one side's hate and one is hope
but the tophat on my head is all you see"
For this week we pay homage to those daring aerial acrobats who perform death-defying feats, suspended by nothing but a rope and a prayer.
So forget the safety net, take a leap of faith and post a cover featuring a tightrope, high wire, or trapeze.
Since we've had the "circus" topic before, entries are NOT limited to circus settings (though they are allowable), but can be any virtually any setting indoors or outdoors, as long as the tightrope or trapeze is clearly visible. Characters may be walking or cycling on the wire, falling, or even hanging from it, or swinging to or from a trapeze.
