Description

Photograph of an animal performance at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. A man in a t-shirt and pants holds a bucket in his left hand while standing on a stage, which has been photographed with its front facing the right side of the photo. He turns to the right to face an animal, likely a sea lion or other aquatic mammal, holding itself up on a two-legged stand. Behind the man is a large box with a design reminiscent of treasure chests in pop culture, with a soccer ball resting atop it. Above the stage and draping behind it in the background is an expansive net as well as lines of pennants. On the left side of the brick base the stage is built on are two sockets with wires extending off-camera. On the right side, a woman with her hair up in a large bun and wearing a one-piece bathing suit stands on a small platform to the stage's base, with a bucket hanging from the platform's railing. She turns away from the camera to look at the man an animal onstage. Beyond the stage and its occupants are multiple tall trees, their leaves blocking out most of the sky.
