For this weeks theme I thought I'd revisit my photos of some spectacular circus skills that I was lucky enough to enjoy earlier this year. I'm a big fan of circus and its talented and dedicated performers. Fire skills are particularly mesmerising to watch. For those that don't know this involves your usual circus skills like juggling clubs, swinging poi in beautiful patterns, hula hooping - but with the items specially adapted so that you can actually set them alight before doing your tricks. It is awesome to behold.
Spell-binding Fire Poi
These photos were all taken from quite a distance in the dark but I hope they give you a taste of the wonderful display we enjoyed that night. I used my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 - just hand held on an automatic night theme setting. It captured some good memories.
