Coney Island Amusement Park has three memorial days each season.  Opening day, The Mermaid Parade and Closing Night.  This year, Closing Night, Astroland may be closing for the last time and there were many photographers there capturing the historical moment in time.

I took a walk on the fishing pier and went wide!

    Quite festive Pablo! And an admirable example of night photography. Looks like it needs a hair of a tilt though to me.

    Very good night shot, Pablo. I agree with smalls that it looks tilted, however sometimes the angle of the shot gives it that appearance.

    - Mmmmmm... Multiplicative
