Carnival, wrestling bear, all alive... Life's canvas is the richest painting of them all.

Another worthy photos for re-print and for people that love Tatoos or Carnival art this would be collectable.

This was a "Continuous" show. You paid your nickel and entered; when you'd seen all the acts, you left. The brown pelican has its own perch, so it certainly traveled with the show. I don't see any chain on the leg, so it was probably a pet bird rather than a captured bird.

Look at those Colorado ski slopes! This photograph is so beautiful because of all the color. Even though it was a cloudy day and it looks like it's about to rain, the photographer managed to capture such a great photograph.

When a kid I ran away from home because of my wicked stepmom and was given sanctuary with a carnival sideshow. I traveled with them all summer and they were the best family I ever had. However, the carny boss put pressure on me to contact my Dad about a week before school started. Dad was told the skivvy and life was way better once I got home. I cried because I did not want to go home. That is how great these folks were. It was probably, the best summer of my life.
