on Monday.  I usually only hear about a circus in town here every 12-18 months though now.  It used to be one about every 6 months but the COVID shutdown changed everything.

I hadnt seen any advertising for it at all,  pure fluke that I saw it on a scouting flight.

Cheers Bussty,   Im using B&W to get around the exclusive clause on the stock library I use,   In my mind this makes it a different image.

Just another good reason to do plenty of "scouting".  Never no what you might run across.

Yesterday I found a big 100 year celebration that was unexpected.

I saw the shots of the centenary celebration.  So that was another interesting find while out "scouting".

Yes,  although they forgot to lower their ensign to half staff for the party,  the following day though it had been done.

Hopefully, it was a memory lapse and not a sign of disrespect towards the Queen's passing.

Im sure thats all it was,  they had a lot to organise over there and it could have easily slipped their mind.

No doubt about lots to organize.  Good to see that a few circus are still around these days.  I've seen a few carnivals come through but been a couple of years since a real circus came through town.

There was a much bigger circus down the road the other week,  they had a proper tent.
