Dragon chasers...


Preparations begin for Chinese New Year. Each year there is a parade from Chinatown to Albert Square, led by a dragon, which is even more apt in 2012 as it will be the Year of the Dragon. This trail of unstrung paper lanterns reminded me of the dragon that will be dancing underneath them come late January.
