 I saw this carving in a store window in Chinatown and I must admit it impressed me. I don't think it can be real ivory but still I find it impressive.

 The parade itself was, a parade; lot's of Dragons and Lions. I shot mostly movies. Here are some screen shots. It was hard to get enough light.

 The finale was this extremely large long dragon. All lit up on the inside. Following along behind was a truck with a generator and lot's of extension cord to power all the lights inside the head and all along the body. By this point in the route the cord wranglers seem to be getting a bit weary.
