This weekend we went to the Ann Arbor Summer Festival out of curiosity to see acrobats dangling from a helium balloon. It's a strange art form (if you can call it art). I'm sorry to say, it was a little disappointing.The show only lasted 15 minutes. Only one performer was involved, doing only one kind of motion: somersaults around a harness dangling below the balloon. Two people holding guy ropes were moving the whole apparatus to add a little other motion. The music was wimpy sort of newage stuff. Oh well.
In the foreground of the first photo, you can see the wonderful fountain in the plaza where the festival takes place, near the Michigan League building. I am a big fan of Carl Milles [1875-1955].
