Scenes from the lion dance performance at the mall today, starting off at around 10 to 2 in the afternoon, and went on for another hour or so

i think it was the chung hwa troupe. probably.

*traditional drum solo*

early crowds

growing numbers


preparations

the cute impromptu dancer from the audience

chinese lanterns, all in the spirit of CNY

Two of the "lions" *grrr*

one tall, posing 'lion'.

probably the shot of the day.
