DescriptionTwo men stand in what would have been the interior of the circus tent, looking at the ruins of what appears to have been the band stand. Wooden steps lead up to a platform with folding metal chairs and other debris on it. The ruins of bleachers are in the foreground. A smaller tent and trees are in the background.
