Clowns are comic performers who employ slapstick or similar types of physical humour, often in a mime style.
Clowns have a varied tradition with significant variations in costume and performance. The most recognisable modern clown character is theAuguste or "red clown" type, with outlandish costumes featuring distinctive makeup, colourful wigs, exaggerated footwear, and colourful clothing. Their entertainment style is generally designed to entertain large audiences, especially at a distance.
Modern clowns are strongly associated with the tradition of the circus clown, which developed out of earlier comedic roles in theatre or Varietéshows during 19th to mid 20th century.
Many circus clowns have become well known and are a key circus act in their own right. The first mainstream clown role was portrayed byJoseph Grimaldi (who also created the traditional whiteface make-up design). In the early 1800s, he expanded the role of Clown in theharlequinade that formed part of British pantomimes, notably at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and the Sadler's Wells and Covent Gardentheatres. He became so dominant on the London comic stage that harlequinade Clowns became known as "Joey", and both the nickname and Grimaldi's whiteface make-up design were, and still are, used by other types of clowns.
The comedy that clowns perform is usually in the role of a fool whose everyday actions and tasks become extraordinary—and for whom the ridiculous, for a short while, becomes ordinary. This style of comedy has a long history in many countries and cultures across the world. Some writers have argued that due to the widespread use of such comedy and its long history it is a need that is part of the human condition.
The "fear of clowns", circus clowns in particular as a psychiatric condition has become known by the term coulrophobia

This old oil mill is located near the village of Niedermennig, about five kilometers south of the city of Trier. The mill was built 1849 and was in operation until 1942. After restoring it was put back into operation in 1949 and finally decommissioned in 1967. The main items milled were rapeseed and beechnuts. Since the beginning of the 1990s the mill has been restored and fitted with a new millwheel, thereby returning to its original condition.

In un quartiere moderno . Che silenzio! Un silenzio quasi assordante! Poi d'improvviso spezzato dalla sua voce ...

Former Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant located at 303 E Oglethorpe Ave. in Albany,GA. The motor lodge is currently operating under the name Budget Inn. The HJ Restaurant closed by the late 1970s and was subsequently converted into a Chinese Restaurant which closed in 2003. The (former) restaurant was demolished in 2004 and a Family Dollar was built on the site. The motor lodge is in very poor condition and one of the three wings of rooms looked to be unused. The "ranch style" lobby still retains its original exterior form although at some point the owners decided to put paneling over the windows that graced the facade of the structure.
Stepped up the hill a little bit to get this curvy section of trail in frame. I just love days like this in the woods. Snowshoe heaven.
what do you do on a stifling hot day and you have enough of shopping malls? you head to the Gallery of Modern Art with their famously cool air conditioning. Of course.

Engine 16 looks like it just came off the factory floor at Baldwin......can you tell it's over 100 years old?!? One can only dream of looking and moving as well as 16 at that age! The Baldwin-built Mikado pulled a morning Freight Train on both mornings of the 2023 Winter Spectacular and I was lucky enough to get a seat on the second day. I can't wait to spend a lot more time there in Rockhill PA, now that steam has returned to the region!
