Carnival colours at Aldeburgh today.
Inflatable fish kites, flying above the beach. Two people, sat on a wall, looking at a fishing boat on the shore and the sea beyond. Snooks the dog statue, dressed in a cravat and hat, overlooks three people on a bench, near the boating pond. A child contemplates going into a multi-coloured inflatable adventure playground, labelled, "It's loads of fun".
