In Sheffield today there was a procession to celebrate the Chinese New Year so I went down to get some photos...along with all the other photographers in Sheffield! It started with a display in front of the town hall and then the procession went down The Moor and stopped at various Chinese Restaurants where they had to feed the dragon. The food (lettuce) was hanging from the doorway and the dragon danced its way round it, grabbed the lettuce and then ate it. All the time the drum was beating and the dragons were dancing. It was great to watch and really interesting to see this celebration first hand. It was so colourful and fun and I got some great shots..it was actually quite difficult to choose which photo to have for my one a day! I loved this one because of the piercing eyes of the dragon and the feel of the procession with the crowd.I'm going out on Thursday to a Chinese New Year meal so I'm looking forward to getting more photos then!
