Dragons down the street
Yesterday, there was a Moon Festival in Chinatown in Boston.
I didn’t go to it, because I needed to work in the lab for 7 hours, and I had tried to maximize the amount of time I got to spend with HB before he headed off for Mnnpls again. In other words, I went in late and had to get crackin’ to work.
However! I did spot this as I was walking down the street.
Those guys are on stilts! And instead of using their hands for balance, they are using their hands to hold up the dragon heads. They made the heads move around (hence the almost not noticeable, slightly out of focus effect).
This was all accompanied by really loud percussion.
There they go.
I took all pics yesterday with Dee Dee.

Wow, that was really neat. It does pay to keep your camera with you at all times.

Amber says:
I am glad that you wer able to get to see a little bit of the action going on.
Those men on stilts. How do they do it? Boggles my mind. But then people are like, “How in the world can you ride that unicycle??” I guess we all have a little bit of freakish ability.

Neato! I too am glad you were able to get a few pics.
Those guys on stilts are amazing.

*whispering*
I actually don’t carry my camera with me all of the time. But I knew the festival was going on, so this time, put it in my bag ‘just in case’.
shhhhh.
Don’t wanna hurt Dee Dee’s feelings.
I tell her that I don’t want her to work too hard and that she needs a break…
Ern says:
Cool pictures! Really bright and colorful.
I reeeeeally want a digital SLR, but I will miss the size of my little digital elph, which is almost always in my purse.
I hope your experiments are continuing to go well!
