Pat Martin, Cirque du Soleil (December theme: On holiday)

The tents of Cirque du Soleil look wonderful in bright blue and yellow, but I preferred the contrasts in the black and white photo, taken on a stormy day with the dramatic clouds completing the picture. A visit to the circus has always been a favourite holiday treat.
