Chinese New Year 2012

The last day of celebration ends in fireworks till 1 a.m.

By 6 a.m. the streets are all cleaned up as if the fireworks never happened.

Wondering what this is? It's a floating candle lantern, like in the movie "Tangled". It was a long exposure.

It's the year of the Dragon. Here are a few pictures from last winter. Enjoy.

This is like getting your picture taken with Mickey Mouse at Disneyland.

Only the emperor could have 81 knobs on his door.

A very important person's carriage.
