The Tower Circus is positioned at the base of the tower, between its four legs. The circus first opened to the public on 14 May 1894 and has not missed a season since.
The present interior was designed by Frank Matcham and was completed in 1900.
The circus ring can be lowered into a pool of water and holds 42,000 US gallons (160,000 l; 35,000 imp gal) at a depth of up to 4 ft 6 inches, which allows for Grand Finales with Dancing Fountains. The Tower Circus is one of four left in the world that can do this.
The clown Charlie Cairoli appeared at the tower for 39 years. Britain's best-known ringmaster Norman Barrett worked the ring for 25 years.
Animals appeared in the circus until 1990.
It was planned to close the circus at the end of the 1990 season and replace it with an animatronic attraction. Public opinion and the fact the animatronics were not ready meant that the circus continued.
Today, the circus is produced and directed by Hungarian Laci Endresz, who is married to Maureen, one of the Roberts family who have a long association with the Tower Circus. A live band (sometimes accompanied by Mooky the Clown) provides all the music for the show, often dynamically syncing with the performers' movements. The circus band play a variety of different songs, usually Latin for the acts. In the winter the circus stages a pantomime instead of the regular show.
... from a bit different pespective.
Like my friend said, Landmark Tower looks like headquater of evil ;) . It`s very interesting building, one of the highest in Japan ( 295.8 m (970 ft) high ), containing a five star hotel which occupies floors 49-70. The lower 48 floors contain shops, restaurants, clinics, and offices.

Vista de diferentes minaretes y un campanario en el casco antiguo de Mostar (Bosnia). La fotografía no tiene nada apreciable técnicamente hablando, pero me gusta el hecho de que estos templos estén tan cercanos unos de otros.
Minarets and a church's bell tower in Mostar's old town. The picture in my opinion is bad, but I liked the fact of having three mosques and a church in such a small space.
Rabat"s most famous landmark, the unfinished Minaret of what would have been the worlds second biggest mosque had it been completed before the death of the Almohad Sultan Yacoub Al Mansor in the12th century.

Alloa's greatest attraction is Alloa Tower, the largest surviving keep in Scotland it was built by the Erskines. The first phase of the building was erected in the 14th century but as the wealth and prominence of the family grew, so did Alloa Tower. The Erskine's were granted the much coveted title of the Earls of Mar by Mary Queen Scots who was also a frequent visitor to Alloa Tower in her childhood. By the end of the 18th century, Alloa Tower was merely an annexe to a grand mansion that had grown up around it. However, all but the Tower was destroyed when a fire swept through the place in 1800 and the buildings constructed in their stead have since been demolished.

La tour est une œuvre de l’architecte français Jean Nouvel. Elle fait 144 mètres divisés en 33 étages et 4 sous-sols. Pour sa réalisation, des concepts architecturaux bien distincts ont été combinés: structure en béton armé recouverte par une façade en verre et plus de 4.400 fenêtres. Son aspect est si différent des constructions qu’il y a aux alentours que son impact visuel a été comparé à celui de la Sagrada Familia.
