May 21, 2017 was a sad day for me personally! It was the last day of "The Greatest Show On Earth"!! I loved going to the circus and seeing all of the performers doing amazing acts! Spotting these circus wagons and carts brought back all my memories of going to see the shows! Getting to visit the Florida railroad museum's back lot gave me the opportunity to see these old trailers. After 146 years it all ends here! I added a painterly texture to this photo.

Marvin, circuses are not at all a natural subject for me to be drawn into and it is not appropriate here to explain why. I can tell you though, that your brilliant image both entrants and teaches me. All opinions dissolve as I just vastly appreciate the beauty of these vans in the almost mystical light. It tells a story of how life became enchanted for a while to those who loved the show and is now quietly moving on to a new day some place else. Brilliance dear Marvin , each time! L/F

Marvin, this is a gem! I love the subject, the painterly texture, and the depiction of nostalgia in such a fabulous work! l/f
