Sunday night the Lunar New Year was celebrated in Hong Kong with a really cool parade. That is quite a statement coming from a guy who was born on a holiday and thought for many years that everyone was given a parade on their birthdays – but this was something special!
Unfortunately some of my pictures from the coolest part of the parade came out blurry. I guess I was caught up in the moment and the camera was bouncing around in excitement as much as I was. There was a really cool drum band from Korea that had characters – much like those in the stage play of the Lion King – dancing around to their music. The music was generated by xylophone kinds of instruments welded into funky designs that the musicians peddled as they played. There were also booming drums and dancing and and and… it was cool!
I really came to see the dragon dance… and I saw it more than once. So mission was accomplished. Awesome thing to experience.
Really beautiful pictures! Must be even better up close and personal. Glad you're enjoying this experiance, while getting work done too. Talked to Kathy the other day, I think she really misses you, Billy Bob. Take care Love you.
