Hi Martin,
Gung Hay Fat Choy to you!
This photo looks very familiar. Was it previously published somewhere?
It's hard to get a good night shot, let alone such a dramatic shot like this one. Is that firecracker smoke surrounding the dragon's head?
The onlookers (and their appearance) and the dragon handlers, along with the chinese banner and smoky atmosphere really add to drama, and sense of being there. It really takes me back to that late-70's era (men's hairstyles, etc.).

Great photo! It really captures the excitement of the crowd.
Great photo, Martin!
And may I wish everyone a happy & prosperous New Year!
Just for fun, you might like to check out this treatise of mine on the Chinese-Jewish cultural connection, namely, our Jewish love affair with Chinese food - http://therosenblog.blogspot.com/2004/06/jews-chinese-food.html
About 10 years, ago, a work assignment just before Jewish New Year had me in my old neighborhood, Randallstown, MD, around lunchtime. Randallstown still has a large Jewish population. I picked a local Chinese restaurant that I hadn't yet been too, and the food was great. After I paid the bill, I walked over to the owner to tell him how much I liked the place - I was wearing a kipah (yarlmuke) - he smiled, offered his hand, and wished me in very nice Hebrew, "L'Shanah Tovah!" (Happy New Year.)
What a great country!
Best regards,
SteveR
Thank you Martin for boosting the spirit of the Chinese New Year with such an appropriate photo. It's never easy taking pictures in crowded and action areas like this. The photo would be great if the "bait" was captured just a little away from the mouth of the dancing lion.
