The Lion Dance
Happy Chinese New Year!
This photo was shot at the Thean Hou temple located off Jalan Syed Putra in Kuala Lumpur. The Thean Hou temple is well known among the Chinese community in Kuala Lumpur and celebrates Chinese New Year with lighted lanterns and other amazing decorations.
Among the highlights at the temple are scheduled dances and performances and, of course, the customary Lion Dance.
I was busy shooting the interior of the temple (or rather, attempting some unique perspectives) when the Lion Dance troupe showed up and began their performance. It was difficult to maneuver among the crowd but I eventually managed to lob off a few decent shots of the lion. The above photo is one of them (probably the best I had considering the circumstances).
Take note of the lanterns lined up in the background at the top right side of the photo, because you're going to see more of it in my next posting.

The pictures are amazing. Looking at them reminds me of a time when I fliped through the newspaper. There was a story on how two people fished out this wedding dress from the river. No one knows the story behind it but they spread it out and took a picture because it was beautiful. Tt also makes you want to think of a story behind the picture. What I am saying is keep taking pictures because when we look at them it gives us the opportunity to draw conslusions for ourselves. :)
Cool pics!
Muito legal o seu blog parabéns, faça uma visita em WWW.REDEDNS.BLOGSPOT.COM
Great Dragon. Did you make the picture youself? Who is in the dragon?

martijn: Yes I shot the photo myself. All the photos here are mine.
Btw, it's a lion, not a dragon. :) And I have no idea who's the person inside the lion.
Gong Xi Fa Chai!
