Acrobats

 We went to an acrobat show.  It was dazzling.  Because of the darkness and the fast movement, I tried only a few iPhone photographs.  They barely scratch the surface of the talent of the acrobats. 

A man on a trapeze performed many moves with a woman before lowering her into the water.  She swam for a bit, then he picked her up and they continued the performance together.

A dancer performed at first with two white birds.  By the end she had eight birds .

Capturing the action was too blurry, but their final line-up is clear enough to show.

Two acrobats balanced and performed a variety of leaps on flexible boards, each held by a pair of big men.  In this image, one of the acrobats was propelled into the air from one board, where he completed a forward roll before successfully landing on the other board.

Six acrobats rolled and threw rings and dived through them in increasingly difficult maneuvers.  

Those images were blurred by the fast action, so I am showing their stances as they took applause.

Thank you.  Great show.
