The circus is in town!
I’ve never been to a circus before because of logistics reason , too far out , parking nightmare etc etc but this one is conveniently nestled in the suburb I live in and within a mile radius from my home. I could jog there and not break a sweat. 😀
Unfortunately, they didn’t allow pics taken during the show. This is the only one I got before the show.
The opening act was of lions – presumably the ‘stars’ of the show judging from how much mention they got in the local newspaper – they turned out to be two docile looking lionnesses. The duo didn’t even roar like what you’d expect from the ones you see on tv. They didn’t do many tricks either. Just walked on planks and smiled a bit. Less stress for them!
There were clowns, jugglers, acrobats, flying trapeze etc etc, stuff you’d expect from a circus. And the ring master was quite engaging with the audience especially at times when the circus crew had to shift and move things – as a form of distraction. But it was fascinating to see how quick they set things up for each segment of the show. Really efficient!
Anyway, here are some shots taken outside the circus tent.
A big blown up slide to keep kids occupied while parents buy tickets etc.
Games to keep kids and err.. parents occupied…
The front entrance to the circus.
Circus trailers to transport stuff from one location to another I guess.
And people queueing up for the next show.

Great shots! Haven’t been to a circus in years, so this was fun!
Very colourful shots. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you got along to one at least once in a life-time!
Congrats on going to the circus. Too bad you couldn’t take pics inside. Used to go to the Shriner’s Circus when I was a kid and haven’t been to one since.
Thanks for the comments. The circus was great and enjoyable and I wouldn’t mind going again!
always enjoyed the circus… makes me feel like a ‘kid’ again… 😉
