Circus! - the Tightrope Walkers


The tightrope walkers were magical - and scary. These two are part of the German 'Famille Weisheit' who have been in circus for 100 years. They were awarded a Special Mention by the Jury at this year's Festival.

  3. I guess you do not need handlebars on a bicycle if you are going to ride on a high wire.

  6. Scary is right! The compressed tele perspective makes it look like his balance pole might get stuck among the guy wires.
    Gorgeous, and their skill is evident!

    I do wonder how Glenda can "watch" with her eyes closed -:)))

  7. Oh Jilly,
    I'm so busy getting ready for another show. I just had a look at your fabulous circus shots. How on earth do you get the clarity and color and sharpness???
