Who remembers the old song, https://tinyurl.com/7pactxb4 ? Now it's definitely not just men, as seen yesterday. The whole Wallenda family participates. Mrs. C was so impressed with them that she was talking about going back to see the show again. It only runs for nine more days so I don't think we will have time.
The Flying Wallendas are American circus royalty. https://wallenda.com/ They appear at Circus Flora every year, and every year they amaze. I edited a bunch of pictures of them yesterday and had to decide on one for today, so there may be more to come.The pater familias, Tino, must be in his 70s, and he was up there. Eight year old Matteo is learning high wire balancing skills, which he demonstrated a meter off the ground. Stay tuned.
For our international friends. OSHA is the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the agency responsible for worker safety standards.
A staple of Circus Flora is the performance by the renowned acrobatic family, the Flying Wallendas, three generations of high wire artists. Tino is the patriarch, possibly as old as me. Son Alex, in this shot, has grandson Matteo strapped tightly to his shoulders. But they are probably 10 meters off the ground with no net. The family does this day after day, but should the authorities be concerned?
