The text under the photo on Flickr says: “Scaring little children for charity, in Westgate, Stevenage.” Now there is something creepy about this clown, and I could see him scaring some little kids perhaps. In any event, his cause is a good one.<\/p>\n

I wonder if he was playing the\u00a0alto at all, or if he was just standing stationary. Given his gloves, I would guess he wasn’t playing. Perhaps this was a piece of performance art.<\/p>\n

NB: I did optimize this photo for use on my blog, so it did lose some of its clarity. Please visit anemonprojectors’ original photo page on Flickr <\/a>if you’d like to view the original.<\/p>\n
