Seagull in flight seen from below, wings fully spread against a cloudy sky; below it, out of focus, the iron framework of a structure over the water.
Back of a person's head with a large cloud of candy floss, an ear in view; in the dark background, blurred lights along a strut.
Curved roller-coaster track with steel supports against a dark sky; on the right, large letters “CR” made of light bulbs.
Seen from below, a ride gondola with passengers: one woman laughs, another raises an arm; safety bars run diagonally across the frame, the sky is smooth.
Close-up of an ornate carousel horse with reliefs and flowers, twisted brass poles beside it; a second horse blurred behind.
Pale tarpaulin photographed at an angle with dark lettering, “…piness” and “Luck” legible; a piece of sky at top right.
Seen obliquely from below, the ornate roof edge of a carousel with reliefs, painted flourishes and a row of small bulbs against a dark sky.
Side of a machine labelled “2p Play” with black diagonal stripes; bright backlight shines through the glass, an arcade blurred behind.
Clock tower with Roman numerals against a cloudy sky; from a pole on the right, strings of lights fan out across the frame.
Bow of a water-ride boat with peeling paint in front of two rising ramps; dark water on the right, buildings in the background.
Seen obliquely from below, a large letter made of light bulbs, some lit, some out; another letter beside it, the sky bright and overcast.
Wrought-iron scrolled arch with a spire at its centre against a sky with scattered clouds.
Seagull seen from below, wings spread and head raised, against a deep black background.

The song is from the album “The First of a Million Kisses” by the band Fairground Attraction.

Brighton Palace Pier is a somewhat dated funfair on and above the sea, whose origins go back to the 19th century.

A woman in a long black dress, seen from behind, walks along a path with a dog; both are blurred by motion.
