After the entertainment of the 2019 Cleethorpes Armed Services Day I went out in the evening as the light was fading.
On the South Promenade was a Ferris wheel, erected for the weekend, and also some amusements and food stalls.
I concentrated on the floodlit Ferris wheel to try and illustrate the fading light in a perfect summer sky.
As I left at approx. 22:30 there were still hundreds of people waiting for the firework display.

| As the sun set the floodlights came on. (A man in a car called me over and asked me if I knew what time Tesco closed!? We have some odd people in Cleethorpes, don't we Gwen?) |
 |
These people where watching an aeroplane display by "The Fireflies", two 'planes
that left firework trails in the night sky.

 |
The building adjacent to the wheel is Cleethorpes Leisure Centre, closed for the night
and with it's lights off, it held a perfect reflection of the Ferris Wheel.

Credit where it's due, I pinched this dramatic viewpoint
from Ruth Rushton.

Love this set. I was there first thing in the morning when they were setting it up. I could hardly get near it for vans and boxes. I love the shot from the front looking up. I wanted that shot!!!!
