Went into the city yesterday to catch the preparations for the week of Chinese New Year festivities (27th Jan - 5th Feb). 2017 is the Year of the Rooster.. is that you, is 2017 your year? It's not mine :) The blow ups here at Elizabeth Quay were stoically holding up under the sweltering heat, which was no mean feat, I was struggling a little myself! Will head back to the city through the week to capture more of the celebrations, always enjoy the traditional Lion dance. Hope you are having a good weekend, take care and stay safe...
...I'm headed to the celebration on Maui this morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures Grace, love all the red! I wasn't as brave, decided not to leave my air-conditioned home at all! It's going to be cooler in the next few days so I might go and have a look too.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThank You! I see the incoming rooster/phoenix and the snake (c`est moi).
ReplyDeleteGlad you are not a rooster, as one's own year is unlucky! Happy New Year and much wealth and happiness to YOU with Good Health mon ami!
A feast full of colours! Arianna
ReplyDeleteCool shots on a hot day! Nice shots, Grace.

ReplyDeleteSuch colourful shots.
ReplyDeleteHappy Chinese New Year
All the best Jan
Love that dragon!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a lot of folks are in for a lot of fun! I've not participated in a Chinese New Year celebration, but I've heard about them and they certainly are festive and colorful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun splash of color these inflatables make. The year of the rooster is no my year either. Chinese New Year is a good celebration.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blasts of vivid colour in that first photo. Chinese New Year is such a colourful time.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid it is my year, the year of the rooster.
ReplyDeleteI like the perspective in the first photo, the colours are so bright against the blue sky!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics
ReplyDeleteHappy Chinese New Year, Greetings
Wow, eye-blasting color. I wouldn't want to dance with the dragon on a hot day.
