Some Mimes of my own

I have loved reading all @topffer 's pages on the MIME Festival he attended in Périgueux during the month of July.
How absolutely marvellous it must be to sit in the streets of a beautiful little place and be thoroughly entertained by the SILENCE of the ARTS!
Almost like watching LIVE Paintings.
In my own journeys through Europe, my hubby and I came upon many a street mime and generously gave a euro or two as they entertained the crowds.
Personally - I LOVE them, but many tourists and locals found them quite annoying.
(Golden cowboy was in Barcelona, the silver group having a break was in Rome, the Charlie Chaplin look-alike in Blankenberg Belgium, the faceless working group in Rome and the Ladder of Aladdin's in Luxembourg )
Have you ever seen real MIME's?

The acrobats on the right are impressive
There were a few living statues in the streets in Périgueux. They were not scheduled in the festival and I probably missed several. I liked this bronze one at the glory of the street cleaners. He was not moving a hair, like any good street cleaner
