Lion and tiger cage wagon. Photo taken during parade. Notice the man on the horse. He is known as an out rider. These men were the eyes and ears of the circus parade. They made sure that all went well. Please read the great comment Bob Cline made.Thanks.

The name of this wagon is The Snake Den. When I blow up these photos in my photo shop and actually witness the expressions of the people. They all stand in awe, fear and wonderment. Many of the photos I have made into 8 by 10’s
