ch005, a photo by bucklesw1 on Flickr. This photo of the blessing of the Ringling Circus train was taken from the movie "the Greatest Show on Earth" which was produced by Cecil B. de Mille in the 1960's. I watched it last night because buckle's in his web site had poster on the movie "The Greatest Show on Earth" that was done in Sarasota, Florida. I was deeply impressed with the productiion, the circus was immense to say the least. The train, the animals, more than 15 elephants, The "big Top" was tremendous and the worked involved in setting it up, the sideshow, cookhouse, menargerie and so on. Just amazing to say were my feelings last night. Fortunately We have other circus under the tent, Circus Sarasota, Carson and Barnes, Cole Bros and so many more that travel from day by day to bring enjoyment to children of all ages. I am indeep appreciation to each one of yopu who are involved in Circus, Carnival ewtc. Also to all the work, traveliing involved as well. Life is not easy but seeing a smile on a child's face is important as well as the applause and so on. I am happy to know so many of you and I give thanks as I celebrate my 75th birthday tomorrow, Monday March 5th. here in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
