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

The Great East Window at St Mary Redcliffe.
St Mary Redcliffe lost the majority of its medieval stained glass during the damage done by Parliamentary forces in the 17th century. In 1842, the committee responsible for the restoration of the church were mostly concerned with the condition of the stonework which was estimated to cost some £40,000 to repair, but were determined to have the large east window, which at the time was bricked up, filled with glass. In 1847, the committee awarded the contract for its design and implementation to William Wailes of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, one of the most prolific stained glass designers of the 19th century, who estimated the cost at £330. This window was replaced in 1904 by a design by Clayton & Bell; Wailes' window being destroyed.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin, widely known as St Mary Redcliffe, is the main Church of England parish church for the Redcliffe district of Bristol. The first reference to a church on the site appears in 1158, with the present building dating from 1185 to 1872. The church is considered one of the country’s finest and largest parish churches as well as an outstanding example of English Gothic architecture. The church is so large it is sometimes mistaken for Bristol Cathedral by tourists. It is, unsurprisingly of Grade I listed status.
The church is notable for its many large stained glass windows, decorative stone vaults, flying buttresses, rare hexagonal porch and massive Gothic spire. With a height of 84 metres to the top of the weathervane, St Mary Redcliffe is the second-tallest structure in Bristol and the sixth-tallest parish church in the country. The church spire is a major Bristol landmark, visible from across the city and until the completion of Castle Park View in 2020, was the tallest structure ever to have been erected in Bristol.
St Mary Redcliffe has received widespread critical acclaim from various architects, historians, poets, writers and monarchs. Queen Elizabeth I, on a visit to the church in 1574, described St Mary Redcliffe as “The fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England”; Simon Jenkins gives St Mary Redcliffe the maximum five-star rating in his book ‘England’s Thousand Best Churches’, one of only eighteen to receive such a rating, describing it as a “masterpiece of English Gothic”; and Nikolaus Pevsner says that “St Mary Redcliffe need not fear comparison with any other English parish church”.

Preserved ex LMS Class 502 has just arrived into the Wall siding at Southport prior to working five out and back Specials to Formby in June 1986.
* From 1978 new Class 507 units began to arrive on the network and the 1938 ex LMS Class 502's which by now were considered life-expired, were gradually withdrawn.
The final regular passenger service was on 1 September 1980, with a farewell tour five days later. The last set was withdrawn in November 1980.
Two DMBS cars were reinstated in 1981 for departmental duties, and allocated to Hall Road. The departmental units were renumbered from M28354 and M28357 to ADB977017 and ADB977018 respectively and kept at Kirkdale until 1986.
All cars, except for one two-car set, were scrapped.
A two-car set, driving motor 29896 & 28361 was claimed for preservation by the National Railway Museum.
For many years the unit was kept at the Steamport Centre in Southport, where it was restored to original LMS condition, complete with maroon livery. It operated occasional special services on the Merseyrail network for several years in the 1980's.
When Steamport closed, the NRM were unable to find an alternative location to display it and relocated the unit to remote storage at MoD Kineton.
In early 2007, it was suggested that the NRM was considering disposing of this unit as it no longer featured as part of its long-term plans. In response, a new preservation group 'Friends of the 502' was formed, with the aim of taking over responsibility for the units upkeep.
In May 2009 the unit was moved by road to a private site in Tebay, Cumbria. In March 2012, following re-development of the site, the unit was moved to it's current base of the Merseyside Transport Trust in Burscough, Lancashire.
This move means that the unit is under cover for the first time in 15 years.
Pour terminer sur cette exposition. Merci pour vos retours.
Bon vendredi et belle fin de semaine à tous.

I was attracted to this building because of its odd shape and the old painted lettering ... something about clam chowder, bouillon & biscuits gave me an appetite for this one. I flirted with a crop on the right but then opted for this due to the ad on the building in the mid right portion of the photo. The more modern building, in the right foreground, along with that billboard made for a nice contrast with the older architecture in the center. Plus the late autumn sun was shining on it at just the right moment and that sun was playing a game of peek-a-boo with the clouds ... so what are you gonna do? You have to go for the opportunity I say ... and so I did.
I love the fire escapes on the building that pass up through the painted lettering. The room air conditioners have an almost surreal effect. There's a lot going on here and I chose to crop out the entire foreground to showcase the building.
This was taken in New York City's Meatpacking District.
This photo has been in Explore. Highest position #74.
Frame #4 of the aforementioned 24(220). One day I decided to be patient and two months later this is what showed up.
One of the three on the roll that I took a second shot of to be sure.

Spied this mushroom submerged under the brook. I assume it's a temporary condition given how big it is.
This 1969 Ford F100 Custom Cab was amazingly solid with only a tiny bit of rust. The windshield was good and even the interior was usable as is. I was not really looking for a truck but put a bid in on this one given the great condition but ultimately was not the winner on it. Sold for $1,325.00 + tax + fees.

The Oscar Wilde Memorial (1997) in the Merrion Square Park Playground.
Oscar Wilde’s (1854-1900) rich and dramatic portrayals of the human condition have made him one of Ireland’s most popular and loved writer’s. His short stories, plays and poems continue to inspire and entertain people the world over.
This memorial fittingly captures Wilde’s dramatic and audacious personality.
Commissioned by the Guinness Ireland Group, and created by Irish sculptor Danny Osborne, the memorial took almost two and a half years from conception to completion.

The 'microbus' built by Volkswagen was known in Australia as the Kombi.
Much prized over the decades by surfers - hence a good choice for a Scarborough Beach sculpture.
A friend from England really wanted to sweet talk a cute guy out of his pants but had no room to accomplish the task. I volunteered my room on the condition that I got to be photographer.:)
Already I've put up two Christmas trees. It's been several years since I've even put up one. Well... wasn't my intention to put up more than one but the first one wasn't my favorite and if you're going to do something for the first time in a long while then DO IT RIGHT!
So now, to eliminate confusion in the future I've packed up the older tree and it's going to ReStore so that someone who might not have a tree will have a prettier one than the two that they had last week on their floor.
ReStore is a retail division of Habitat for Humanity. There's one fairly close to our home and we've been in it a few times recently and have donated several items that were still in good condition but we wanted something different in place of the ones we removed. They're a very generous organization that ensures homes to those in need that could not afford a house. This is our past President Jimmy Carter's favorite charity and he donates his time and presence often. My brother-in-law is a retired architect/builder who also donates of his time and knowledge to Habitat. Yes, I support ReStore - have several items going to them now.
Another one of Jane which is a little better than the last.
But this wonderful Bedford KM was seen this year at the Ackworth show in July and im so glad the owner has left it as it is..
I saw this many years ago when it was stored in shed with others at Joseph Hughes and im glad its escaped at last!
It's hard work being a red panda and having to look your best to entertain the visitors at Bristol Zoo. A good helping of bamboo leaves is what is required to keep me looking in tip top condition.
Manufactured when all 126s were Polish made, Italian production ceased in 1979.
Plenty of these still on the go in Italy, generally in better condition than 500s.
You know, I've been thinking. Daisy does love her beer...so perhaps it would be a good idea to make her earn every drop from now on. Therefore from this day forward, "hubby" must be "Daisy" ...before a single drop is allowed to pass her lips. No half measures allowed. Fully dressed and accessorized with every hair in place...followed by an inspection before she is allowed to proceed. Under any other circumstances....House of Dupree is as dry as Death Valley.
Gosh, I wish I could be there when she reads this at her lunch break! 😜❤️️
