High Flyers

Aerialists, World Buskers Festival, Christchurch. Jan. 2009. Ajr

It was hotter than HOT in Victoria Square this afternoon but I suffered through it to get photographs of these terrific aerialists - one of the acts in the 2009 World Buskers Festival. I love the way these high flying girls - by virtue of my camera perspective - seem to be swinging high above the city, level with the highrise....and even better that, at least 30-40 feet in the air, they had time to check their make-up! www.worldbuskersfestival.com

Busking Bedlam

Cathedral Square, Christchurch. Jan. 2009. Ajr

The city has been overrun by clowns, comics and contortionists!

The 2009 World Buskers' Festival is up and running and people are crowding into city parks and squares to watch an assortment of the weird and wonderful. I wandered about this morning - before it became impossibly HOT - and watched Clown Lotto from Japan and Miss Saturn from Who-Knows-Where.....Saturn probably...she was mad and colourful enough and she certainly had plenty of rings! I was surprised by just how many were out and about - it's great to see the festival getting so much crowd support. www.worldbuskersfestival.com
