Palm Springs & the California Desert

A weathered Ramos Bros Circus billboard stands on short legs in a desert field in Wonder Valley, California: a red-and-white sunburst with blue stars, the circus lettering, and three showgirls in feathered headdresses at right. A blue-violet mountain, yellow-green scrub and a pale sky surround it, with the word Circus ghosted at lower right.
