Taken at the "Schueberfouer". It's an annual event in Luxembourg since 1340, and there are lots of thrill rides, rollercoasters, ghost rides, restaurants and much more. This is a picture of the Airmaxx.
I took about 50 pictures with the tripod mounted camera, and chose the one with the best light pattern (as always the very last picture I took :)

Post Processing in PSP8:
Cloned away a small piece of metal in the foreground and some lens flares
Levels (18/11,1/255) to make sure the black is black
HSL (sat+25/light+5)
HSL on yellow (hue+12)
resize with 1,25 aspect ratio
slight crop at the top
USM (1,5/100/25)

Focal length: 18mm
