Happy New Year


Chinese New Year that is!!!

Went to the parade in Sydney this year.

The Archway, into Tumbalong Park. When the parade started I was standing opposite the entry, so I got some fantastic views and great photos.
The Year of the Rat.

Dragons.
Love this shot!
This is how long one of the dragons was.


This guy posed for the photographer crouching in front of me. Which worked for me. After these two shot he came and stood up close so he could get a shot of the face, but my camera was too slow to catch it.

Random entertainers. Pretty costumes!




Terracotta Warriors



Stilt walkers!I love this costume.


Though this shot made me laugh. Some things are universal I guess.


And then on to the Chinese Gardens, but I can't be arsed with blogger right now to upload the pics.

Beautiful! There's an annual event here in Atlanta to celebrate the New Year, but I can't afford the tickets.

I'd love to be there!
