[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On the Cleethorpes beach there are a few small fairground rides for the tourist children. A small 'big wheel', some swings, a slide and this small rollercoaster ride. It is very old. It looked tatty and old when I was 10 years old. I am now nearly 39. Cleethorpes as a tourist resort has not moved with the times. In fact, it has not moved at all. There was an indoor area of rides and sideshows. It has gone. The Council, in their infinite wisdom, built an "Events Arena". They put it at the wrong end of town. It has been used once! I could go on... but I won't
It's Monday... only 5 days to the weekend ;)
Have fun everyone

The use of black and white and the angle you took on the coaster speak well of the starkness of forgotten reverie. Everything you did with this picture post processing captures the feeling of times past and regret. The picture is well done.
