The Circus comes to town

The Circus comes to town
Alexandra Park Oldham in June. The circus comes to town for a week of performances. This, for me is simply a chance sighting and I saw nothing of the artist or visitors in these days where Covid still dictates our days out. Fortunately though I saw a father buying tickets for his eager children from the box-office.
Enjoy full screen.

A beautifully framed shot Herb. Let's hope that next year we will feel more confident in crowds! My daughter has Covid now, and no one could be more careful than her, especially as she works for NHS. Take care and have a good day ~ Rosa.

Ah yes, as we go around nowadays we find ourselves in a scary mixed up situation. My brother has just returned from a week's luxury cruise along the south and west of England to Scotland. Both he and his wife both being 'vulnerable' had their jabs early. They have both caught Covid on the ship. Now my brother is quite ill but slowly getting better (not had to be hospitalised, thank goodness). So when we are near other people, even older ones, we cannot guarantee not having the virus passed on to us. A far cry from our grand hopes when we first had those jabs. We try to play safe but - we cannot simply isolate forever.
Glad you liked this. take care.

Good to see you again Judite. Yes, it was a shame though that I showed such a thing as a circus, so peacefully.

Keep safe. Herb

A nicely composed image Herb............the Big Top stands out beautifully..!!

I don't blame you for still being careful. Jackie and I visited a National Trust property today, but didn't go inside the house because there were too many people about and despite requests to do so, not everyone was wearing a mask indoors.

You sound like we too feel Keith. See my reply to Rosa above.

Following some comments Herb- Unfortunately while on Chemotherapy I have to avoid everyone and everything but perhaps one day I will get to see the big top again.

Good to see you Maurice. Hope that things are progressing nicely with your Chemo. Yes, one day perhaps, thing will be Really Normal not this pretend normal. My brother now had C19 and he is quite ill but not needed hospitalization -contacted on a luxury cruise.

Keep safe. Herb

This was half-way there Marta. The big top and no doubt the performances too but deserted during the day.

Keep safe. Herb
