If there were an award for the best circus photograph of the year it would definitely go to this shot of
Nell Gifford sitting side-saddle on a rearing horse in the May 21 edition of the
Daily Telegraph. Circus has never looked more cool!
Take a look at this fantastic shot and
Patricia Carswell’s excellent feature on
Gifford’s Circus production of
War and Peace at the
Hay Literary Festival by clicking
here.
My thanks, too, to Patricia for quoting me and mentioning
Circus Mania! within the piece.
