Saturday, April 18, 2009

Ringling 100-81, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

"Elephant Fandango" presented by Capt. Hugo Schmitt. (Now THAT is an elephant act!)

Buckles said...: "Axel Gautier and "Targa" in the foreground. One lady rides while a second is carried in a hoop.
This is obviously during the prelude to the entrance of the three rings of performing elephants."
