Heading home on Saturday I had to stop at the soccer pitch in Tungelsta. There was a circus in town. Cirkus Wictoria, one of only five circus groups that still tour around the country was preparing a show. My eyes were drawn to the group of camels that were resting near the big circus tent. I think that these animals belong to a woman called Jessica Bengtsson. She comes from a big circus family. I didn't see the show. When my family still owned the greenhouses at Bergdalen we were sometimes asked if it would be OK if the circus elephants could rest on a big grassy area that we owned.
Haha! my but what big teeth they have!! Love camel faces with their long eyelashes, fab pictures Steffe.
ReplyDeleteCamels, in Sweden? What do they do with them in the winter? Really attention-getting shots.
ReplyDeletememe remarque que l'ami Bob ;)
ReplyDeleteUnusual, a camel in a city setting.
ReplyDeleteHow thrilling that must have been to have elephants lounging on the lawn of your family home. When the image came through in thumb nail I thought I was looking at the blog from Cairo.
ReplyDeleteNot something you come across every day!
ReplyDeleteNow this is something you don't see every day!
ReplyDeleteCamels in Sweden? Luckily it is only a circus!
ReplyDeleteHere in North America, I don't think any circuses use animals anymore - at least not large ones. It's seen as cruel for animals.
ReplyDeleteThe trend is for more Cirque de Soleil-style events that feature human performance which I find more entertaining anyway than the 'bears on a bike' thing.
It is the same here these days. I don't know what the law says, but most animals are gone from the circuses. But I did get a shot a few years ago of Llama on the run!
