Circus Fence

Well what do you know?  I found the home of the Circus out in the country!  That's what I love about my barn hunts.  I never know what I'm going to find, but I know it will be cool!
I found the home of the George Carden Circus!  They travel all over the world putting on shows!  The compound is quite impressive.  My photo's aren't doing justice.  It looks like a huge ranch with several large buildings.  The fence is unique and goes on forever.  I was pretty shocked when I found this out in the country.  Another wonderful surprise!

Linking to Friday Fences!

That is just so funny Jori.
I love the fence with the animals on it...pretty unique and very expensive...I would like that huge elephant for my backyard...wouldn't he draw attention looking over the wood fence...when Richard had back surgery his pick up had a flat on the front passenger side...we didn't even know it was flat...the city cited us "for having a vehicle in our drive way with a flat tire"...They think this is Manhattan.
Have a wonderful Friday.
Thank you for bringing the circus to us today.
hugs

a most unique fence!

we used to have a traveling circus in our area. they had camels, horses, and 3 elephants you could catch outside sometimes.

When Lissie was little, she would go visit her grandmother who lived in a tiny little community in the back of beyond in FL. It turns out that little hole was the winter home to a bunch of traveling carnies! She would watch them practice their tricks--sword swallowing, fire eating, etc.--and said it was the most amazing experience.

Your find is too wonderful!
