Chinese New Year


Into central London for the Chinese New Year (year of the Tiger) festivities in Trafalgar Square and around Chinatown. Lousy day weather wise, but at least the heavy rain on the way in stopped mostly, but the dark and gloomy clouds hardly cleared, so the light from a photographic point of view wasn't great - very poor actually.


 



 


 


Concentrated on some details, the lanterns etc for once rather than the people. The area and streets around Lisle Street and Gerrard Street isnt that big, became very crowded, and I got fed up with the people milling around. Can't understand why some idiots were trying to get through with bikes.

Incidently these guys - see the photo below - were in Trafalgar Square before the festivities started .
Thought the one on the right looked a little out of place .....
