Happy Chinese New Year 1/24/09

I spent a day in Chinatown for the celebration of the Lunar New Year festivities. There were crowds of people, lots of food, and lions were everywhere. It was like a zoo! At the end of the day, we saw the Night in Chinatown Parade down Hotel street.
It's a tradition to feed the lion for good luck...where there is a lion, there were lots of people waiting to feed them.Even the stores provide a challenging way to feed the lion.Hmm..so why did the dragon cross the road? To get to the Parade!! Actually this shot kinda reminds me of the Beatles album cover.Lots of the lions were lined up waiting for the start of the parade.A parade is never complete w/o dignitary..Beauty queens..Clowns..
Lions..
And finally, dragons.

Your first pic of the little lion is so cute! Really like how you captured the expressions of the princess's also the little boy whom the lion is looking at. Great job!
