#1 - Acrobatic coolness
#2 - Really cool

#1 - No way did this look like a good idea to me, but they survived
#2 - The happy attendees, from near to far, Leslie, Jai, Ana, Colin, Clifton, Selene (Kaleigh was in the john, I was taking the pic).

Finally, Selene and Ana display the hats that allow the circus to sell cotton candy for $7.00 a bag...

Hope you enjoyed the circus!

I agree, that's the first thing I ever saw in the circus that literally had me on the edge of my seat.

I must say your photography is excellent!
As each post went up, I waited to comment, not wanting to interrupt what I was hoping would be a series. You didn't disappoint... thank you.

It was the one thing where there was absolutely no protection in case of fall...no way to do it, as far as I could see. If one stumbles while atop one of those cages, one is going to be flung and squished.

I really had my doubts about how they'd come out. My camera is a very poor performer in low light (as evidenced by the lack of crystal sharp focus in some of the shots), but overall, I was really pleased with how they came out. I may try to do some of the video I shot as well and post it later on.
