The Greatest Show on Earth...

I am a sucker for all things surreal and sinister when it comes to the circus and fairgrounds. None of this tame, fun family-friendly variety for me I'm afraid. So I love it when photographers pick this theme - recreating a long-lost tradition of entertainment laced with danger and deception...

These are some amazing shots I found on my interweb travels. These are right up there with the Mad-Hatter's tea party theme doing the rounds. Just think Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp's collaborative work and you're on my wavelength ;-)

Oh! Adore the the wildly black-hatted lady
and the intriguing fairy on the ballon.
What an extraordinary blog.
The sinister and the surreal, Oh yes!
That's why I'm addicted to Coney Island
at night. What a feast for the senses.

I love Tim Burton and his style. I'm so looking forward to see Coraline and Alice in Wonderland!
